A. What is a timer on an AC?

Before we dive into the process of turning off the timer on your AC unit, it’s important to understand what a timer is and how it functions. In simplest terms, a timer on an AC allows you to set a predetermined schedule for when your unit turns on or off.

AC timers are designed to provide convenience and energy efficiency.
