Temperatures in the Philippines and the Gulf are hitting 40°C and beyond this summer, putting extreme pressure on your air conditioning system. Without proper management, your AC could overheat, overwork, and even fail when you need it most. Here’s how to keep your unit running efficiently, even in peak heat.
🔧 1. Use Your Inverter AC the Smart Way
Modern inverter and dual inverter aircons adjust automatically to room temperature—but they still need help in high heat. Set the temperature to 24–26°C, use fan mode during cooler hours, and avoid dropping below 20°C for long periods.
🧼 2. Clean Filters Weekly
Dust buildup makes your unit work harder. Clean your indoor filters every 7 days and ensure your outdoor unit is free from debris. This reduces compressor strain.
🧊 3. Give It Breaks—Use a Timer
Don’t run your unit non-stop 24/7. Use a timer or smart plug to give your AC short breaks during low-demand hours (like early morning). It helps prevent overheating and prolongs lifespan.
🌀 4. Support with Fans & Curtains
Use ceiling or stand fans to distribute cold air more evenly, and close blinds/curtains to block out direct sunlight. Your AC won’t need to work as hard.
🛠 5. Schedule a Mid-Summer Tune-Up
High heat can expose underlying issues like low refrigerant, overloaded capacitors, or a failing compressor. Have a certified technician from Mr. Aircon Philippines check your unit now—before the real damage begins.
🚨 Watch Out for Warning Signs:
-
Unusual noise or vibration
-
Warm air coming out despite settings
-
Unit shutting off unexpectedly
-
Outdoor fan not spinning
If you spot any of these, call a pro ASAP.
🧊 Final Tip: Let Your Aircon Breathe
Place your outdoor unit where it can get airflow. Don’t box it in or cover it—even during the hottest days. Heat buildup outside can cause your compressor to overheat and fail.
