3. User FAQs

Based on the search data of the entire network in the past 10 days, we have compiled several issues that users are most concerned about:

1. Why did the heating effect of central air conditioning work well at first, but then deteriorated?

This is usually caused by the filter gradually becoming clogged. As the use time increases, dust accumulation on the filter will hinder air circulation. It is recommended to clean the filter regularly.

2. How much impact does outdoor temperature have on central air conditioning heating?

The heating efficiency of most central air conditioners will drop significantly when the outdoor temperature is below -5°C, and some models may not work at all below -10°C. This is a normal phenomenon determined by the working principle of the air conditioner.

3. How to determine whether to add refrigerant?

If the heating effect of the air conditioner is significantly reduced, and the filter problem is eliminated, and uneven frosting is observed on the outdoor unit, it is likely that the refrigerant needs to be replenished, and it is recommended to contact a professional for testing.

4. Maintenance suggestions

In order to ensure that the central air conditioner maintains good heating performance for a long time, it is recommended to take the following maintenance measures:

maintenance itemsRecommended frequencyThings to note
Filter cleaning1 time per monthUse a soft-bristled brush and a mild detergent
System check2 times a yearWhen the season changes, it is best to be operated by professionals
Pipeline inspection1 time per yearCheck for leaks or blockages
Circuit checkOnce every 2 yearsEnsure electrical connections are safe and reliable

5. Purchase suggestions

For users who are preparing to buy a new air conditioner, we have compiled the following suggestions based on evaluation data from the entire network:

1. Choose a model suitable for local climate conditions. In cold areas, models with auxiliary electric heating function should be considered.

2. Pay attention to the energy efficiency ratio. Although the first-level energy efficiency models are more expensive, they are more energy-saving in long-term use.

3. Consider the brand’s after-sales service network and choose a brand with complete service outlets in the local area.

4. Choose the appropriate power according to the room area. If the power is too small, it will lead to insufficient heating.

Through the above analysis and suggestions, we hope to help users better understand and solve the problem of central air conditioners not heating up. If the problem is complex or difficult to solve by yourself, it is recommended to contact professional maintenance personnel in time to ensure the safe and efficient operation of the air conditioning system.
