- In extreme heat, electricity bill increases due to less cooling of AC.
- Pouring cold water on the condenser coil will increase the cooling of the AC.
- The water would evaporate and draw heat from the coil, resulting in better cooling.
- Before pouring water, switch off the AC and avoid electrical parts.
AC Cooling Tips: In many parts of the country including North India, the temperature reaches near 50 degrees during the summer season. Even AC can start sweating at this temperature. In such heat, the AC has to use a lot of power for cooling and despite this the room is not able to cool down completely. If this is happening to you too then a bucket of water can solve it. With a bucket of water you will be able to get ice-like coolness even in the scorching heat. Let us know how this method will work.
Why can’t AC provide cooling in summer?
The AC draws the air inside the room and passes it through the condenser coil, due to which the air gets cooled. When the temperature outside is high, the coils are not able to cool the air completely. Due to this, the room does not cool down despite using the AC for hours. On the other hand, the AC continuously works at full load to cool the room, due to which the electricity bill is sure to increase.
A bucket of water will do wonders
The coils become hot in summer. When you pour cold water on it, it will touch the condenser coil and turn into steam. During this time it will also pull the heat from the coil along with it. When the coil is cold, the refrigerant inside it will be able to cool the air more. This will result in more cooling and the compressor will not have to work with full load. This method works effectively in dry and hot weather.
Switch off the AC before pouring water
Before pouring water on the outdoor unit of AC, you have to keep some things in mind. First of all switch off the AC. After this, pour water on the metal fins with the help of a bucket or pipe. Keep in mind that the water pressure should not be high and water should not enter the electric panel, wiring and control box. After adding water, let the AC dry completely for 15-20 minutes and then use it. Apart from this, keeping the AC filter and outdoor unit clean also increases the cooling efficiency.
Follow these tips for more cooling
- Keep the doors and windows of the room completely closed.
- Set the temperature of the AC at 24 degrees and do not change it frequently.
- Running ceiling fan along with AC also increases cooling and the room will cool down quickly.
