Maintenance is crucial for reducing electricity consumption. Dust and debris
accumulation can block airflow. So, service your AC regularly to ensure optimal efficiency.
Setting your AC to the lowest temperature doesn't cool the room faster; it makes
the AC work harder and uses more energy. The BEE recommends 24 degrees Celsius for comfort and
efficiency.
Regular and prolonged use of your air conditioner can result in increased
electricity costs. When not in use, turning it off from the main board lowers the bill and the
"idle load."
Seal leaks around windows, doors, and ducts, and add insulation to maintain
indoor temperatures for more efficient AC use.
Modern air conditioners have various modes, allowing operation at 80%, 60%, or
25% capacity. Use these modes after initially running the AC in normal mode to reduce energy
consumption.
Ceiling fans can enhance air circulation and exhaust fans in kitchens and
bathrooms remove heat and humidity.
Utilize the built-in timer function in your AC to set automatic shutdown times,
effectively reducing electricity consumption.
