The summers have arrived and so is heat and humidity.Many people will opt for air conditioners in office or homes and many already have one.It is important for users to understand the functioning and merits and demerits of split air conditioners and window air conditioners.In fact the meaning of Air Conditioning itself is not clear to majority of laymen users.Only few knowledgeable and technically experienced people know the finer points of air conditioners

1. Avoid Air Conditioners if you can, at least in the home.It will keep you fit and also save heavy power bills.

2. If you must go for an Air Conditioner and you have an outside opening window or wall, then always opt for window air conditioner and not split AC.These are meant mostly for frequently visited isolated spaces like departmental stores,services outlets and doctors clinics.It also consumes more power and split Air Conditioner is costlier.

3. An Air Conditioner should be fitted if possible on higher level and not near floor as it sends cold air which is heavy and moves downwards.

4. The filter pads should be frequently washed,cleaned and sun dried to avoid bacteria accumulations which can at times be very serious for health.

5. Many people have tendency to develop asthmatic coughing and sore throat in air conditioned spaces specially those with heavy curtains and carpets.This is very common disease which is found everywhere and people are not even aware of same. Hence avoid any carpet like thing on floor and keep it plain ceramic or marble flooring that can be washed and kept dry and free of dust.

Cleanness is one of the prevention to away from diseases, there are some Air conditioners companies which provide good A/cs which do not provide any harmful air and clean itself automatically.
 
the above advices were pretty useful. yes i agree that maintaining clean and dust free environment is always better as this prevents various allergic diseases like asthma, rhinitis, sinusitis. and infected persons should avoid using AC rooms as the microbes may infect other people too easily.
 
air conditioners have both pros and cons. they provide us comfort at the same time these harm the environment badly by releasing fluoro carbons which damage the ozone layer. in case air conditioner is being used, care must be taken it pollutes the environment least and it should throw fresh air inside with minimizing microbial contamination of inside air. this would help reduce air born transmitted diseases.
 
Always go for the branded air conditioners as local AC always occupy you with some or the other problem. One should buy the samsung or whirlpool AC as it provides warranty with home service and no issues are being detected so far in their products. It cleans the inner sliding itself and does not need any servicing till 2 season.
 
Air conditioners have now become a need of every one if they can afford they will definitely buy the air conditioner for their rooms. When you go out to purchase air conditioner always see that how many starts the AC is getting. It brings you lot of power saving AC and if it is 5 start power saving then go for it. Power saving is good because it saves power and lower down the electricity bills.
 
I am very much agreed by rekhagupta. People must try to avoid ACs as much as possible. Also, the AC should not be working at a temperature lower than 24.

It is very tough to avoid AC in summers! When you come home from the scorching heat of the sun then you need some peace and sense of relaxation that only come by AC when you are felling hot! Hot season brings a huge sale of AC's in the nation and that too at high rates. People should avoid AC but it is quite impossible to avoid this technology due to many reasons.
 
You can go for standing AC. The popularity of standing AC's are gaining much importance over the split and window AC's. You can buy AC these days in installments as there are various banks that offer good services with less interest rates. You can now buy Ac and other gadgets by paying low down payment and foot the bill in few months. this saves you from over burden of paying cash all at once. People want to buy AC in summer but the high cost involves usually stops them in purchasing the one. But you can buy now on installment.
 
Air conditioners' use is gradually increasing day by day as the number of retail outlets are increasing. At the same time more and more families are getting air conditioners installed. But many fail to realize that though these give you cool air, the air which circulates inside is most of times stale. This is the reason why many of the transmittable diseases get disseminated easily at places where ACs are installed. Nevertheless some AC companies do claim of having better technology to avoid such conditions, but they aren't completely foolproof.
 
Air condition or AC should be purchased from the branded stores as there are many local stores that sells out the low or cheap quality AC to their customers. AC once purchased needs a proper care and time to time maintenance and service. you should always switch on the AC at 25 degrees temperature and set it on a particular mode so that it gets turn off on the specified temp, this in turn saves a lot of electricity.
 
I personally feel that Air conditioners should be avoided because they not only damage the environment and ecosystem around us, but also has negative implications on our health. For example ACs could worsen the state of allergies if one is sitting in a AC Room. There are more chances of acquiring air borne diseases when people are sitting in ACs.
 
I personally feel air conditioners are necessary only for the very hot or very cold climate. To be Eco friendly less usage of AC is the best.
 
The use of Air Conditions are increasing day by day. People use it to avoid the burning heat of summers and use it in offices, homes, cars etc. However, it is advisable that the use of AC should be reduced because it has several adverse effects. It is one of the cause of cancer today and is hampering the natural environment to a great extent. Use of Air condition is another reason for depletion of the Ozone layer in the Universe causing Global Warming. Any new technology comes with adverse effect along with providing luxury and comfort and same is with using AC.
