The cold winter hits seven ways to double the heating effect of your air conditioning
"The air conditioner is good for cooling in summer, but the heating effect is not good in winter. What the hell?" For this reason, the reporter interviewed the technical director of Daikin home air conditioner in New York and introduced us to the "seven tricks" to improve the heating effect of air conditioners. It can make your home air conditioner use a hundred times more efficient.
Problem 1. "Small horse-drawn cart", heating power is too small
The applicable area of air-conditioning heating is smaller than the area of the room where the air-conditioning is used, resulting in an undesirable increase in the room temperature.
Solution: Choose a large air conditioner rather than a small one. If conditions permit, families can eliminate old machines and replace them with air-conditioning models with corresponding horsepower. Other users can close doors and windows appropriately, or add partition doors in the living room and balcony to reduce the heating area of the house. Or use a heater for heating at the same time.

Problem 2: The heating effect is not good without electric auxiliary function
The main reason for the poor heating effect of many air conditioners is that there is no electric auxiliary heating function, and the old air conditioner is very prominent.
Solution: What is electric auxiliary heating? Just add a function similar to an electric heater in the air conditioner, which makes the mechanism heat up much faster. In the weird weather with low temperature and high humidity in winter in New York, choose an inverter air conditioner with electric auxiliary heating, which has strong heating, comfortable and energy-saving.
Problem three, too much dust in the air conditioner
If the air filter of the air conditioner is not cleaned for a long time, it will accumulate a lot of dust, which will affect the heat exchange of the air conditioner; and the growth of bacteria is harmful to health.
Solution: Clean the air conditioner filter before using the air conditioner in winter, the heat exchange rate can be increased by 10%-30%!
Air conditioner cleaning method
1. Prepare cleaning and maintenance tools: towels, toothpaste, toothbrushes, special cleaning agents for indoor units
2. Filter cleaning: open the panel, remove the filter, rinse with water below 40℃, or clean with a vacuum cleaner.
3. Evaporator cleaning: spray a special cleaning agent evenly on the evaporator, cover the panel and let it stand for 10 minutes, then rinse with clean water to take away the dirt. (This step is a deep cleaning, it is recommended to find a professional after-salesman to operate)
4. Panel and air outlet cleaning: Use a towel or toothpaste to gently wipe the air conditioner panel and air outlet.
5. Assemble, open and use.
Note: All cleaning must be done when the air conditioner is powered off! ! !
Problem four, improper use
When heating, the air outlet of the air conditioner faces upwards. If it is not handled properly, it is easy to cause the loss of indoor heating. The direct consequence is that the human body cannot feel the temperature.
Solution: When the air conditioner is heating, the warm air is upward, and the cold air is downward. When heating, the air outlet of the air conditioner should be downward. For example, the Daikin I series air conditioner has a vertical super long air outlet and a carpet-style air supply, which can achieve "warmth from the feet".
Question 5. Defrosting
When the outdoor temperature is lower than 0 degrees, the outdoor unit of the air conditioner will be frosted. At this time, when the user turns on the air conditioner to heat, it takes about 8-12 minutes to "defrost", the room temperature may drop, and some users mistakenly think that the air conditioner heating effect is not ideal.
Solution: Avoid the air vent when defrosting, and enter the room when heating. When buying an air conditioner, you can also choose an air conditioner with intelligent defrosting function. It has frosting and defrosting, no frost, no frost, fast defrosting, and fast heating.
Problem six, lack of refrigerant
If your own air conditioner has been used for a long time, or has been moved or repaired, it may be a refrigerant leak.
Solution: Ask the after-sales service personnel to check the fluorine addition.
Problem seven, voltage instability
Residents use electricity for heating in winter. In some areas, the power supply voltage may be unstable or too low, causing the air conditioner to not work properly.
Solution: add a voltage regulator to the air conditioner; or buy a large voltage air conditioner with wide voltage, which can still operate normally under unstable voltage conditions.
