Energy Saving Tips

1. Relaxing room temperature at night is OK: During the nighttime hours you
don't require the same level of conscious cooling or heating. Try using Sleep
mode to gradually relax room temperature and allow the unit to run less and save
energy.
2.Curtains and shades: In the summer, you need to block the effects of the sun.
Close window curtains and shades on the south and west side of your home to
help block solar heat. In winter, the sun is your friend. Open curtains and shades
to allow solar heat into your room.
3.Close doors: If you don't need to heat and cool your whole home, confine the
heating and cooling to one room by closing doors. Limit the space you're heating
and cooling to specified capability of the unit.
4.Service the unit: Some basic maintenance might be all you need. The outdoor
unit will greatly benefit from a good hosing out, especially in treed areas where
seeds and other debris can stick to coil fins and make the unit work harder!
5.Rearrange the room: Furniture that obstructs airflow means you could be
heating and cooling the back of a chair or the front of a sofa instead of the actual
living space. Use the swing louvers to help direct the air in the right direction for
the room; remove or rearrange obstacles blocking airflow.
6.Try 75 degrees: 75℉(24 ) is a good point for an air conditioner to run at its ℃
optimal performance level. Even a 1-degree change in temperature can make
your unit use more energy!
7.Lighting: Turning lights off can help reduce your heat. Each light bulb is a tiny
heater. Your air conditioner must waste energy overcoming the heat from your
lights to reach and hold your desired room temperature.
8.Is anyone home? If possible, while you're away turn your unit to Auto mode and
make sure windows and drapes are closed. Although the room temperature will be
uncomfortable for a few minutes when you come home, the unit will have the room
back to your desired temperature in no time.
9.Don't forget the fan: The fan is much like a car. The faster it runs, the more
energy is consumed. Sometimes we need the car to go fast, but slow is good
enough most of the time. Try saving money by using the comfortable quiet low fan
speed as much as possible.
