10 ways to save electricity effectively when using air conditioners

1. Don't let the temperature get too cold at night

While you sleep, you will not need the temperature to be as cold as when you are awake. Therefore, adjust the air conditioner to a moderate temperature of about 25 - 29 degrees about 1 - 2 hours before going to bed, so the air conditioner will have to work less and use less electricity.

2. Use an air conditioner with a capacity suitable for the room area

Choose an air conditioner with a capacity suitable for the area (or volume) of your room. This will help ensure the cooling capacity of the air conditioner, while helping you optimize power consumption, keeping the machine durable and operating stably.

3. Close the door when using air conditioning

If you leave the door open while using the air conditioner, the cold air will escape, the outside temperature will affect the room temperature, so the air conditioner will have to work harder and consume a lot of electricity.

4. Clean the air conditioner periodically at least every 3 months

To keep the machine running well, you need to call a technician to clean the air conditioner. This can reduce the machine's operating capacity by up to 15%, helping to save a large amount of electricity, and at the same time increase the machine's lifespan.

5. Check the pipes and cover the hot block

Sometimes dirt stuck in the pipes or leaking pipes can also affect the machine's cooling system, wasting a lot of electricity.

If you install the outdoor unit, you should choose a shady place, protected from sunlight to reduce the heat impact on the unit, increasing the cooling speed. The unit should also be installed 30cm from the wall, because when installed too close to the wall, the unit will radiate heat and affect the room temperature.

6. Rearrange furniture so as not to block ventilation

Although the air conditioner has air vents that help direct cool air in the right direction, it is best to arrange your furniture so as not to block the wind direction, thanks to which you will also feel cooler faster and consume less electricity.

7. Adjust room temperature appropriately

From 23 to 27 degrees Celsius is the suitable temperature to not waste too much electricity but still maintain a moderate and suitable temperature.

8. Do not let sunlight shine into the room.

Covering the room to prevent sunlight from shining into the room will prevent the room temperature from rising too high. You can use light-colored curtains to block out and reduce the amount of heat absorbed.

9. Do not turn off the air conditioner if you are not going out for too long.

If turned off, the air conditioner must consume a significant amount of electricity to restart and cool the room again from the beginning.

It is best to turn the air conditioner to the highest temperature (30 to 32 degrees) and close all the windows and blinds. When you return, you may feel hot for a few minutes, but the heat will not be so strong that your air conditioner will have to work to cool down again.

10. Use fans in combination with air conditioners

Although we use air conditioners to cool, fans will help circulate cool air in the room, you do not need to reduce the temperature too low, thus consuming less electricity.
