 |
Air conditioner has become a necessity today because of the scorching heat of sun outside. But air conditioner consumes a lot of electricity. Here we will learn how to save electricity while enjoying the comfort of air conditioner.
Buy an AC of proper size based on size of room and number of persons using that room. Purchasing a big AC will not only demand extra money but will also add a lot in your electricity bill. Hence, be smart and purchase an AC that can save both money and electricity for you.
Choose the shaded part of your home for installing a new AC and enjoy its efficiency to the fullest. If you will place it somewhere in the sun it will eat more electricity to cool down your house.
A room should be properly insulated where AC is installed. There should be no opening space for air to go out otherwise efficiency of AC will go down as the air is leaking out. For this, check all the opening space in the room and seal that. Put curtains on your window to stop the sun rays entering in your room.
One degree rise in temperature of an AC can save 2% of electricity. As an example, if you increase the temperature from 62 to 67 you can save 10% of electricity. Hence increase the temperature little bit as it can save double of your electricity.
Periodic investigation of AC is very important to maintain its performance. Filter used is AC should be checked every other month, if you can’t see through a filter means it needs a cleaning or replacement. Condenser coils and fans also need cleaning you can read manual to know how to do it.
When the weather is balanced, a ceiling fan can replace an AC. These fans are very cost effective as they consume only tenth part of electricity consumed by an AC. A ceiling fan raises the air conditioner’s thermostat by spreading air in every part of a room. Hence using a fan along with AC saves a lot of money for you.
By now it must be clear that AC consumes a lot of electricity. So never use it to cool a empty room when nobody is present in that room. Whenever you go out of your home, you can set the automatic timer of AC to get a cool room. Save electricity and you will get it back.
