How to Reduce Your Air Conditioning Electricity Costs
Maintenance, sensible temperature settings, room sealing and correct equipment selection deliver most of the achievable savings.
Maintain what you have
Clean filters and coils and an unobstructed outdoor unit let the system reach the set temperature faster and run less.
Change how you use it
Set a realistic temperature rather than the minimum, close doors and windows in cooled rooms, shade direct sun, and use ceiling fans alongside the AC.
Upgrade where it pays
In rooms cooled for long hours, replacing an old, oversized or failing unit with a correctly sized inverter system can materially reduce consumption.
