I wonder if everyone has the same feeling. The air conditioner I haven’t used for a long time is a musty smell? "Big Chinese flavor"? This taste is so stunning! The air conditioner is cleaned but never washes, which seems to be fine. After waiting for a long time, it is dirty and power-consuming. It can be used safely and safely after cleaning every season.
Let’s first analyze why the air conditioner at home has a odor turned on:
① Think carefully about how long has the air conditioner been cleaned in your home?
The air conditioner is used for a long time, and the filter is covered with dust. After a long time, the dust cannot be cleaned, and the air conditioner will be turned on. Especially in summer and winter, when using air conditioners frequently, it doesn’t mean how dirty it is. At least it will be used after cleaning, saving electricity and without any odor. In addition to indoor units, if there is too much dust in outdoor units, it will also affect the cooling and heating effect of the air conditioner, so cleaning the air conditioner is really not useless.
→ Regularly clean and replace the indoor unit filter, and regularly wipe the air conditioner outlets of the air conditioner regularly when using the air conditioner. If you don’t know how to dismantle it yourself, please ask a professional to help. Also, when turning on the air conditioner, the dust inside will blow out with the wind. Don’t close the windows to cool down immediately. Indoor air circulation is also very important.
②Internal condensate water is not discharged, breeding bacterial odor
Sun air conditioner is refrigerated, and there is air conditioner condensate that is not discharged inside. Over time, bacteria will also breed.
→You can use the air conditioner's own dehumidification function to maintain the dry environment inside the air conditioner.
③Are the drain pipe connected incorrectly?
Another situation is that you can observe whether the drain pipe during the installation of the air conditioner was connected to the sewer? The strange smell of various sewer pipes must have gone to my home.
→You can install an check valve to the drain pipe of the indoor unit to prevent backwards of odors and make it cleaner and hygienic to use.
④If the newly purchased air conditioner at home has a odor when used, you don’t have to worry for the time being, because the new air conditioner has just turned on, the interior of the indoor unit will expand and contract, with a plastic smell or a potion smell. After using it for a period of time, it will naturally be better.
It is the season of changing seasons. If you don’t wash it once, you won’t know that the air conditioner is so dirty. In addition to regularly cleaning and maintaining the air conditioner, you can cover the indoor unit with a dust curtain when the air conditioner is not in use to avoid dust falling. It doesn’t mean it is too dirty, at least there will be no odor next time you use it, and it also saves electricity. However, if you don’t know how to clean it yourself, it’s better to leave the professional work of dismantling the air conditioner to professionals.
