Tips to Save Energy with Your Air Conditioner
Small changes that lower your electric bill without sacrificing comfort.
- Set the thermostat between 24 and 25 degrees Celsius; every degree colder noticeably increases consumption.
- Clean or replace filters monthly; a dirty filter forces the unit to work harder.
- Keep doors and windows closed while the unit is running.
- Use curtains or blinds to block direct sun during the day.
- Don't block vents with furniture or curtains.
- Get preventive maintenance at least twice a year.
- Consider an Inverter unit if you use it many hours a day.
- Use a timer or programmable thermostat to turn off the unit when you don't need it.
- Seal air leaks around doors and windows.
