Lower electricity bill, better cooling of the room! At what temperature will you save money by running the AC in summer? Know 6 tips

The scorching heat across the country has increased the problems of the people. In many states the temperature has crossed 45 degrees Celsius and the Indian Meteorological Department has issued an alert regarding heatwave. To get relief from the scorching heat, people are constantly using air conditioners i.e. AC, but if the AC is used incorrectly, the electricity bill can also increase rapidly.

According to the report, experts say that if AC is used properly, not only will the room be cooled better, but electricity consumption can also be reduced to a great extent. Small things like setting the right temperature, using dry mode and proper arrangement of the room can bring big benefits in summer.

What will be the savings by running at what temperature?

As the heat increases, many people set the AC to 16 or 18 degrees so that the room can cool down quickly. Which is not considered the right way. According to reports, experts believe that it is best to run the AC at 24 degrees Celsius. At this temperature the room cools comfortably and electricity consumption also remains low. Running AC at very low temperatures puts additional pressure on the compressor, which increases electricity consumption. Continuously running AC at low temperature can also reduce the life of the machine.

Do this work from time to time?

Cleaning the filter is very important for better cooling of AC and less electricity consumption. If the filter becomes dirty then the air flow reduces and cooling is affected. Clean filters increase the efficiency of the AC and keep the machine in better condition for a longer period of time. Therefore, it is considered necessary to get the filter cleaned from time to time.
