The month of June is about to end and with the arrival of monsoon the weather is changing rapidly. In this changing weather, while there is scorching sun and heat in the morning, by afternoon or evening it starts raining heavily. Amidst these changing weather patterns, the air conditioner (AC) installed in your room also gets confused.
Most of us, at the beginning of summer, pick up the remote of the AC and set it to ‘Cool Mode’ and then do not even touch it for the entire season. But when there is sometimes bright sunshine and sometimes heavy rain outside, the traditional cool mode completely fails to make your room comfortable. In such a situation, in almost all modern split and window ACs of today, a very sensible ‘Auto Mode’ It is given, which itself takes the entire burden of your mind.
How does ‘Auto Mode’ of AC work behind the scenes?
AC’s auto mode is not a simple or fixed setting, rather it works like an intelligent and smart sensor system. It continuously monitors the indoor temperature and humidity of your room.
-
In dry heat: When it is hot, harsh and dry outside, this sensor activates the compressor to instantly increase cooling.
-
In rainy season: As soon as it starts raining outside and the air starts getting heavy, this mode silently converts itself into ‘Dry Mode’ without your help. This means you do not have to worry about changing settings by repeatedly pressing buttons on the remote.
Will reduce the shock of electricity bill, will give longer life to the compressor.
Often, the biggest problem with running AC on cool mode is that the room becomes excessively cool (over-cooling), due to which you suddenly wake up at night. Cool mode only looks at the temperature you set (eg 24°C) and constantly pressures the compressor to achieve it, which consumes a lot of power.
In contrast, Auto mode intelligently slows down or cuts off the compressor once the room reaches a perfect and comfortable temperature. Due to this, the compressor does not have to be overdriven again and again, the electricity bill is significantly reduced and the life of the AC also increases.
Best treatment for stickiness and humidity of monsoon
The real problem during rainy days is not the temperature, but the stickiness in the air i.e. humidity. In such weather, the room is not very hot, but still the body sweats and there is a strange feeling of restlessness. If you run cool mode in this situation, the room will become so icy that you will have to cover yourself with a blanket even in the month of July, but the humidity will still not go away.
Auto mode detects this trick immediately. It absorbs excess water and humidity from the air without cooling the room too much. The result is that you get a dry and optimal cooling feeling without any stickiness.
So should the AC be kept on ‘Auto Mode’ throughout the season?
The simple and practical answer to this is- Yes, of course! The weather in India is very unpredictable between June and September. The scorching sunlight in the morning turns into monsoon showers by evening. Auto mode eliminates all this tension permanently.
You should run the AC on manual or cool mode only when there is a severe heat wave of 45 degrees outside and you are tired from office or outside and want to cool the room immediately. After that it makes the most sense to put it back on auto mode. This mode also protects you from cold, cough and sore throat caused by changing weather by keeping the temperature of the room balanced. So what are you waiting for, pick up the remote of your AC today, press the ‘Auto’ button and be worry-free.
