Abstract: An operation mode selection image represents a first selection range of values of power consumption setting that are selectable in a first mode at the time of purchase of an air conditioner, a second selection range values of power consumption setting that are selectable in the first mode at a current time, a third selection range values of power consumption setting that are selectable in a second mode at the time of purchase of the air conditioner, and a fourth selection range values of power consumption setting that are selectable in the second mode at the current time. The relationship between the sizes of the first and second selection ranges and the relationship between the sizes of the third and fourth selection ranges represent a degree of decrease in the performance of the air conditioner over the period from the time of purchase to the current time.

Abstract: An information notification method for use in an information notification system connected to an air conditioner including a refrigerant circuit and an information communication apparatus includes detecting a connection state indicating whether the air conditioner is connected to a network, determining whether the air conditioner performed a refrigerant recovery operation on the refrigerant circuit on the basis of the operation log information that indicates an operation log of the air conditioner and that is received from the air conditioner, determining whether the air conditioner has been relocated on the basis of the detected connection state and the determination as to whether the air conditioner performed the refrigerant recovery operation, and sending, to the information communication apparatus, first information used to prompt for a test operation of the air conditioner if it is determined that the air conditioner has been relocated.
