Coming back to our topic, with the temperature on Earth reaching its peaks, it becomes very essential to make use of Air Conditioners in hot countries like India. As summers arrive we start using Air Conditioners extensively which not only increases electricity bill but also increases Global warming. As hot summers are starting in India at this time of writing this blog, let us know How to use air conditioner efficiently, reduce electricity bill and also reduce green house gas emissions caused due to extensive use of Air Conditioners and thus minimize Global warming.
How to use air conditioner efficiently?
Most people have habit of running their Air Conditioners (AC) in range of 20 degree Celsius to 22 degree Celsius and when they start feeling cold, they cover their body with blankets. This leads to Double Loss, how? lets find out.
Do you know that the temperature of our body is 37 degree Celsius? Our body can Tolerate temperature ranging from 23 degree Celsius to 39 degree Celsius very easily. It is called Human Body Temperature Tolerance. When the room temperature is lower or higher, the body reacts by showing symptoms like sneezing or shivering etc.
When you run the AC at 19-20-21 degree Celsius, the room temperature is much lower than the normal body temperature and it starts the process of hypothermia in the body which affects blood circulation, whereby blood supply in some parts of the body is not adequate. There are many disadvantages in long term such as arthritis etc.
Most of the time there is no sweating when AC is ON, so the toxins of the body can not come out and in the long term, cause risk of many more diseases, such as skin allergy, or itching, high blood pressure etc.
When you run AC st such low temperatures, it's compressor continuously works on full energy, even if it is 5 star rated AC, excessive power is consumed and it blows money from your pocket.
What is the best way to run AC?
Set up temperature for 26 degrees or more. You don't get any benefit by first setting temperature to 20-21 degrees and then wrap sheet/thin Quilt around you. It is always better to run AC at 26+ degrees and put the fan on at slow speed. 28 degrees or above is even better.
This will not only help in causing less electricity but will also benefit as the temperature will be in the acceptable range and there will be no ill effect on your health.
As you will be setting temperature to 26+ degrees, compressor of your AC will run at low speeds thereby consuming less energy and giving you better efficiency. This means less number of units of electricity will be used thereby resulting in reduction in effects of Global Warming.
Suppose you save about 5 units per AC per night by running your AC on 26+ degrees and other 10 Lakh houses also start following your trend and start using their AC on 26+ Degrees then we will save 5 million units of electricity per night.
At regional level this savings can be crores of units per day. Please consider the above and do not run your AC at all below 26 degrees. Keep you body and environment healthy.
