There
are many air conditioner problems in Singapore that majority of us may be
unaware of. Some of these problems may be as simple as improper usage while
others may arise from more serious issues and hence require the help from aircon installation or aircon repair services in Singapore.
Failure
to keep room enclosed
Some
examples of improper use of air conditioners in Singapore would be failing to
close all window and doors while the air conditioner is turned on. Failure to
do so would likely cause the aircon to work harder in trying to cool the room.
This will result in the aircon being more likely to breakdown over time. Hence
a good practice would be to ensure that the room is enclosed at all times while
the aircon is turned on. Not only does this reduce the chance of having a
faulty aircon, this also reduces your electricity bill.
Dust
and dirt collection
Another
common problem would be lack of cleaning done. Cleaning the aircon is essential
as dust tends to collect on the filters and air conditioning coils. Dust
collection will cause the aircon to be unable to work at its full potential as
the compressor and the fan is likely to stop working efficiently. Change the
filters or wash the filters, depending on the type you have, once every few
months to ensure ideal performance. Cleaning the air conditioning coils will
help as well.
Choked
drainage pipe
Having
a choked drainage pipe is also a common problem faced by many these days. In a
humid country like Singapore, the condensate drainage pipe (the pipe through
which water drains out from) can become blocked from the collected dirt and
growing mold. Performing regular vacuum and checks on the drainage pipe can
eliminate backflow of water which results in leakage from the air con unit.
