What to do after turning off the air conditioner to save electricity

Air conditioners are devices that use electrical energy to change the temperature and improve the air quality in a room. Currently, the market is popular with both one-way air conditioners that only have the ability to cool and two-way air conditioners that can cool and heat. In addition, this device also has the ability to clean the air thanks to the filter system, helping to bring a comfortable, clean, and safe space for health.

What to do after turning off the air conditioner to save electricity bill every month

Air conditioners are one of the devices that consume a lot of electricity in the family. Therefore, besides choosing an air conditioner with the right capacity for your living space and setting the right mode, you also need to know what to do after turning off the air conditioner to save a significant amount of electricity each month.

When using air conditioners, users usually only care about the two main buttons on the remote control: on and off.

However, if you just turn off the air conditioner with the off button on the remote control, the device will still be powered and switched to standby mode. This means that your air conditioner is still silently consuming a certain amount of electricity, equivalent to a 15W light bulb.

Furthermore, simply turning off the air conditioner using the remote control also poses a risk of electrical short circuit or fire if your home's power source is unstable.

Therefore, to save electricity, increase the life of the air conditioner as well as ensure the safety of your family, the thing to do after turning off the air conditioner is to completely disconnect the power source by turning off the device's circuit breaker.

How to use air conditioning economically and healthily

Air conditioners can cause a large difference in temperature between the room and the outside, so if not used properly, you will waste electricity and your health will be adversely affected. Therefore, when using air conditioners, you need to pay attention to the following:

Choose a machine with reasonable capacity

Air conditioner capacity must be suitable for room area:

• Air conditioner ~1 HP (9000 BTU): Room under 15 m2
• 1.5 HP Air Conditioner (12000 BTU): Room 15-20 m2
• 2 HP Air Conditioner (18000 BTU): Room 20-30 m2
• 2.5 HP air conditioner (24000 BTU): Room 30-40 m2.

Choosing an air conditioner with a small capacity for a large room will cause the room to not be cool enough, the machine will have to "work too hard" and reduce its lifespan. On the contrary, if the room is small but the air conditioner with a large capacity is chosen, the room will always be too cold, which is not good for health and wastes energy.

Therefore, you need to base on the room area to choose the right air conditioner, both economical and safe for the health of you and your family members.

Timer to turn off the machine

Room temperature should be only 5 degrees C lower than ambient temperature.

Many people have the habit of turning on the air conditioner and setting the temperature very low (16 - 18 degrees Celsius) to cool the room quickly and then adjusting it slowly, but this method can easily cause heat shock, is not safe for your health, and does not save electricity.

When using air conditioning, you should only maintain the temperature at 26 - 28 degrees Celsius to ensure that there is not too much of a temperature difference between indoors and outdoors and also to help your family save electricity.

Cool the room before sleeping

According to many technical experts, users feel more comfortable and sleep easier when cool air spreads throughout the room. If you do not own an air conditioner with the ability to cool quickly, users should turn on the air conditioner 10-15 minutes before going to bed.

Regular air conditioning cleaning

After a period of use, the air conditioner accumulates a lot of bacteria, mold... Cleaning the air conditioner periodically every 6 months helps protect the user's health, increase the life of the machine and save electricity significantly.

When cleaning the air conditioner, you need to pay attention to clean parts such as the mask, filter, condenser, evaporator and especially turn off all power and atomat related to the air conditioner to ensure safety, absolutely do not wet the electronic circuit board located right above the compressor.
