Air conditioner failures, which are important for heat stroke countermeasures, can be life-threatening.
In many cases, you will notice a malfunction after you start using it when it gets hot, so it is necessary to perform a test run as soon as possible.
According to the Tokyo Medical Examiner's Office, 187 people died of heat stroke indoors in the 23 wards of Tokyo last summer, of which 22 people, or 10%, had air conditioners out of order.
Also, when Daikin Industries, a major air-conditioning manufacturer, asked 165 people who experienced air-conditioning failures last year when they noticed the problem, about 70% said, "Since summer started using air-conditioning." I answered.
According to the consumer electronics associations made by manufacturers, July is the busiest time for air conditioner repairs and installation work, and in some cases it may take several weeks to respond.
For this reason, it is necessary to prepare for heat stroke by conducting a test run as soon as possible, checking if the air conditioner is out of order, and requesting repair if there is a problem.
At the time of trial run, the Home Appliances Association, etc. wants you to run for 10 minutes at the lowest temperature of the air conditioner, check if cold air comes out, and then check if the operation continues normally for another 30 minutes without water leakage or offensive odor. I'm calling.
Detailed inspection methods are published on the website of each manufacturer.
