What is the '3-minute rule' for AC units?
The '3-minute rule' for AC units suggests you shouldn't turn your system on and off repeatedly within a short timeframe. This is because the compressor needs time to equalize pressure. Cycling the unit too quickly can strain the compressor and lead to damage. Allow at least three minutes between cycles. This protects your equipment.
