Different AC modes and what they mean - Croma Unboxed (3)

Understanding the various modes on your AC can help you save energy and lower your bills while also offering a more comfortable cooling experience. The four main modes on mostair conditioners are heat, cool, auto, and fan. Each of these modes have their individual characteristics, and through this guide, we will explain what each mode means and how it can benefit you.

Understanding all AC modes

Cool mode:This is the most common and usually the default setting when you first turn on the AC. This mode sends cool air throughout your room and is great for cooling down an area after a long, hot day. When using cool mode, be sure to set an appropriate temperature setting to optimize your energy savings. Temperatures should generally be set between around 24 degrees Celsius to maximize efficiency and minimize costs.

Fan mode:In fan mode, your air conditioner will circulate air in your home without changing the temperature. This is useful when you want to just keep the air circulating without running the compressor and using energy unnecessarily. In this mode, the AC will draw outside air into your home and pass it through its cooling coils. This will help to remove any stagnant air from your rooms and ensure that fresh oxygen circulates throughout.

Dry mode:This mode isn’t found on all ACs, but if you have it, know that it is designed to reduce the amount of humidity and moisture in the air while also cooling it. When you activate dry mode, the fan on your AC is set to a higher speed, which helps circulate and draw moisture out of the air. Dry mode is especially useful during humid seasons such as summertime, when you may find yourself fighting against high levels of humidity in your home.

Eco or energy-saving mode:In case the name doesn’t already give this one away, the eco-mode or energy-saving mode is designed to use less power. This is the ideal mode for users looking to save up on energy bills by toning down the performance of the AC and its compressor. Eco-mode uses less electricity by automatically adjusting the fan speed and temperature, while still maintaining a comfortable level of cooling.

Eco mode also helps to extend the lifespan of your AC unit by reducing wear and tear on the compressor and other components. Since eco mode runs for longer periods of time and at lower speeds, it reduces overall strain on the AC, which could mean fewer repairs over the years.

However, just reducing the strain on one’s AC doesn’t suffice at times. One also has to bear in mind how their ACs, like all other electronics, may be prone to certain manufacturing defects. Therefore, to protect oneself against burning a hole too deep in their pockets to get the same rectified, consider investing in an extended warranty plan. This is where Croma’s ZipCare Protect Advanced plans for ACs step in, guaranteeing any repairs or replacements arising from a manufacturing defect in the AC, free of cost.

FAQs

What do different modes in AC mean? ›

The four main modes on most air conditioners are heat, cool, auto, and fan. Each of these modes have their individual characteristics, and through this guide, we will explain what each mode means and how it can benefit you.

Which mode is coldest in AC? ›

The turbo mode is the most powerful. It's for absolute quick cooling. It allows users to cool a room quickly and effectively by operating at a span of 30 minutes before switching back to the previous settings.

What do the symbols on my air conditioner remote mean? ›

The Sun: used for warm air or heat mode. The Snowflake: used for cold air or cool mode. The Raindrop: used for dry mode. This should be used when the conditions are humid, and temperatures are mild. The Arrows: usually means automatic mode.

What are the settings on the air conditioner? ›

A fan in an air conditioner discharges cool or warm air into a space. You can control the speed at which you want to cool or heat by adjusting the fan speed; most ACs have four settings: low, medium, high, and auto.

Should I put my AC on auto or cool? ›

Keeping your fan on AUTO is the most energy-efficient option. The fan only runs when the system is on and not continuously. There is better dehumidification in your home during the summer months. When your fan is set to AUTO, moisture from cold cooling coils can drip and be drained outside.

What is the best mode to run the AC? ›

The ideal mode for your air conditioner is to select either heating or cooling mode, not auto mode. We don't recommend using the “auto mode” in residential applications as there is potential for your system to switch between heating and cooling during the same operating mode.
