A common question is how long an AC can run continuously. Generally, an air conditioner can be used for 8-10 hours continuously. After this period, it should be switched off for a while (1-2 hours). Running an AC continuously puts a lot of pressure on its compressor, increasing the chances of damage or even a potential blast. Additionally, it affects the cooling performance of the AC. If you are unable to switch off the AC after 8-10 hours, you can slightly increase the temperature to reduce the continuous strain on the AC and its compressor.
