ACs consume a lot of energy to cool down warm rooms. Allowing the room to naturally cool slightly before turning on the AC reduces energy consumption.

Abruptly lowering the temperature can be uncomfortable and cause cold & cough, especially after being outdoors in the heat. Gradually adjusting to a cooler indoor environment is more comfortable for occupants.

ACs dehumidify the air along with cooling. Allowing the room temperature to stabilize before switching on the AC helps maintain optimal humidity levels. humidity can cause dryness which can lead to eye irritation throat and nose dryness.

Starting the AC when the room is very hot can strain components like the compressor, potentially shortening the unit's lifespan. Gradual cooling reduces this strain.

In summary, waiting a few minutes before using the AC enhances cooling efficiency, saves energy, improves comfort, and prolongs the AC's lifespan.
