Why is my electric bill so high? How can I lower it?

If your air conditioner is consuming too much energy, it could indeed be the culprit behind your high electricity bills. Using proper techniques can make a significant difference in your energy consumption. Here are some tips to help you become a smarter consumer:

1. Set Your Air Conditioner Temperature Between 24-25°C: Lower temperatures consume more energy, leading to higher bills. Setting your air conditioner between 24-25°C is often considered optimal for comfort and cost savings. If it doesn't feel cool enough, check and clean the filter or consider servicing your unit.

2. Use Dry Mode: High humidity levels in a room can make it feel warmer. Dry mode reduces humidity without heavy energy use, making it more energy-efficient.

3. Keep Direct Sunlight Out: Direct sunlight can heat up your room, making your air conditioner work harder. Use thick curtains, blinds, or window tinting to minimize sunlight.

4. Regularly Maintain Your Air Conditioner: Dust and pollutants can clog your air conditioner's filter, forcing it to work harder to cool your room. Clean the filter every 3-4 weeks and schedule regular servicing to prevent leaks and other issues.

If your air conditioner's mechanism is heavily dusty, it's advisable to seek professional help for a thorough cleaning. This ensures your air conditioner operates more efficiently and saves power.
