3. Clean it regularly.
Dust and bacteria build up over time, so cleaning the unit regularly is essential for both efficiency and health.
4. Avoid running it nonstop.
Even on very hot days, resist the urge to keep the air conditioner on 24/7. With windows closed, stale air and bacteria can accumulate. Instead, switch it off at night when it’s cooler, open windows to let in fresh air, or use a fan to keep the air circulating.

Next time summer heat sets in, try sticking Urgo patches infused with essential oils onto your air conditioner. It’s a simple, inexpensive way to make your room cooler, fresher, and healthier—while following a few basic rules for safe and efficient air conditioning.
