When it's hot, it's not easy to turn off the air conditioner at night, but people may be shocked when their electricity bills skyrocket.
Reports show that air conditioning can account for about 40% of a family's electricity consumption in the hot summer, so using air conditioning economically will help users significantly reduce the burden of electricity bills. So how to use air conditioning economically? Let's explore three tutorials below.
How to use air conditioner.
Because the number of air conditioners will affect electricity consumption, choosing the right air conditioner for the space is very important. Depending on the area of the room, users choose the appropriate air conditioner as shown in the instruction table below.
Of course, if you use an air conditioner labeled with 5-star energy efficiency or an Inverter type, the energy saving ability will be better. For example, a 5-star air conditioner will save about 30% more energy than a 3-star air conditioner.
Besides, a number of other factors also affect the choice of air conditioner, including the material of the walls and roof, whether it is hot or not, the airiness in the room (there are many furniture and electronics); the number of people staying in the room; and solar radiation affects rooms such as rooms with many windows and glass doors.
Use power saving tips.
Users do not need to adjust the temperature too low when turning on the air conditioner, instead just adjust it to 24 to 26 degrees Celsius, then place the fan in front of the air conditioner and let the fan face the air conditioner so it can blow evenly throughout the house. Because each increase in air conditioning by 1 degree can save about 3% of electricity, it can be seen that turning on the air conditioner at 25 degrees Celsius will save more electricity than turning on the air conditioner at 18 degrees Celsius. In addition, if you see that turning on the air conditioner at 25 degrees Celsius The air conditioner is not cold enough, the user can put his hand on the air vent. If the wind is light but cool, there may be too much dust on the filter and clogging the air conditioner. At this point you can try cleaning the dust filter.
Tips for checking air conditioning.
If the air conditioner is not cool enough, users should also perform a test method. First close the window and measure the indoor temperature, then turn on the air conditioner to cool and place the thermometer in the air conditioner outlet for 3 minutes. If the temperature difference between the two measurements is less than 8 degrees, means the cooling unit has a problem. Have it repaired or replaced by a professional.
