AAA-FIX-It gives you 5 tips that will reduce your Air Conditioner electricity consumption:

1. Forget any figures below 20 Degrees Celsius!

For many years we have seen people setting their Air Conditioner on 16 Degrees.Please be reminded that your Air Conditioner is not made to reach such temperatures if the outside temperatures are above 25 degrees.Secondly, if you ever reach 16 Degrees, you better go and get a nice warm and most probably expensive jacket because 16 degrees in Malaysia would make anyone sick in a couple of hours.

So once for all, remember to set up your air conditioning at the highest temperature you’d feel comfortable with. The recommended temperature should be between 23 and 25 degrees.

2. Stop the ON-OFF game!

Drop that remote and leave it there!If your Air Conditioner is properly set up, you should enjoy the room temperature for longer periods of time without having to switching it on and off every 15 minutes.Your air conditioning unit works better and more efficiently if you let it do its work for longer periods.

3. Get your fans in the game!

While your air conditioning core function is to cool down the temperature of a room, it’s main function is not to distribute the air all over the place. Modern units will have lots of new functions aiming to that goal, but it is more efficient to have a fan assist to distribute the air in your room. This is particularly true if you plan to cool down a double story house.Switch on the Air Conditioner downstairs, and turn the fans on upstairs. This will help you to mix the hot air of the ceiling with the fresh air that tends to go to the floor.

4. Maintenance is cheaper than repairs!

This is a fact, and after years and years of experience, this remains our best advice.  As much as you would maintain your car, you should take care of your air conditioning.Not only are Air Conditioners expensive to buy, but every time you have to repair them, the costs involved can be quite high, repairs take longer and are more costly than a regularly planned maintenance.Take advantage of a planned maintenance schedule and avoid the surprise of a costly repair and the risk of health issues due to a poorly maintained unit.

5. How well did you welcome your Air Conditioner in your house?

When you decided to install your AC, you most probably checked the power needed for the room right? This factor is important and most of us think of that one. With all the installations that we performed, we have seen many houses that had very poor isolation. To prevent your cooled air to go away faster than your air conditioning can produce it, make sure your wall cracks are filled and that your windows are properly sealed. We would even suggest you to always close your curtains when you leave the house, as otherwise, the sun will heat up all your walls and heat will be released long after the sun goes down.
