Air conditioner seems to run too much

• Is there a door or window open?

Keep doors and

windows closed.

• 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 units, 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

heatproducing appliances are in use in the room.

Use exhaust vent fans while cooking or bathing and try not

to use heatproducing appliances during the hottest part of

the day Portable air conditioners are designed as

supplemental cooling to local areas within a room. A

higher capacity air conditioner may be required,

depending on the size of the room being cooled.

Air conditioner runs for a short time only, but room

is not cool

• Set temperature is close to room temperature.

Lower set temperature. See “Portable Air Conditioner

Use.”

Air conditioner runs, but does not cool

• The filter is dirty or obstructed by debris.

the filter.

• Air outlet is blocked.

Clear air outlet.

• Set temperature is too high.

Lower set

temperature.

•

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 heatproducing 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.

•

The outside temperature is below 16°C (61°F). Do not

try to operate your air conditioner in the cooling mode

when the outside temperature is below 16°C (61°F).
