Set a reasonable temperature
According to the recommendation of Vietnam Electricity Group (EVN), the air conditioning temperature should be set at 2628 degrees Celsius. This is just enough heat to feel cool, while reducing operating pressure on the machine, helping to save electricity.
In addition, combining the use of electric fans will help air circulation better, creating a cool feeling even when the air conditioner is not placed at low temperatures.
turn on the air conditioner at the right time, turn off when not necessary
The habit of turning on the air conditioner all day is the main cause of electricity consumption. On hot days, the air conditioner should be turned on at noon or afternoon - when the outdoor temperature peaks. In the early morning and evening, when it is cooler, you can take advantage of the wind or use a fan to replace.
In particular, don't forget to turn off the air conditioner about 30 minutes before leaving the room - because the cold air will still be retained for a while.
Close doors when using air conditioners
A simple thing that many people often ignore: Close doors and windows when the air conditioner is turned on. This helps limit the penetration of hot air and avoid losing cold air, thereby reducing the working capacity of the machine.
If the room has many gaps, you should use rubber gaskets or cover the gaps to increase insulation efficiency.
Periodically air conditioned hygiene
Dustgrids or air conditioners with a lot of dust will reduce cooling performance, causing the machine to work harder to achieve the desired temperature. Therefore, it is necessary to clean the grille 1-2 times a month and maintain air conditioners periodically every 6 months.
This is not only a way to save electricity but also helps prolong the life of the device and ensure air quality in the room.
Choosing electricity-saving air conditioners
If you are planning to buy a new one, prioritize investing in a inverter - a product line that can adjust power according to usage needs, helping to reduce electricity consumption.
In addition, you should choose a device with a 5-star energy label and a capacity suitable for the room area.
