Keep the exhaust hose as short and straight as possible
The exhaust hose removes heat from the room. It should remain as short and straight as possible without sharp
bends or twists to maximize efficiency. If the exhaust hose must be extended, do not exceed 9’.
Turn the air conditioner on early
Turning the air conditioner on early instead of waiting until the hottest point of the day will allow the unit to be
more effective. The air conditioner will not have to work as hard to cool the room down and maintain the set
temperature.
Reduce heat sources
Direct sunlight, televisions, computers and other heat generating appliances work against the air conditioner by
introducing heat into the space.
• Close window curtains and blinds to keep direct sunlight out
• Close doors and windows
• Keep ovens and stoves off
• Turn off unused lights
• Add weather stripping around windows and doors
Keep the air filter clean
Regular cleaning will help keep your air conditioner working properly. Dusty filters and vents greatly reduce the
airflow and efficiency of the unit.
• Clean the washable pre-filter regularly
• Replace the activated carbon filter every 2-3 weeks depending on use
• Vacuum any accumulated dust from around all vents
