8. Use AC Only Where Needed
Instead of cooling the whole house, focus on one room at a time.
- Close off unused rooms to keep the cool air where you need it.
- If you’re using a window or split AC, make sure it’s properly sized for the room. Oversized units waste energy; undersized ones overwork.
9. Cool at the Right Time
Try to avoid turning on the AC during peak sunlight hours (usually 12 PM to 4 PM).
- Instead, run it in the morning or evening when the outside temperature is lower.
- Use natural ventilation during cooler times of day to air out the house.
This strategy minimizes the temperature difference the AC has to overcome.
10. Upgrade to an Energy-Efficient Unit
If your AC is more than 10–15 years old, it may be using far more electricity than modern units.
Look for:
- Inverter ACs, which adjust power based on need, saving up to 30%–50% on energy.
- Units with a high Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) or Energy Star rating.
Though it requires an upfront investment, upgrading can lead to significant long-term savings.
Bonus Tips:
- Avoid heat-producing appliances (like ovens or dryers) during the hottest part of the day.
- Install ceiling insulation to keep heat out during summer and cool in during winter.
- Opt for light-colored curtains or blinds, which reflect heat instead of absorbing it.
