How to save electricity by using air conditioner in summer

Sihaiwang: air conditioning is the most important summer resort in summer. Every family likes to hide in an air-conditioned room in summer. So how to use air conditioning for a long time to save power? You must grasp the temperature of the four tricks.

How to use air conditioner and save electricity

The whole country has entered the barbecue mode, so air conditioning has become one of the necessary appliances for the majority of families. In order to save electricity and environmental protection, many people must have their own power saving tricks, but maybe these seemingly power-saving practices actually consume more electricity!

Here are four misconceptions that keep you spending your money! See if you've got it.

Idea 1: is it better to turn off the air conditioner when going out? Wrong!

When going out for a short time, in order to save electricity, most people will cut off the air conditioner and restart it after returning home.

This is actually a big misconception. Because when the air conditioner starts to operate, it needs 500-1000 watts of power consumption, and when the room temperature is consistent with the set temperature of the air conditioner, it needs about 100 watts of power consumption.

Therefore, if you only go out for 10 minutes, you'd better keep the air conditioner running, which will save electricity. If you want to save more power, it is recommended to increase the set temperature by 1 degree when you go out.

Idea 2: the lower the temperature is, the cooler it is? Wrong!

Air volume enhancement + electric fan, cool temperature at room temperature is not the only condition for human body to feel cold and hot, humidity, air flow and radiation will change the body temperature, so blindly lowering the room temperature can not completely feel comfortable.

When the human body is blowing, the body temperature drops about 2 degrees.

Therefore, instead of sticking to the air-conditioning temperature, it is better to strengthen the air volume of the air-conditioning so that the skin can feel the cold air and effectively reduce the body temperature. In addition, due to the principle of cold air drop, it can be combined with the electric fan to improve the circulation of air-conditioning.

Concept 3: does the breeze mode save more power? Wrong!

Automatic mode is the best choice. When blowing the air conditioner, adjusting the breeze mode is actually a power consumption behavior.

This is because the process is the most power consuming when the air conditioner starts to cool indoors, and when the room temperature is the same as the set temperature, the power consumption will slowly decrease. Therefore, if it is adjusted to breeze mode, it will take a lot of time and power before it is cool indoors. The automatic mode will select the most appropriate air volume and wind direction according to the room conditions. When the room is cool, the power consumption will be controlled and the set temperature will be maintained.

Idea 4: can air conditioning keep the room dry? Wrong!

Dehumidification mode is drying master! When the indoor humidity is higher, the body temperature will be higher. Although the air-conditioning mode also has dehumidification function, the dehumidification effect is worse than the drying mode, and the air-conditioning mode will also reduce the temperature and consume extra power. On the contrary, the drying mode will try to maintain the temperature uniformity and play an excellent dehumidification function.
