AC Tips: Should AC be covered in winter or not? You must know this or else you may face problems

This year, there has been record heat in the country. Due to this, ACs were sold on a large scale in the summer season. People used AC a lot to get relief from the heat. However, the summer season is now over and winter is knocking. Mild cold is now being felt. We do not need AC in the winter season. Due to this, many people pack the ACs installed in the house.

It is often seen that many people pack the split unit of AC, but do not pack the outdoor unit outside. However, people often ask whether AC should be covered in winter or not? Let's know -

If you cover your split AC incorrectly in the winter season, it can get damaged. Whether you have to cover your AC or not depends on the weather around you.

If you pack the AC, it can create problems for you. Packing the AC can cause rust in it. If it rains or hails in the winter season, you should not cover the AC.

Many people cover the AC with the help of polythene. You should know that by doing this, moisture can enter the AC. This puts it at risk of rusting. Apart from this, many times, by packing it in the wrong way, rainwater enters it and it cannot come out. This causes rust in the AC.

By packing the AC, small creatures like rats can make their home in it. This can cause many problems in your AC. If you want to cover the AC, then you should use only the cover provided by the company.
