Using the wrong air conditioner is not only harmful to your health but also makes your electricity bill skyrocket. Here are 7 mistakes when using air conditioners that cause electricity bills to 'increase without stopping':
Choose the wrong mode
On the air conditioner control panel, the mode is usually selected as Auto (Auto), some controls have specific modes such as cooling (Cool), drying (Dry), fan mode (Fan)... Using the wrong mode is one of the reasons why the air conditioner does not do the right thing, causing an increase in electricity bills.
The article on Vietnamnet newspaper advises you to choose Cool mode when you need to cool quickly and keep the room temperature stable as the level selected in the first place. In Fan mode, the chiller will turn off and the fan will still run. This mode should be used when air circulation in the room is required but no cooling is required.
Dry mode will be turned on to reduce the humidity in the room. The mode is suitable for rainy and windy days when the outside humidity is high. Time to use this mode is about 1-2 hours. If used for a long time, it is easy to affect the skin such as dry hands, body skin, dry cornea, dry nasal mucosa.
Using the wrong air conditioner is not only harmful to your health but also causes your electricity bill to skyrocket
Buy the bigger the better
VnExpress quoted the Greenhouse newspaper as saying, many people think that the bigger the air conditioner, the faster the house will cool down and save energy. However, large capacity air conditioners consume unnecessarily large amounts of electricity, and it also removes very little moisture.
Therefore, when buying an air conditioner, you should determine which type to buy, how much capacity to suit the area of your home.
Place the air conditioner heater in the wrong position
The location of the air conditioner has a great impact on its efficiency, you should install it in a place with little sunlight so that the machine does not overheat and is easily damaged. The most ideal location to install the air conditioner is north or east of your house.
Let the air conditioner run 24/7
On hot days, many homes often leave the air conditioner on 24/24, but doing so will cause your electricity bill to skyrocket. If you go out for a long time, you should turn off the air conditioner to save energy. You should also set the timer to turn off at night when it's cool.
Don't turn on the blower
Electric fans and air conditioners are both effective cooling devices. But the mistake lies in the fact that we often never let them operate at the same time, but only use either a fan or an air conditioner to save electricity.
In fact, the fan and the air conditioner can work complementary to each other: the air conditioner cools, and the fan distributes cool air evenly throughout the room.
Therefore, this combined method not only saves electricity bills but also helps to reduce the capacity and working frequency of the air conditioner – making it less difficult to operate on hot days.
Do not maintain the machine regularly
Air conditioners bring air into the house and suck hot air with dust and dirt out. Therefore, in a short time, if the air filter is not used and the machine is maintained regularly, the machine can still run well but can cause many respiratory diseases for the user.
Therefore, it is recommended to regularly clean, maintain and maintain the machine to ensure the best performance, ensure air quality and save energy.
Turn off the air conditioner with the remote
Air conditioner is inherently a device that consumes a lot of power, but many users still do not know that this device still consumes a significant amount of electricity even when it is turned off by remote control. The reason is that turning off the air conditioner in this way only puts the device in the standby state, making it easy to restart the device, but they will still eat electricity with the same consumption as a light bulb.
Therefore, if you do not want to spend an extra "nonsense" fee every month, every time you turn off the air conditioner, you must turn off the power. Not only that, this also helps the device maintain its durability and prolong its life in the event of a power failure.
