1. 5 Ways to Use Air Conditioning Efficiently and Save Electricity
Set your air conditioner to around 25-26 degrees Celsius, utilize energy-saving features, and install the outdoor unit in an appropriate location to avoid excessive energy consumption.
Set the appropriate temperature
The ideal room temperature for human comfort is around 25 - 26 degrees Celsius. Therefore, for cooling purposes, there's no need to set the temperature too low. Setting it too low will cause the air conditioner's compressor to work at full capacity to compensate for the high temperature difference between indoors and outdoors, consuming more electricity and reducing the lifespan of the air conditioner. Moreover, sudden changes in temperature between two environments with a high temperature difference are not good for the health of users.
Use energy-saving mode on the air conditioner
Many air conditioner models come with energy-saving modes. For example, the Econo mode on Daikin air conditioners helps limit electricity consumption to the maximum extent. This mode is particularly effective when the unit has a high load demand, such as when it's just turned on, the room is crowded, or exposed to sunlight for a long time. Additionally, the Econo mode on Daikin air conditioners also helps prevent overload circuit breakers, saving electricity and extending the lifespan of the unit.
Another mode that helps save electricity is Quiet mode. This mode reduces the operating power of the compressor to optimize electricity savings while providing a quiet operation for the outdoor unit. For example, the FTKM (Daikin) unit, when both Fan and Quiet modes are activated, produces only 19 dB of noise, as light as a falling leaf. Users should use Quiet mode at night when the weather is cooler.
Alternatively, you can choose models with smart eye features. This feature operates based on infrared sensors, automatically detecting movements of people in the room. If no movement is detected within 20 minutes, the unit will automatically increase the temperature by 2 degrees Celsius. When people return to the room, the unit will automatically decrease 2 degrees Celsius to the initial set temperature. This is a very smart feature that helps you save more electricity.
Smart eye features operate based on infrared sensors, automatically detecting movements of people in the room to adjust the machine's temperature accordingly.
