Improve your comfort in summer! 10 air conditioning usage tips to keep you cool and save money!

The weather is getting hot, and many people have already started turning on the air conditioner. However, if you want to turn on the air conditioner and save electricity at the same time, there are actually some tips. We have specially compiled a series of tips for using air conditioners. These tips can not only improve the performance of the air conditioner, but also improve the indoor air quality, making your home space more livable!

Filter Cleaning and Replacement：
- Clean the air conditioning filter at least once a month to prevent dust and dirt from accumulating and affecting air circulation. Easily remove the filter, rinse it with clean water and let it dry before reinstalling it.
- Replace the filter every 6 months to maintain good operation and air quality.
Proper temperature setting：
- Setting the temperature between 24°C and 26°C maintains a comfortable and economical cooling effect and avoids excessive power consumption. For every 1°C decrease in temperature, power consumption increases by approximately 6% to 10%.
Reasonable use of air conditioners：
- When you leave a room, you may consider turning off the air conditioner. However, if you are planning to be away for a short time, it may be more effective to keep the air conditioner running. If you need to be away for a long time, you can start the air conditioner before entering the room again to ensure that the room remains at a comfortable temperature and avoid wasting energy by over-running the air conditioner.
- Use the timer function to set the air conditioner to automatically turn off a few hours before going to bed to avoid wasting electricity by running it at night.
Use with electric fan：
- Using a fan to assist the air conditioner can help distribute the cool air evenly. Not only will this make the air conditioning more effective, but it will also allow you to set the air conditioning a little higher, thus reducing your electricity bill.
Shading measures：
- Use thick curtains or drapes to block sunlight during the day to reduce heat gain indoors. Adding awnings or shade from street trees outside can also effectively reduce direct sunlight.
Choose the right air conditioning capacity：
- Don't choose an air conditioner that is too large, because although excessive power can quickly cool down, it will cause frequent switching on and off, increasing energy consumption. Choose a suitable air conditioner model according to the area of the room (for example: a room of 100 square feet requires a cooling capacity of about 9,000 BTU).
Energy efficiency label：
- When purchasing an air conditioner, pay attention to the energy performance label of the product and choose a high-efficiency product (such as a Grade 1 energy label product). Although the initial investment may be higher, it can save you a lot of electricity bills in the long run.
Regular maintenance and professional inspections：
- Perform professional air conditioning maintenance at least once a year. Professional technicians can check the condenser, circuit, and refrigerant to ensure that the system operates normally and reduce the chance of unexpected failures.
Intelligent control system application：
- If the air conditioner supports smart control, you can use the mobile phone application to remotely control the air conditioner and set the on/off time and temperature. This allows you to adjust the air conditioner settings at any time when you are away from home, reducing unnecessary power waste.
Keep indoor ventilation：
- Open windows regularly for short ventilation to keep fresh air circulating, which helps improve indoor air quality and reduce the burden on air conditioners.
