Reasons why you should not set the air conditioner temperature too low, from 18-20 degrees Celsius

In tropical countries, including Vietnam, many families often use air conditioners to cool down, especially in the summer, the machine almost has to work at full capacity at a relatively low temperature. Scientists warn that air conditioner temperatures in rooms below 25 degrees Celsius can cause many health-related problems such as:

Thermal shock: The air conditioner temperature is too low, creating a large difference compared to the actual temperature. Staying in an air-conditioned environment for a long time can cause thermal shock when going outside. Thermal shock is a phenomenon in which the body cannot adapt to sudden changes in temperature, leading to symptoms such as: dizziness, headache, nausea, fatigue, muscle spasms, low blood pressure, etc.
Rhinitis, pharyngitis: If the air conditioner is directed directly at the nose and throat, it can irritate the mucous membranes and reduce the body's immunity. This makes the body susceptible to infections and inflammation of the upper respiratory tract such as: rhinitis, sinusitis, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, etc.
Pneumonia: If the air conditioner is not cleaned regularly, it can cause the machine to accumulate dirt and bacteria. When the machine is operating, these substances will be released into the air and affect the health of the user.
In addition, setting the air conditioner temperature in the room too low also affects other issues such as:

Energy consumption: The air conditioner has to work harder to maintain a low temperature, leading to increased energy consumption and wasting money.
Air conditioner life: Air conditioners operating continuously at low temperatures can reduce the life of the machine. The internal parts of the machine will wear out faster, leading to the need for repair or replacement sooner.
Environmental impact: Operating the air conditioner at too low a temperature consumes a lot of energy and increases carbon dioxide emissions. This has a negative impact on the environment.

Therefore, you should adjust the air conditioner temperature to 25 - 28 degrees Celsius to suit Vietnam's climate and protect your health. You should also turn off the air conditioner 30 minutes before going out so that your body can gradually adapt to the outside temperature and save electricity. Moreover, you also need to clean the air conditioner periodically to remove dirt and bacteria!
