4. Professional maintenance suggestions

1.Regular maintenance:It is recommended to perform professional maintenance every year before use, including cleaning the filter, checking the refrigerant pressure, etc.

2.Temperature settings:When heating, it is recommended to set the temperature between 20-24°C. If it is too high, the efficiency will decrease.

3.Usage environment:Keep the indoor airtight to avoid heat loss; ensure there are no obstructions around the outdoor unit.

4.Emergency treatment:If there is no heating suddenly, you can first try to cut off the power and restart it. If it doesn't work, contact professional maintenance.

5.Brand differences:Different brands of central air conditioners may have different fault codes and solutions. It is recommended to consult the manual.

5. Tips for using central air conditioners in winter

1. Before heating, open the windows for ventilation for 10 minutes to refresh the indoor air.

2. Adjust the air volume to the maximum when it is first turned on, and then adjust it to the appropriate air volume after the temperature rises.

3. Use a humidifier to prevent the air from being too dry.

4. You can lower the temperature appropriately at night and use sleep mode to save energy.

5. When not in use for a long time, it is recommended to start and run the system once a month to prevent the system from freezing.

Through the above analysis and suggestions, we hope to help you solve the problem of central air conditioning not heating. If the problem still cannot be solved, it is recommended to contact professional maintenance personnel in time to avoid further damage caused by self-disassembly.
