5 major hazards of not cleaning the air conditioner

The weather is hot in the summer. Staying in such hot weather for a long time will cause people to suffer from some diseases, especially families with babies. They are particularly worried that their babies will suffer from heatstroke or prickly heat in the summer. Therefore, many families will install air conditioners to relieve the hot weather in the summer. Although air conditioning can relieve the hot weather, not cleaning the air conditioner or using it for a long time will cause harm to the human body.

The harm of not cleaning the air conditioner for a long time:

1. It costs money to consume electricity

It will increase electricity loss and power consumption will probably increase by 30%.

2. Impact on refrigeration

The deterioration of cooling effect is not entirely due to Freon, it may be that the air conditioner needs cleaning!

3. Breeding of bacteria

There will always be a strange smell when the air conditioner is turned on. If the air conditioner is not cleaned for a long time, various bacteria will breed inside, endangering the health of your family.

4. Generate noise

If the air conditioner is not cleaned for a long time, it will make a harsh noise after being turned on for a period of time, affecting your family's rest.

5. Reduce lifespan

As the amount of dust inside the air conditioner increases, the internal parts will wear out during use, accelerating the aging of the air conditioner and shortening its life.

The harm of long-term use of air conditioner for babies

Susceptibility to pneumonia

Reason: Because babies have less subcutaneous fat, abundant capillaries, and their body temperature regulation center is not yet fully developed, babies can clearly feel the temperature difference that adults cannot feel. In the cold air environment of an air-conditioned room, the baby's capillaries contract, the sweat gland pores close, the sympathetic nerves become excited, the visceral blood vessels contract, the gastrointestinal motility weakens, the resistance weakens, and various bacteria and molds grow and multiply in the air conditioner and the air is polluted, so the baby is very likely to get pneumonia.

Recommendation: Giving children more fruits and vegetables and drinking more boiled water in summer can also enhance their body immunity. If you can often boil water with honeysuckle, chrysanthemum, etc. and drink it as tea, it can also play a role in clearing away heat and detoxifying and preventing bacterial invasion.

Damage to joints

Reason: Many parents do not realize the harm that long-term use of air conditioning can cause to their babies, especially the young and strong ones. Little do people know that cold air can cause great damage to children's joints. If they do not keep warm, children are likely to suffer from arthritis, which will be difficult to treat.

Recommendation: For children who live in air-conditioned rooms for a long time, parents should ensure that they have a certain amount of sunshine every day, and do appropriate outdoor exercises when the temperature is not high in the morning and evening to enhance their physical fitness.

Susceptible to air conditioning disease

Cause: Air-conditioning disease is mainly a health problem caused by the low temperature of the air conditioner and the pollution of the indoor environment. The most common symptoms are nasal congestion, nasal itching, colds, tearing, etc., and some are also accompanied by fever, diarrhea, cough and other symptoms. Severe cases may develop into pneumonia. If the baby stays in an air-conditioned room for a long time, and the baby's immunity is poor, air-conditioning disease will easily harm the baby's health.

Recommendation: When sweating a lot outdoors, you should wait until the sweat has subsided appropriately before turning on the air conditioner. Before turning on the air conditioner, wipe off the sweat on the child's body and change into dry clothes. Never just stand under the air vent of the air conditioner to keep cool temporarily.
