In summer, the indoor temperature is usually around 30 degrees. Such a temperature naturally makes people feel uncomfortable staying in the house. It is really impossible without turning on the air conditioner. But we keep the air conditioner on and we are more worried about the electricity bill. The air conditioner indeed consumes a lot of electricity. We turn it on for at least a few hours every day. However, there are ways to save energy by turning on the air conditioner. Listen to the air conditioner salesman’s several ways to save energy on air conditioners, and you will save a lot of money right away!
1: How to save energy when using air conditioners?
1. Don’t turn the air conditioner on and off frequently
What we are talking about here is don’t turn the air conditioner on and off frequently. We mean that if you go out for a short time, such as going downstairs to buy food or go to the bathroom, there is no need to turn off the air conditioner. . Many people think that turning on the air conditioner when no one is in the room is a waste of electricity. In fact, this idea is incorrect.
Because the air conditioner has reached the set temperature after running for a period of time, if it is switched on and off frequently, it means that it needs to be re-cooled every time until it maintains a certain temperature, which essentially consumes more power. At the same time, frequent switching on and off will also Shorten the service life of compressor .
2. The angle of the air-conditioning outlet is very important.
We all know that air-conditioning generally flows downward, so in order to achieve better cooling effect and make the room cool more quickly, the air-conditioning outlet should be upward. Such a cooling effect Even better, when the air conditioner blows up and then down, the room temperature will drop very quickly. Furthermore, if the air conditioning outlet blows upward, it will be less likely to catch a cold when sleeping at night.
Especially for inverter air conditioners, when the room temperature stabilizes quickly, the compressor will automatically reduce the operating frequency, and the power saving effect is very outstanding.
3. It is best to close thick curtains when turning on the air conditioner.
In the summer, it is very hot outside. If it is a room facing direct sunlight, the room will become very stuffy after being exposed to the sun, and the entire wall will be hot. of. If we close the windows and draw the thick curtains when turning on the air conditioner, we can not only effectively save energy, but also cool down the room faster. In addition, when sleeping at night, please remember to turn on sleep mode , and please do not open the window when turning on the air conditioner.
2: 3 major misunderstandings about using air conditioners
1. Will frequent switching on and off save energy?
In daily use of air conditioners, most people have a stereotype, that is, they turn off the air conditioner when they feel the temperature of the house is low, and then turn it back on after a while when it gets hot; or they turn it off when they have to go out temporarily without blowing the air conditioner. Turn it off and restart it when you come back.
The truth revealed:
The real energy consumption of air conditioners is mainly related to the operation of its compressor. Frequent switching of the compressor requires a large amount of current to start, which indirectly results in high power consumption of the air conditioner. The same situation occurs after returning from a short trip. At this time, it is recommended that everyone turn off the air conditioner 10 minutes before going out, or turn it off when going out for more than 30 minutes.
2. Does the air conditioner consume no energy when in standby mode?
Continuing from the previous one, many times we "turn off" the air conditioner and just leave it in standby mode, that is, the air conditioner is powered on but in non-working mode. We often think that we only need to use the remote control to turn off the air conditioner.
The truth revealed:
When in standby, the air conditioner needs to monitor the control signals from the remote control device and internal sensors at any time, so it will consume corresponding power. For example, a new version of the 1.5-horsepower inverter air conditioner consumes about 0.07 degrees of electricity for one day of standby. If you don't stick to trivial matters, you can ignore the trouble of frequently plugging and unplugging the power supply during use, but you still have to remember to unplug it when not using it for a long time ~
3, the lower the temperature, the better?
Many people always adjust the air conditioner temperature to 22 degrees or even lower in the summer to feel cool. They think this is the most comfortable way. Sometimes they also turn on a small electric fan and cover them with quilts to feel the coolness. the best state.
The truth revealed:
The temperature that the human body really feels is largely related to the dryness and humidity of the room. The temperature that the skin comes into contact with is not necessarily the adjusted temperature.Generally speaking, adjusting the temperature to 26 to 27 degrees is a more comfortable temperature for the human body and is more energy-saving. If you still feel that it is not cold enough, you can adjust "cooling" to "dehumidification" to instantly cool the room and save energy.
Summer is indeed the season when electricity bills rise. The electricity bill is obviously much higher than at other times, and this is mainly because the air conditioner is always on. Our life is not easy, once we can save a little. By using these three ways to save energy on air conditioners, we can save a lot of money. Do not stay in an air-conditioned room all the time, otherwise the air will deteriorate. Proper ventilation should be carried out to ensure fresh air.
