Ways to save electricity on hot summer days

1. Air conditioning:Turning on the air conditioner along with the fan saves 10-15% of energy consumption. The reason is that when the fan is running, the air moves, the heat dissipation coefficient is large, so even if the air conditioner temperature is set at a higher mode, people still feel cool.
Regularly cleaning the filter will save 5 - 7% of electricity.
Do not place the air conditioner near the wall where the sun heats the most during the day, as this will waste 20-25% of electricity.

The air conditioner temperature should differ from the outdoor temperature by 10 to 12 degrees Celsius to be reasonable in terms of electricity consumption.

2. Seal the house:Cold air escapes through even the smallest gaps, so minimizing these gaps can help you save money on your energy bills. Check your doors and windows when you use air conditioning to make sure that cold air isn’t being wasted.
You can fill in gaps and cracks in doors with flexible rubber strips available at home improvement stores. Planting trees in front of windows can provide shade and help reduce your electricity bill.
3. Unplug electronic devices when not in use:According to statistics, many electronic devices such as computers, televisions, sound systems, etc. still use electricity even when turned off. Although this number is not high, consider that they consume your money 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for a long time.

To limit this, unplug all devices that you are no longer using, including items that we rarely pay attention to such as laptops, smartphones, iPads, electric fans, microwaves, and devices with timers in general.

4. Use LED lights instead of Compact lights to save electricity:Led bulbs are much more expensive than Compact bulbs, but in terms of long-term economic benefits, Led bulbs will be more economical than Compact bulbs because using Led bulbs will save energy, significantly reduce monthly electricity costs and repair and replacement costs.
5. Turn off the lights and limit direct sunlight into the room:Turn off electronics when not in use, turn off lights when it's light, and turn off fans and air conditioners early in the morning to take advantage of the cool breeze of the day.

Turning off the lights is an effective way to save electricity.

Households should also pay attention to protecting their rooms on hot days. You can install insulated roofs/ceilings, install reflective glass doors, or use other measures to prevent sunlight from shining directly into the room - causing a sharp increase in temperature that even with air conditioning on, it cannot "handle".
