Turning on the air conditioner at 29 degrees at night
Many people think that the temperature is supposed to be energy-saving, but it turns out to be 'wrong'. This is the right temperature, we should fix it immediately.
In the months of continuous sunshine, the cost of paying for air conditioning is always a concern for everyone. Therefore, there are many tips for using air conditioning economically, including the experience of turning on the air conditioner at 29 degrees at night. Many people think that the temperature that is supposed to save electricity is 'wrong'. This is the right temperature, we should fix it right away.
The ideal air conditioning temperature at night
There are many opinions that setting the air conditioner to 29 degrees Celsius at night will help save a lot of electricity. However, this is not entirely true. According to some recommendations, the air conditioning temperature from 26 degrees Celsius or higher is the level that helps save energy. Then every hour increase by 1 degree to reduce 7-10% of electricity. However, each person has a different ability to perceive temperature. Some people feel 29 degrees Celsius is hot but others feel it is cold. Therefore, you do not necessarily have to set the air conditioner at 29 degrees Celsius, but should adjust it to suit your own feelings, just above 26 degrees Celsius is fine.
Note, the temperature should not be below 20 degrees Celsius. The large temperature difference between inside and outside the room will be harmful to health.
Some notes to help save air conditioning electricity
+ Set the appropriate air conditioning temperature
According to the manufacturer's recommendation, 25-29 degrees Celsius is the appropriate temperature range for the air conditioner to operate stably, the body feels comfortable and the difference is not too much compared to the outdoor temperature in Vietnam.
You should set the air conditioner to a moderately cool level, not too cold because it will affect your health and make the machine consume more electricity.
+ Choose an air conditioner with suitable capacity
You need to calculate the air conditioner capacity suitable for the area of the room to choose an air conditioner with enough cooling capacity and save electricity during use. Too much capacity will cause waste and too little capacity will not ensure cooling capacity. Air conditioners with suitable capacity also help the machine operate stably and last longer.
+ Choose energy-saving air conditioners
Inverter air conditioners use inverter technology to help the machine operate stably and save electricity more effectively. With Inverter air conditioners, when the cooling capacity is just enough, the compressor will operate again, both limiting the waste of electricity and helping to maintain a more stable temperature. If you need to use a lot of air conditioning and have electricity, choose to buy an Inverter air conditioner to save operating costs later. + Install the air conditioner reasonably Depending on the interior architecture of the room, you arrange the appropriate air conditioner. The condenser must be hung high enough (over 2.5 m) so that the cold air can spread throughout the room. Avoid blowing the wind directly at the person in the living room or the bed because it can easily cause discomfort and cold. The ventilation fan is mounted on the front wall to create air circulation and avoid losing a lot of cold air to the outside. The condenser is hung in a well-ventilated place facing the sun, the location must be easy to access for cleaning and repairing the machine, the gas pipe connecting from the evaporator to the condenser must be well insulated, placed against the wall and installed before installation, and the wall must be painted.
+ Regular cleaning and maintenance of the air conditioner
The air conditioner will accumulate a lot of dirt and dust after daily operation, and parts need to be repaired or replaced. Regular cleaning and maintenance helps your air conditioner cool quickly, operate stably, last long and save electricity.
+ Do not turn the air conditioner on and off continuously
You should not turn off the machine when you feel it is cold enough and turn it back on when it is hot again because this way the machine has to restart with high capacity and cool again from the beginning, causing the machine to consume more electricity and reduce its lifespan.
