Controlling AC temperatures at home

Maintaining a comfortable and energy-efficient home environment requires strategic control of your air conditioner's temperature settings. Here are some helpful tips:

  • Set your ideal temperature: Find your personal comfort zone. The ideal temperature typically falls between 22°C (72°F) and 25°C (77°F). Adjust the thermostat accordingly to maintain this range.
  • Utilize the fan option: The fan function circulates cool air without activating the compressor, saving energy. Use this option for a gentle breeze without further cooling the room.
  • Schedule your comfort: Many air conditioners offer programmable timers. Set the AC to turn on or off at specific times, ensuring a cool environment upon arrival and preventing unnecessary cooling during unoccupied hours.
  • Minimise heat gain: Close curtains or blinds during peak sunlight hours to prevent heat from entering the room. Additionally, ensure proper insulation in your home to minimise heat transfer from outside.
  • Regular maintenance: Schedule regular cleaning of air filters to optimise airflow and cooling efficiency. A clean filter allows the AC to operate at peak performance, potentially reducing energy consumption.

Smart cooling when you are away by setting a higher temperature

While maintaining a cool home is essential, energy savings become crucial when you are away. Here is a simple trick:

  • Raise the thermostat: When you leave the house for an extended period, adjust the thermostat to a slightly higher temperature – ideally 2-3°C (4-5°F) warmer than your usual setting. This small adjustment can significantly reduce energy consumption without compromising comfort upon your return. Remember, the AC will quickly cool the space down once you are back.

By following these tips and exploring the wide variety of air conditioners available at Bajaj Mall, you can create a cool and comfortable home environment while keeping energy efficiency in mind.
