When you get into your new property, or have a brand new unit installed you will find that each air conditioner comes with a number of different possible settings on the remote. We currently attend to at least two call outs per week that are fixed with the correct remote control settings.
The two main things that allow your air conditioner to constantly cool with a set fan speed are your – mode and fan speed buttons. Auto setting is something we try to avoid on remote controls as this tends to cycle the indoor and outdoor units in and out. You will feel like the room is nice and cool one minute, and then be asking yourself if it is on the next.
Mode – We always advise to run on the cool setting as Dry and Auto tend to do the same thing, which is cycle in and out not giving you a constant cooling experience. On some Remotes the Cool setting will be a small icon of an icicle, and on others it will actually say “cool”.
Fan Speed – This gives you the option for low, medium, high and auto. Any setting is fine other than the auto setting as this will give you a continual air flow coming from your air conditioner. So set your desired fan speed by hitting the “fan speed button” until the right fan speed comes up.
If these remote settings are the same as on your remote and your air conditioner still doesn’t seem to be working as well as it should you should check out how to avoid a service call to eliminate the small things before requesting a technician .
