Create A Smart Home
This is for those who habitually keep their air conditioners running at high levels throughout the day for temperature control, as well as leaving lights on unnecessarily. It’s time to consider a costly yet impactful change in your household.
Smart control devices offer an effective means of managing appliances whether you’re at home or away. However, leaving appliances such as AC units running when you’re not at home is impractical and wasteful, resulting in unnecessary expenditure of both money and power.
Maintain The Temperature Of Air Conditioners
According to research, for every degree below 24 degrees Celsius (75 degrees Fahrenheit) that your air conditioner is set, you use an additional 3–5% more energy. Therefore, it’s recommended to set your air conditioner to 25 degrees Celsius (77 degrees Fahrenheit) to achieve maximum comfort at minimal cost.
Ceiling fans can also serve as a cost-effective supplement to air conditioning, offering additional comfort at a lower operating expense.
Regulate The Water Temperature.
You can lower the average temperature of your hot water heater by a few degrees to prevent it from consuming additional power to maintain a higher water temperature.
It’s a straightforward adjustment, and altering the temperature by a few degrees may not seem like a significant change. However, don’t just take our word for it—verify the difference for yourself.
Air Conditioners Require Regular Cleaning
Air conditioning units accumulate dust over time, which can cause them to work harder and consume more power compared to clean units. Take action to clean them now.
Establishing a routine of cleaning your air conditioning units regularly by vacuuming filters and vents can result in significant savings.
To ensure that your AC operates smoothly and efficiently, schedule regular maintenance with your local technician.
