Air conditioner seems to run too much
■The current air conditioner replaced an older model. The
use of more efficient components may cause the air
conditioner to run longer than an older model, but the total
energy consumption will be less. Newer air conditioners do
not emit the "blast” of cold air you may be accustomed to
from older air conditioners, but this is not an indication of
lesser cooling capacity or efficiency. Refer to the efficiency
rating (EER) and capacity rating (in Btu/h) marked on the air
conditioner.
■The air conditioner is in a heavily occupied room, or heat-
producing appliances are in use in the room. Use exhaust
vent fans while cooking or bathing and try not to use heat-
producing appliances during the hottest part of the day. A
higher capacity air conditioner may be required, depending
on the size of the room being cooled.
Air conditioner cycles on and off too much or does not
cool
■The air conditioner is not properly sized for your room.
Check the cooling capabilities of your room air conditioner.
Room air conditioners are not designed to cool multiple
rooms.
■The filter is dirty or obstructed by debris. Clean the filter.
■The inside evaporator and outside condenser coils are
dirty or obstructed by debris. See Annual Maintenance.
■There is excessive heat or moisture (open container
cooking, showers, etc.) in the room. Use a fan to exhaust
heat or moisture from the room. Try not to use heat-
producing appliances during the hottest part of the day.
■The louvers are blocked. Install the air conditioner in a
location where the louvers are free from curtains, blinds,
furniture, etc.
