5 ways to reduce your AC bill
Rising temperatures put more pressure on the air conditioner, which leads to higher power consumption. These 5 tips will make your AC work better and can also reduce your electricity bill.
1. AC Care and Servicing
It is important to keep in mind whether your house has window AC or split AC. House dust can also enter the filter. Due to which dust accumulates on the filter and it becomes difficult to filter the air. In such a situation, the AC will run at higher pressure and the electricity bill will increase. Regular cleaning of filters and servicing of AC can save you from this problem.
2. Keep doors and windows closed
Doors and windows should be kept closed while the AC is on. You have to ensure that the AC air does not go out of the room. If air escapes from the AC then the AC will have to work more and electricity consumption will also increase. You can reduce your electricity bill by closing doors and windows.
3. Set the correct AC temperature
Many people keep the AC set at a very low temperature. But this method is not suitable rather it consumes more electricity. The Bureau of Energy Efficiency recommends running the AC at 24 degrees. This temperature is suitable for the human body. You can save on electricity bills by setting the normal temperature.
4. Set a timer
If you schedule your AC, this is a great way to reduce bills. Set the AC timer before going to bed so that it switches off automatically after 1-2 hours. The temperature of your room will also improve at this time. This method will save you from running the AC all night and will also reduce your electricity bill.
5. Turn on the fan
The advantage of running a fan with AC is that the cool air of AC spreads well throughout the room. With proper fan speed you can cool the room with the air conditioner. This way your room will remain cool and you will not have to worry about the bill.
