Therefore, it is necessary to set the fan power to the minimum value. This will not make the room warmer, but the cold draft will disappear.
Arriving from the street, you should not immediately go into the room where the air conditioner is working, it is best to wait a few minutes in the next one, away from the draft. A hot body plus clothes damp with sweat is a great way to earn, if not a sore throat, then neuralgia or sciatica.
You should also avoid air conditioning after an intense workout or a hot shower.
It is necessary to wash the conditioner from time to time. Its filters accumulate not only dust, but also pathogens, the most dangerous of which is legionella.

If you come from a hot street and the air conditioner is not turned on, you should not immediately turn it on at full power, setting the temperature to 16. It is best to set the temperature to 24 degrees and lower it gradually.
Do not sit directly under a running air conditioner. Even if you do not feel discomfort from the cold air, after some time you may be in for an unpleasant surprise in the form of a runny nose or pain in your back and neck.
From time to time, it is necessary to ventilate the room. The air conditioner dries the air, which in turn causes drying of the mucous membranes and a decrease in local immunity, which increases the risk of getting sick. In addition, indoors with stagnant air actively multiply bacteria and viruses.
All these simple ways will permit to enjoy all the benefits of air conditioners and at the same time avoid hypothermia and colds.
