When purchasing an air conditioner, it's advisable to seek advice from sales staff to make the most suitable choice, helping save electricity consumption while ensuring durability and stable operation of the unit.
Running both the air conditioner and ceiling fan, or a standing fan simultaneously, might give the impression of doubling electricity usage. Surprisingly, this simple yet effective method not only cools the room efficiently but also saves electricity. Combining an air conditioner with an electric fan
When combined, the electric fan enhances air circulation, spreading cool air throughout the room quickly and improving overall comfort. This also means you don't need to set the temperature too low, resulting in less electricity consumption. Moreover, fans consume less electricity than air conditioners, so using both devices together can save a significant amount of energy.
However, it's advisable to use the ceiling fan only for the first 15-20 minutes when starting the air conditioner, then reduce its usage if the room has already cooled down, to avoid unnecessary electricity wastage.
Closing Doors
When using an air conditioner, leaving doors open allows cold air to escape, leading to external temperatures affecting the room temperature. Consequently, the air conditioner will need to work harder and consume a lot more electricity.
Optimize room temperature for energy efficiency
Many people returning home from the hot sun often have the habit of setting the air conditioner to quickly cool down or at a low temperature to immediately enjoy a cool space. However, this inadvertently forces the air conditioner to run at full capacity - consuming a lot of electricity to cool and maintain a low temperature for a long time.
Remember, even a small adjustment can make a big difference in your monthly electricity bill. A temperature range of 25 to 28 degrees Celsius is ideal for air conditioners to operate most efficiently, not consuming too much energy while still maintaining a comfortable and suitable temperature.
Avoid frequently turning on/off the air conditioner
Many people think they can save electricity by turning on the air conditioner until the room is cool, then turning it off, and using a fan to save energy until the room gets hot again. However, this method actually consumes more energy because the air conditioner has to restart multiple times, leading to quicker breakdowns.
Prevent direct sunlight from shining into the room
It's advisable to avoid excessive heat exchange with the outside when using air conditioning. Sunlight can raise the room temperature, causing the air conditioner to work harder to cool the room. Conversely, keeping the room well shaded (using curtains) can prevent heat buildup, allowing the air conditioner to operate more efficiently without consuming excessive energy.
Regular maintenance and cleaning of the air conditioner
For optimal performance, it's important to regularly maintain and clean the unit thoroughly. Simply cleaning the accumulated dust in the filter can reduce the machine's operating power by up to 15%, resulting in significant energy savings.
Additionally, any malfunctions or issues during the air conditioner's operation should be promptly addressed to ensure the machine runs smoothly and consumes less electricity.
