Instructions for using air conditioner to save the most electricity

Nowadays, people do not only need an air conditioner during the peak hot season, but due to climate change and global warming, air conditioners seem to be used all year round, especially in large cities with high population density and hot and stuffy air like Ho Chi Minh City, this is an indispensable device in every household. However, air conditioners are always associated with the label "power consumption", so how to use air conditioners continuously while still being good for your wallet? Mitsubishi HEAVY will guide you on how to use air conditioners to save the most electricity.

1. Choose an air conditioner suitable for the room area

Choosing the right capacity for the room area is one of the top criteria to help the air conditioner save electricity. You cannot use a compact air conditioner with a capacity of 1 HP with the purpose of blowing cool air to the entire house from inside to outside, from top to bottom. This will cause the machine to operate overloaded, leading to the air conditioner not only consuming electricity but also breaking down quickly.

2. Ensure heat loss prevention

Cold air leaking out through the gap will cause the air conditioner to always operate at high capacity, leading to more electricity consumption. Curtains are one of the best ways to reduce heat loss, especially in rooms facing the sun. Curtains have the effect of preventing sunlight from shining directly into the room, increasing the temperature, and also separating the windows to prevent air from escaping from the house. For small gaps that are difficult to handle, you can ask a technician to come and check and handle them for you.

3. Clean the air conditioner regularly

Just cleaning the accumulated dust in the filter can reduce the machine's operating capacity by up to 15%, helping to save a large amount of electricity. To ensure the professionalism and safety of your air conditioner, you can call Mitsubishi HEAVY's hotline for more advice on periodic maintenance.

4. Increase or decrease the room temperature appropriately

Even a small change in temperature can increase costs. The simplest way to save electricity is to increase the temperature when you are not in the room. The air conditioning system operates more effectively at high temperatures for long periods of time. From 25 to 28 degrees Celsius is the appropriate temperature for your air conditioner to operate optimally. In addition, you should also turn off other heat-generating electrical devices to avoid increasing the room temperature.

5. Combine fan and air conditioner

If you combine a fan while turning on the air conditioner, it will help circulate cool air in the room quickly, which also means that you do not need to reduce the air conditioner temperature too low, so the air conditioner consumes less electricity. In addition, the fan consumes very little electricity, so you can rest assured that when you turn on both devices at the same time, not only will it not waste electricity but it will also help save a fair amount of electricity.

Applying the 5 tips above, you can comfortably turn on the Mitsubishi HEAVY air conditioner all day without worrying about wasting electricity. Let's start doing it today!
