Jakarta – Air conditioners which are also called AC (air conditioners) are indeed widely used by the community, especially when the weather is hot. The air will feel cool when the AC is on perfectly. However, what can turn on the AC all day for 24 hours non-stop?
Even though it is refreshing, it turns out that AC should not be used carelessly, especially if it is used excessively. There needs to be a balance between the comfort of using AC and the various impacts that arise afterwards.
So what are the impacts of turning on the AC all day for 24 hours without stopping? The following are a series of risks that can arise from using AC for too long, as reported on the SoCool page.
Clogged Air Filter
AC functions by taking air from outside the house and then filtering it into cold air, then releasing it inside the house. Air continuously passes through the filter while it is on, so there will be more dirt blockages with use.
If the filter is not replaced regularly, the quality of the air entering the house will decrease, which can later cause other problems.
Energy Waste
There are some people who believe that turning on the AC all day will save energy because they don’t have to work hard to cool the room. In fact, the AC will use more power to further cool the room beyond the coldest air temperature in its setting.
Electricity Bills Are Swelling
The longer the AC is used, the more electricity it uses. Therefore, of course the electricity bill will increase even more, especially if you turn on the AC all day 24 hours non-stop.
Environmental pollution
Turning on the AC for too long will also have a bad impact on the environment. Because the use of AC actually contributes almost 35% of annual greenhouse gas emissions in a house.
Even though AC is claimed to be environmentally friendly, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t produce any emissions at all. Moreover, if you turn it on all day, more emissions will be produced.
Electrical Short Circuit
Continuous use of AC can cause the home’s electrical wiring to overheat and become a potential source of fire. One of the main concerns is the possibility of electrical fires.
Health problems
By turning on the AC all day means your body will continue to be in a cold room. This can cause health problems including sore throat, dry skin and allergies.
In addition, ACs that are used too often are prone to having clogged filters, so that dust and pollutants will be inhaled. If it is prolonged, it is feared that it will cause respiratory diseases.
Reduced Usage Time
Generally, the service life of an AC is quite long, in the range of 10-12 years. However, several factors can reduce the service life. An AC that is on continuously puts excessive pressure on the system, causing the AC to wear out more quickly and increasing the risk of damage more quickly.
Leaving the AC on all day for 24 hours non-stop can also cause the evaporator coil to freeze. This will result in inadequate or no airflow, essentially resulting in failure of the entire AC system.
