Air conditioners are essential items during the hot summer months. However, when installing an air conditioner, there are certain positions to avoid.

Above Wooden Furniture

It is not advisable to install the air conditioner above wooden furniture as wood does not fare well with moisture. When cold air from the air conditioner directly hits the wood, it can cause the wood to degrade quickly, resulting in dampness, rotting, and decay, which would eventually require replacement. Therefore, it’s important to move the wooden furniture to another corner before installing the air conditioner.

Above the Bed

Many people prefer to install an air conditioner in the bedroom because it is the place where we rest after a long, tiring day. There’s nothing wrong with placing the air conditioner above the bed, but the cold air blowing directly onto your body, especially your head, may feel refreshing at first, but the consequences can be harmful in the long term.

Prolonged exposure to the cold air from the air conditioner may cause respiratory illnesses and even heatstroke. Moreover, from a feng shui perspective, placing the air conditioner directly above the bed can create an uneasy feeling, making it harder to sleep soundly. This can negatively affect your mental state and impact your luck.

In an effort to be closer to nature, many people place a few green plants in every room. However, it is better to remove the plants from a room with an air conditioner. Plants typically thrive thanks to water, humidity, and sunlight. If the air conditioner is running, it will dry out the plants, causing them to wilt and attract bacteria, which in turn can harm your health.

In the Kitchen

In extremely hot weather, cooking in the kitchen with the heat from the stove and the oil can be exhausting. Therefore, many families with air conditioners don’t hesitate to buy one for the kitchen. While this may solve the immediate problem, it can cause more harm in the long term. The air conditioner may interfere with the heat from the stove and could easily cause a fire. Moreover, from a feng shui standpoint, this setup is not ideal
