Tips for using air conditioner remote control to save electricity

Below are ways to use air conditioner remote control properly to help save electricity.

1. Switch to Dry mode (water drop icon)

First, pay attention to the Dry mode (the icon on the control screen is a water drop). To put the air conditioner in Dry mode, when turning on the air conditioner, just switch from the "Cool" mode (cold with the icon on the screen is a snowflake).

Just this simple operation will significantly reduce the power consumption of the air conditioner; limit thermal shock because the room temperature will not be lower than 23 degrees Celsius and will not fluctuate greatly with the outside temperature.

In addition, when switching to Dry mode, you may also feel a little cooler because the humidity in the room is reduced, causing sweat to evaporate faster, helping the body to release heat quickly; this effect is felt on cool days when the temperature is not too high.

2. Select fan mode

The fan also has Auto mode, Low, Medium, High (or with some controls it will be represented by 1 dot, 3 dots, 5 dots respectively)... Select auto, the machine will automatically select the most suitable preset program for the outdoor temperature and the current indoor temperature.

The bigger the fan, the more electricity it will consume, the noisier the air conditioner will be, and the faster the air in the room and your skin will dry out.

If only considering the fan, with the same equivalent capacity, the air flow through the fan door of the air conditioner will be lower than the air flow through a pure fan. Therefore, to save electricity, you should turn on the air conditioner fan at the lowest mode, with an additional external fan, rather than just turning on the air conditioner fan at the highest mode.

3. Night sleep mode

Also one of the useful modes for users, night sleep mode has the ability to balance the ambient temperature with the user's body temperature.

In fact, this function supports gradually increasing the temperature (usually the machine will increase 0.5 degrees per hour and a maximum of 2 degrees Celsius) so that users can have a comfortable, cool sleep, avoiding users waking up at night due to feeling cold. Accordingly, when the air conditioner increases the temperature, it also means that the operating capacity is reduced and saves more electricity.

4. Turn the machine on and off properly

The air conditioner has a compact remote control that can be carried anywhere to turn on and off; because of this convenience, many people have the habit of turning it off immediately when the room is cold, and turning it back on when the room is hot to save electricity.

However, this method makes the machine consume more electricity because it takes a lot of electricity to start up and cool down again from the beginning; in addition, it also reduces the life and durability of the air conditioner.

During use, make sure the air conditioner is always on; only turn it off 30 - 45 minutes before leaving the room.

After using the remote control to turn off the machine, always turn off the circuit breaker (power switch to the machine) because in fact, when turned off by the remote control, the machine still consumes a certain amount of electricity. In addition, turning off the power to the machine also prevents electrical short circuits, causing damage to the machine.
