❄️ *Want to stay cool without breaking the bank?*
Using your air conditioner smartly can make a huge difference on your comfort AND your electricity bill! 🔥💸
Here are *essential tips* to keep your home cool while keeping your costs low:
—
🔹 *1. Use “Dry Mode” Instead of “Cool Mode”*
Many don’t realize that switching to the *dry mode (the water droplet symbol)* removes humidity from the air — making it feel cooler without the AC working as hard. This can *cut electricity use by up to 30-50%!*
🔹 *2. Set Your Temperature Wisely*
Keeping the AC at *24-26°C (75-78°F)* is ideal. Lower settings like 18-20°C make the AC run longer and harder, consuming much more energy unnecessarily.
🔹 *3. Clean Filters Regularly*
A clogged air filter forces your AC to work harder and use more energy. *Cleaning or replacing filters every month* can improve efficiency by 15% or more!
🔹 *4. Use a Fan Together with AC*
Ceiling fans or portable fans *help circulate cool air*, allowing you to raise the thermostat a few degrees without feeling warmer — saving even more.
🔹 *5. Block Direct Sunlight
Close curtains or blinds during the hottest part of the day to keep your home naturally cooler, reducing the workload on your AC.
🔹 *6. Turn It Off When Not Needed*
Use timers or smart plugs to *automatically turn off* the AC when you’re not home. Running it 24/7 is one of the biggest reasons for high bills!
🔹 *7. Seal Any Air Leaks*
Make sure windows and doors are properly sealed. If cool air is leaking out, your AC will have to work overtime to maintain the temperature.
