In hot weather, the desire to use an air conditioner is not lacking. This device certainly provides undeniable comfort and allows you to stay focused and relaxed, especially in the office or in the car, but it also requires responsible use and regular maintenance. Here are some very useful tips…
It is recommended to enter a cool room with several layers of clothing in order to avoid a thermal shock and to be able to remove them gradually as you get used to the temperature.
Avoid sitting precisely under the source of cold air , as this "draft" can cause neck pain, stiff necks or respiratory tract infections (colds, sore throats, etc.).
You don't need to run your device all day, a few hours a day is enough to cool a room. In addition, air conditioners dry the air , which is harmful to the ocular and respiratory mucous membranes. The ideal humidity (percentage humidity) of a room is between 30 and 60%.
If your air conditioner has a hot air exhaust pipe, it is strongly advised not to open a window to let the pipe out or to leave it inside the air-conditioned room (contrary to what some modes indicate or catalogs). The doors and windows of the cooled room must remain closed to preserve the temperature.
Finally, air conditioning does not ensure the renewal of air. At night, open windows or doors to change the air.
For safety reasons, unplug the appliance for the duration of the maintenance procedures.
Limit the difference in indoor-outdoor temperature to 5 ° C and remember to turn off the air conditioning a quarter of an hour before your arrival to gradually return to a temperature close to the outside.
Finally, remember to change the filters regularly.

Is air conditioning essential?
Air conditioning should not be the first solution in case of heat because there are simple ways to keep it cool in your home. By leaving the doors (doors, windows, curtains, shutters) closed during the hours of sunshine and open during the night, it is possible to refresh its interior. During hot weather, do not hesitate to use the naturally cooled rooms (basement, garage, rooms in the shade ...). The use of an air conditioning can then be considered if your accommodation is difficult to cool or for people who are fragile. In the latter case, call in a professional who will be the only one able to judge the type, power and location of the equipment required.Responsible use
The target temperature of an air-conditioned room is 25 to 26 ° C so as not to cause thermal shock when passing through the cooled room. In addition, the difference between the indoor and outdoor temperature should not be more than 5 ° C. To make sure of this, it may be useful to place thermometers in the cool room and outside, away from direct sunlight. Also think about energy savings: 1 ° C less is equivalent to 20-25% more energy consumption!It is recommended to enter a cool room with several layers of clothing in order to avoid a thermal shock and to be able to remove them gradually as you get used to the temperature.
