"Window-type air-conditioners should also have proper drainage to avoid dripping," the spokesman added.
He stressed that proper maintenance and regular inspection were important to ensure that the machine functioned properly.
Under the Public Health and Municipal Services Ordinance, it is an offence to let an air-conditioning unit drip or emit hot air in such a manner as to be a nuisance.
"Offenders may be fined up to $10,000," the spokesman said.
Publicity materials like advisory letters, posters and leaflets will be widely distributed to estate management companies of established private housing estates, shopping arcades, commercial and industrial buildings, Owners Incorporations, Mutual Aid Committees, suppliers and distributors of air-conditioners.
Television and radio announcements will be broadcast to arouse public concern on the issue.
Members of the public may also seek advice or assistance from their respective district environmental hygiene offices of the Urban Services or Regional Services Departments.
