Energy Saver - Air Conditioner















You can reduce air-conditioning energy use by as much as 40 percent by shading your home's windows and walls.

Dirty filters restrict airflow and can cause the system to run longer, increasing energy use. Replace / clean filters monthly for maximum benefit.

Set the temperature control no lower than 24 degrees.

Check and clean the condenser coils and fins on the outside of the unit.

Always buy a sutaible size to fit your requirements and Energy efficient model.

Keep windows and doors closed when using a air conditioner.

Seal all air gaps between your air conditioner and window.

Close blinds and curtains during the day, especially on sun-facing windows.

Use fans to reduce the need for air conditioners because fans are very inexpensive to operate compared with air conditioners.

Have the air conditioner serviced by an qualified person every two or three years.
