3. How do I save on my bill?
Service Your Unit
Some basic maintenance might be all your air conditioner needs and make the unit work 15% harder

Check your vents
We strongly recommend you check your vents and make sure they are all open and more importantly the positioning of the vents. It is always best to point the vents towards the roof or the sides of the room.

Try 24 degrees Celsius
24 degrees Celsius is a good point for an air conditioner to run at its optimal performance level. Taking your temperature even 4 degrees lower can make your air conditioner use up to 25% more energy!

Warmer at Night Is OK
During the night time hours, you don't require the same level of conscious cool. Try turning your AC down (so it is running less) during your sleep hours or an hour or two before bed.

Lighting
Paying attention to how much light you let in from open windows can also play a significant role; it makes a huge difference in how much heat your bought air is competing against.

Clothe your windows
Solar screens, or mesh-like window screens, intercept up to 70 percent of solar energy before it gets into the house.

Is Anyone Home?
If you can, while you're away turn your AC off and your fans on only. Sure it will be a little uncomfortable when you return but it will save you a lot when paying your bills.

Portable Fans:
Having a portable fan keeps the air regulating and helps in maintaining the desired temperature taking the stress of your air conditioner.
