SUMMER HEAT IS ON!
To maximize the usage and savings on electricity. You must know some
TIPS for a cooler summer!
•Set the proper temperature
For a comfortable and energy-efficient cooling experience, Meralco recommends setting the AC at 24 or 25 degrees Celsius.
•Clean the air filter
When dust and debris clog an inverter aircon filter, it disrupts the airflow, forcing the machine to work harder and resulting in higher energy costs.
•Close the Curtains or Blinds
It is advisable to keep your curtains or blinds closed during the day to block direct sunlight and keep a room cooler. This will reduce the burden on your AC and maintain a comfortable temperature.
•Use an Electric Fan
Using an electric fan can circulate cool air, allowing for a thermostat increase of up to four degrees.
•Ensure Proper Insulation
Seal gaps in the room to reduce the energy consumption of your aircon. Common areas where air can pass through are windows, walls, ceilings, and doors. Inspect and seal these places to optimize performance and save energy.
•Install Recommended Aircon size
The right-size Aircon unit cools better, avoiding unnecessary energy consumption, reducing utility bills, and has a longer lifespan.
