There is a three day heatwave warning here. Our old IFB is working like a powehouse. (Installed in 2019)

Sadly Daikin has flopped.

Samsung and carrier are also able to cool room in 42 degree. (Used sparingly)

Our s is top floor so they all are working overtime. I regularly clean the filters fortnightly.

❄️ Split AC Installation:

> A quick, friendly guide to make sure your cool air stays cool — and your walls stay dry.

🏠 1. Indoor Unit – The Beauty in the Room

• Level and loving
  Give it a gentle push. No wobble, no tilt?
  Pro tip: A slight slant toward the drain side is actually correct.

• Snug to the wall
  No light peeking through the back.

• Flaps move freely
  Louvers swing smooth, no scraping sounds.

• Filters within reach
  Pop the front panel – filters slide out easily.

🌬️ 2. Outdoor Unit – The Hardworking Heart

• Rock-steady base
  Rubber pads or a solid bracket. Try to rock it – nothing moves.

• Room to breathe
  At least 12 inches behind and sides, 3–6 feet in front.

• No oily kisses
  Copper pipe connections look dry? No oily stains?
  (Oil equals possible leak)

💧 3. Condensate Drain – The Silent Lifesaver

(Most common hidden problem)

• The water test (do this with unit off)
  Pour a small cup of water into the indoor fins.
  Plus: See water flowing out the outdoor drain pipe within 10 seconds?

• No drips, no drama
  Check indoor unit corners – bone dry.

• Downhill only
  Drain hose slopes continuously – no loops or uphill dips.

⚡ 4. Electrical and Safety – The Quiet Guardian

• Its own circuit
  Dedicated breaker (not sharing with a fridge or geyser).

• No naked copper
  Cables have sheathing, nothing wrapped in tape.

• Outdoor isolator switch
  Within arm's reach of the outdoor unit.

🧊 5. Performance Check – The "Ahhh" Moment

• Cold air test
  Set to 18°C or 64°F, fan high. After 15 minutes:
  Air at the vent feels properly cold (about 10–15°C difference from room temp).

• No frost monsters
  After 20 minutes, the big copper pipe outside is cold and sweaty – not iced up.

• Silence is golden
  Power off, listen near outdoor unit. No hissing sound.

📋 6. Paperwork and Goodbye Gifts

• Remote and manual in hand
• Warranty card signed and dated
• No trash left behind (copper bits, plastic scraps, screws)

🚨 Red Flags – Call Them Back Immediately

✨ Final warm thought

> A great AC installation is invisible:
> You only feel the cool air, never the work behind it.

Enjoy your perfectly installed split AC — and your beautifully chilled room. 😎❄️.

​

We’ve all been there. One person in the house is wrapped in a blanket like it’s winter, and the other is sitting there in shorts saying, “It’s still too warm.” So what’s the actual right number to set your air conditioner to?

After looking at what energy experts and HVAC technicians actually recommend, the answer is pretty consistent: 24°C is your sweet spot when you’re at home and awake.

Let me explain why—and when you should break the rule.

Why 24°C Just Works

At 24°C, most people feel comfortable. Not too cold, not too warm. More importantly, it’s cool enough to pull humidity out of the air (that sticky, heavy feeling is usually the real problem, not the heat itself). And here’s the kicker: every degree you go below 24°C bumps up your electricity bill by roughly 8%. So dropping to 20°C feels nice for about ten minutes, then your wallet starts sweating.

For Sleeping: 23°C to 25°C

Your body naturally cools down when you sleep. If your room is too cold—say, below 22°C—you might wake up with a stiff neck or a dry throat. Too warm, and you’ll toss and turn. Most people sleep best somewhere between 23°C and 25°C. Try starting at 24°C and adjust by one degree from there.

When You’re Out: 28°C to 30°C

A lot of people turn the AC off completely when they leave. Don’t. The humidity will build up inside your home, and that’s how you end up with musty smells or even mold. Instead, set it to around 28–30°C. It won’t run much, but it’ll keep the dampness away and save you energy.

Who Might Need It Cooler?

· Older folks and babies don’t regulate heat as well. For them, 23°C is safer, especially during a heatwave.

· If you work from home and your PC or laptop turns your desk into a furnace, you might want 22–23°C just to stay functional.

When It’s Actually Too Cold

Look, setting your AC to 18°C feels amazing for the first three minutes after walking in from outside. But keeping it there? Not great. Cold air dries out your sinuses (hello, sore throat), can make your muscles feel tight, and honestly, your electricity bill will be painful. It’s just not worth it.

One Simple Trick Before You Turn It Down

If you’re sitting at 24°C and still feel warm, don’t touch the thermostat. Turn on a ceiling fan or a standing fan instead. The moving air makes you feel about 3–4°C cooler without changing the actual temperature. You stay comfortable, and your AC doesn’t have to work harder. That’s a win-win.

Bottom Line

· Home and awake: 24°C

· Sleeping: 24–25°C

· Out of the house: 28–30°C

Set it, forget it, and stop fighting over the remote. Your body and your electricity bill, will thank you.

Received Below message in my Society group, sharing here for refrence:-

Following requests from several residents of our societies, Shri J.J. Singh, President , RWA 48 approached the SHO of Sector 49, Chandigarh, to facilitate a discussion with the transgender community.

Accordingly, a meeting was convened today at the Police Station, Sector 49, Chandigarh, attended by approximately 8–9 representatives from the transgender community (from Sectors 48, 49, and 50–51) and representatives from the resident welfare associations/societies.

During the meeting, Shri J.J. Singh and others shared some of the unpleasant experiences reported by residents in their interactions with members of the transgender community. After open and constructive discussions, a mutual understanding was reached between both parties:

-The maximum amount requested during occasions will be limited to ₹11,000, taking into account the financial circumstances of the resident/family.

-If any resident voluntarily chooses to contribute a higher amount, it is welcomed and appreciated, as members of the transgender community are an integral part of our broader society, and such collections remain a primary source of livelihood for many.

-All interactions should be conducted peacefully and respectfully, ensuring harmony for everyone involved.
