A Guide: How to Properly Store Your Air Conditioner and Fan for Autumn

As the leaves begin to change colors and the temperature starts to drop, it's time to get your home ready for autumn and winter. One task that might be on your seasonal checklist is storing away your air conditioner or fan. Proper storage ensures these appliances stay in good condition and are ready for use next summer. In this guide, we'll walk you through the best ways to store your air conditioner and fan during the cooler months, helping you extend their lifespan. Before packing away your air conditioner or fan, think about whether storing them is necessary. A top-notch air conditioning unit like the Meaco Cool MC Pro Series offers year-round functionality with features like Cool, Fan, Dry, and Heat. These versatile settings allow the unit to serve as a fan, heater, air conditioner, or even a dehumidifier. Whether you're dealing with humidity in damp months, circulating air in mild but muggy weather, or adding warmth to your room in winter, your air conditioner can be a valuable asset all year round. Still, if you decide to put it away, feel free to skip ahead to learn how to store it properly. Similarly, air circulators like the MeacoFan Sefte® provide excellent benefits throughout the year, especially during winter. They work by circulating warm air from your heaters evenly throughout the room, eliminating cold spots and ensuring a consistent temperature. This not only enhances comfort but also reduces condensation build-up on windows, preventing mold growth and maintaining healthier air quality. Using an air circulator during colder months can also make your heating system more efficient. Discover how you can save hundreds of pounds on laundry costs by combining a fan with a dehumidifier. By circulating warm air, your fan helps reduce the workload on your radiators or heaters, lowering your overall energy consumption and cutting heating costs. Plus, with running costs as low as 0.1p an hour, the MeacoFan Sefte® is incredibly energy-efficient—just 2.4p for a full 24-hour period!

Why Proper Storage Matters Air conditioners and fans are valuable appliances, and taking the time to store them correctly can prevent damage, extend their lifespan, and save you money on replacements or repairs in the long run. Neglecting your appliance during the winter months could lead to issues such as mold growth, rust, or reduced performance. Six Steps to Properly Store Your Air Conditioning Unit 1. Turn Off and Unplug – Before doing anything else, make sure your air conditioner is turned off and unplugged. While this may seem obvious, it's a crucial first step for safety. 2. Clean the Filters – Dirty filters can harbor dust, pollen, and even mold, affecting your air conditioner's performance. Clean the filters by running a vacuum cleaner over them; a soft brush attachment will effectively remove any debris. For a deep clean, gently use a damp cloth. MeacoCool filters are designed to last a lifetime, but skipping this step when storing your air conditioner can lead to them needing replacement. 3. Drain Any Remaining Water – Most air conditioners have a small water tank that collects water when used in Dry mode or during humid conditions. It's important to make sure all the water is fully drained to prevent leaks and mold growth. To drain water from MeacoCool air conditioners, raise the unit and attach a hose to the outlet on the rear of the machine (check out more detailed instructions). Tidy Those Cables – Inspect your air conditioner for a built-in cable tidy. Neatly wind the cables around it to avoid tangling or damage during storage. Cover the Air Conditioner – Once clean and dry, cover the unit with a breathable fabric or plastic sheet. This will protect it from dust, debris, or sun damage in storage. Store in a Cool, Dry Place – Ideally, your air conditioner should be stored indoors in a cool and dry environment. Avoid placing it in areas where it could be exposed to extreme temperatures. Six Steps to Properly Store Your Fan Unplug and Clean – The first step in storing your fan is to unplug it. Then, give it a thorough clean. Wipe down the blades, grill, and stand with a damp cloth. If the grill is detachable like it is on the MeacoFan Sefte® range, you can remove it for easier cleaning. How to Take Apart and Clean Your MeacoFan Sefte®: 1. Put the fan on a flat, clean surface and remove the magnetic remote control from the center. 2. Gently lay the fan on its side. 3. Use a screwdriver to remove the single screw located under the fan head. 4. Rotate the grill anti-clockwise to unlock it, then carefully set it aside on a clean surface. Vacuum the Grill to Remove Dust – Using a soft brush attachment works best for clearing debris. For a deeper clean, wipe the grill with a damp cloth after vacuuming. To access the blades, remove the locking capstop by turning it anti-clockwise. The blades should then slide out for easy cleaning. Regular Cleaning is Important – Dust build-up can reduce a fan’s efficiency and increase noise levels. Keeping it clean ensures optimal performance and whisper-quiet operation. After thoroughly cleaning the fan blades and the interior, carefully slide the blades and the locking cap stop back into place. Secure the grill by aligning it, then turn it clockwise to lock it firmly in position. Don’t forget to put the screw back in place. Once everything is reassembled, your fan is ready for storage.

Keep Manuals Handy – Store the user manual in a safe place, preferably with the appliance, so it’s easy to find when you need it. Inspect Before Use – When you take your air conditioner and fan out of storage next summer, give them a quick inspection to ensure everything is in working order. Register Your Warranty – If you haven’t already, make sure you register your product’s warranty to ensure quick aftercare should you come across a problem. Register your Meaco product. Managing Moisture: Dehumidifying Season As you pack away your cooling products, now is the perfect time to bring out your dehumidifier. With the wetter months approaching, your laundry may take longer to dry, and indoor humidity levels will start to rise. Start using your dehumidifier early; we recommend keeping it on for 24 hours a day with a target relative humidity of 55. This will maintain optimal humidity levels and prevent moisture buildup, which can lead to mold and condensation. Starting early also helps your dehumidifier run more efficiently, as it won’t need to work as hard to reduce the moisture in the air in a couple of months’ time. Keeping your home dry and comfortable is key to maintaining a healthy environment. Properly storing your air conditioner and fan during autumn-winter is an essential step to ensure they remain in top condition for years to come. By following these simple steps, you can avoid potential damage and be confident that your appliances will be ready to keep you cool when the temperatures rise again.
