Placing the air conditioner outdoors on the balcony, on the roof: 5 things to note

NGUYỄN LY |

Many families place air conditioning units outside balconies or on rooftops to save space. However, if not arranged correctly, many inadequacies may arise.

First, the hot knife must be placed in a ventilated place. The hot knife needs to suck air and blow hot air out. Therefore, the machine should not be placed too close to the wall, glass door or covered by furniture. In particular, a frame should not be made to seal the surroundings of the hot knife.

Second, if placed on a roof, there should be a canopy. Direct sunlight causes the temperature around the hot spot to rise, the machine has to work harder. You can make a canopy on top to reduce sun and rain, but do not enclose all four sides.

Third, do not let many hot units blow hot air onto each other. This is a common error in houses with many air-conditioned rooms. If the hot units are placed too close to each other, the heat of one machine may be sucked back by another machine, reducing the cooling effect.

Fourth, place the machine on a solid platform. The hot knob needs to be firmly fixed, balanced and able to withstand weight and vibration when the machine is operating. For the position on the roof, special attention should be paid to the durability of the support.

Thursday, don't forget to clean periodically. Dirt clinging to the heating system can hinder heat exchange. At that time, the air conditioner must operate longer to reach the desired temperature, which means consuming more electricity.

According to experts, good ventilation and limiting the impact of heat directly on the hot unit are important factors to help the device operate more efficiently.

Therefore, if your hot spot is placed outside the balcony or on the roof, immediately check three points: is it covered, can the heat escape, and is the machine placed securely. Just arrange it correctly, the air conditioner will have stable and more durable operating conditions.
