1. Schedule regular maintenance.
Having your air conditioner professionally serviced at least once a year can help extend its lifespan and ensure that it is operating at peak efficiency and maintain your warranty.
2 Keep the air filter clean.
A dirty air filter can restrict airflow and cause your air conditioner to work harder, resulting in higher energy bills and reduced cooling performance.
3. Keep the outdoor unit clear of debris.
Leaves, branches, and other debris can block the flow of air to the outdoor unit, causing it to work harder and potentially leading to a malfunction.
4. Close the blinds and shades.
This will help keep the sun’s heat out of your home, reducing the amount of work your air conditioner has to do.
5. Use fans to your advantage.
Ceiling fans can help circulate cool air and make the room feel cooler, allowing you to set the thermostat higher and save energy.
6. Don’t block the vents.
Make sure that furniture and other items are not blocking the airflow from the vents. This will help ensure that the air is being distributed evenly throughout the room.
7. Keep the doors and windows closed.
Open doors and windows can let in hot air, making the air conditioner work harder to cool the home.
8. Use the energy-saving setting.
Many air conditioners have an energy-saving setting that allows the unit to cycle on and off more frequently, saving energy while still maintaining a comfortable temperature.
9. Use your air conditioner wisely.
Try to avoid setting the temperature too low and only use the air conditioner when it is necessary. Every degree you lower the thermostat can result in an increase in energy usage of about 3%.
10. DO NOT set your aircon lower than 21C (Cooling Mode) during the Summer Time and higher than 25C (Heating Mode) during Winter.
By following these tips, you can help keep your home comfortable and your air conditioner running efficiently.
