How to reduce power consumption of the AC unit

How to reduce power consumption of the Air Conditioning Machine

Here we are going to discuss some facts which helps to reduce power consumption of the Air conditioning machine.

1. Set the AC in to the optimized temprature


Temperature that you have set in the AC significantly affect the Power consumption. If you set the AC in to a lower temperature, it consumes more power.   Therefore it is very important to set to the ambient temperature to save power while bring your room in to a comfort temperature.
Studies says that set the AC temperature around 25 celcious gives the best power consumption.


2. Using ceiling fans along with the AC

This also can affect to reduce power consumption while bring the room in to comfort level. But if your room’s roof directly facing to the sun, avoid using this method.


3. Placement of the outdoor unit in the proper location..


Keep in mind to fix your AC outdoor unit in a location where not facing to sun. Because it reduce the efficiency of the AC unit and take long time to bring the room in to required temperature. Therefore keep in mind to fix outdoor unit in the best location.


4. Insulate the room


Insulate your room is also very important. That avoid outside hot temperature come inside of the room through walls, windows, ceiling or roof.
For that, try to use insulated blocks for external walls when you construct the building. Also apply light colors the external walls to reduce heat absorption.
Use insulation materials below the roof.
Use blindings or curtains for windows and keep windows and doors closed all the time.


5. Maintain your AC unit regularly



Make sure to clean AC filters in regular intervals, because it can block the air inflow in to the room.  Also maintain your AC unit at least once in a 6 months to achieve better performance.
