What is the 3 minute rule for AC?
The '3-minute rule' for AC systems is about protecting the compressor. It advises against turning the AC on and off repeatedly in short intervals. The compressor needs a few minutes to equalize pressure after shutting down. Short cycling can lead to serious damage and reduce the system's lifespan. Allowing full cycles is best.
