Room air conditioner installation and operation tips

Following these tips will make installation and operation of your room air conditioner quick and easy.

• Be sure the power outlet is within reach of the plug and is the correct amperage size.

• Make sure the air conditioner is level side to side and tilted back slightly to prevent water leaks into the house.

• Don’t put furniture or other objects that that could block air circulation near the air conditioner.

• Set the thermostat as warm as is comfortable for you. Warmer settings achieve greater energy savings.

• On humid days, set the fan speed on low; the slower air movement removes more moisture from the air.

• Use an extra floor, table or ceiling fan to spread the cooled air around.
