What's the deal with the 3-minute rule for air conditioners?
The '3-minute rule' for air conditioners advises against cycling the unit on and off too rapidly. This means waiting at least three minutes after turning the AC off before turning it back on. Rapid cycling can strain the compressor, which is the heart of your cooling system. Allowing this waiting period helps prevent premature wear and tear on the equipment.
