Air conditioner seems to run too much| The current air conditioner replaced an older model. The use of more etticient components may cause the air conditioner to run longer than an older model, but the total energy consumption will be less. Newer air conditioner do not emit the “blast” of cold air you may be accustomed to from older air conditioners, but this is not an indication of lesser cooling capacity or ef- ficiency. Refer to the efficiency rating (EER) and capacity rating (in Btu/h) marked on the air conditioner.

The air conditioner is in a heavily occupied room, or heat producing appliances are in use in the room. Use exhaust vent fans while cooking or bathing and try not to use heat producing appliances during the hottest part of the day. A higher capacity air conditioner may be required, depending on the size of the room being cooled.
