How to get the most out of your AC?

When sun rounds on our heads, nothing comes first to mind than switching on the AC button. People can’t resist themselves from using air conditioners. This automatically increases the electricity bills. So, if you want to save money while using the AC, here are a few tips you can consider following: 
 
Check the stars 
As we all know, all types of air conditioners come with a star rating, be it a 3-Star, 4-Star or a 5-Star rating; it is also known as Energy Efficiency rating, or shortly known as EER. Bringing an air conditioner with more stars will consume less electricity, thus allow you to save money and make a great investment in your funds. 

Switch on the fan
While using AC, don’t forget to switch on the ceiling fan. A fan helps to circulate the cool air in all the directions, hence provide proper cooling in your room. It costs you less, as it doesn’t consume that much units. Usually, a fan costs 30-50 paise/hour, while an AC cost Rs 10-15/hour. 

Clean the filter
It’s important to clean the filter on a daily basis if you really want to get the best of your AC. Regular cleaning reduces the energy consumption up to 10%.  To get started, take out the inside grill, wash it with warm water, rinse and soak it properly. 

Cover the AC
If you want to boost the efficiency of your air conditioner, then it’s important to protect it from direct attack of sunlight. Also, make sure to keep a distance between your AC and electrical appliances, such as televisions and lamps. These appliances produce heat, that makes AC to run for a longer time than needed.
