Temperatures are increasing drastically in many parts of the country. Air conditioners (ACs) provide some relief from the heat of the sun. However, there is no need to worry about the electricity bill if some precautions are taken while using them.

1. Minimum temperature should be between 24 to 27 degrees. * Usually we reduce the minimum temperature of AC to 18 degrees. We think that the lower the AC temperature, the cooler the house. But, experts say that this is just a myth. The result is visible after a long time of switching on.

Any company AC should be used between 24 to 27 degrees. It is also good for the durability of ACs.

* The temperature seen when the AC is turned on is called the default temperature. That means all ACs should start around 24 degrees. In 2020, the Bureau of Energy Efficiency issued a directive to this effect.

2. Errors in installation

* Electronics company TCL says that mistakes in installation are also the reason for the increase in AC bills

Depending on the capacity of our room, we should choose the AC according to the area. For example, if the area of the room is 120 to 140 feet, 1 ton AC is enough. If the choice is made according to the area of the room, there is no need to compromise on things like electricity, purchase amount and comfort.

3. Do not put in the sun

* AC outdoor unit has condenser coil and condenser fan. This fan is used to send outside air into the condenser coil. Wind due to the sun falling on it

The cooling capacity of the AC decreases.

Some people throw clothes behind the AC to avoid the sun. It is more dangerous. There is a danger that they will go inside.

4. Servicing is mandatory

Experts say that ACs need servicing and electricity can be saved only if they are in good condition. At least once in a year we should give AC servicing. There is dust and dirt in the filters and ducts. These should be removed. This prevents gas leakage in the AC. Components like the compressor are not threatened. They are known as dust. These should be removed. Because of this

AC is non-gastic. Components like the compressor are not threatened.

5. Do not leave it on all day

Almost all ACs now have timers. We should observe how long it takes for our room to cool down and set that time. Then there is no need for AC to run 24 hours. Electricity bill will be saved.

6. Doors and windows should be kept closed.

Doors and windows should always be closed to prevent cold air from escaping. The atmosphere in the room is cooled and the sun does not come in. If there are glass windows and thick curtains, the sun will not come in. Fridges and TVs should be kept outside. Fridges, TVs, and computers generate a lot of heat. Avoid these in air-conditioned rooms. This reduces the heat in the rooms and cools the room quickly.

Avoid these in air-conditioned rooms. This reduces the heat in the rooms and cools the room quickly.

7. It is better to wear a fan

If you turn on the fan while the AC is running, the room temperature will feel a little lower than normal. Cold air rushes in all four directions of the room. This will increase the temperature. Electricity is saved. Experts say that if a fan is used along with the AC, the temperature will be four degrees lower than normal.

By following these instructions.. if you also keep in mind the upcoming electricity bill, AC consumption will be reduced. Experts say that it can maintain the ecological balance.
