Is it possible to use an AC but without breaking the bank? Yes, it is! You just have to set your AC at the right temperature. Tap to know about it.
We often believe that setting the AC temperature to 18 degrees can cool down the room faster compared to 24 degrees. However, this is a misconception.
The air conditioner has a thermostat which analyses the room temperature and instructs the compressor to perform. For different temperatures, compressor works differently.
If we set a lower temperature in ACs, it takes a long time to cool down, increasing your bills. On the other hand, setting the temperature to 24 degrees takes lesser time.
Once the temperature reaches 24 degrees, the compressor stops and the fan starts working, minimising electricity consumption. So, it is an energy-efficient temperature.
As per the Energy and Resource Institute, setting your AC to 24 degrees Celsius is an ideal option. It keeps you cooler without breaking your bank.
While using an AC, keep doors and windows closed and seal if there is any leaks. You can also use a ceiling fan to maximise cooling efficiency.
