As the sun cranks on Indian in summer, the northern parts of the country are feeling heat. Like really. it is hot. Now, high temperature means that your room doors will be closed, and the air conditioner will become your best friend. But this rest can give your electricity bill a red-hot, drought to your monthly budget.

This is not the worst part. Improper use of AC can also cause serious events such as electric fire – or “AC explosion.” Last year, we reported several cases of ACS explosion in homes and residential areas. So how do you remain calm without switching AC completely?

Well, here is a quick 6-point heatwave scheme to keep your home comfortable and cool-without burning a hole in your wallet.

1. Take care of your AC

Even if it is a machine without a heart, your AC still needs care. The overs definitely wears its functioning, and when you leave maintenance or if you overload it, you are asking for trouble. Always serve your AC before the summer starts. A dirty filter or clogged coil may have overheating, which, in extreme cases, can trigger small circuits. So cleaning and care is a step.

Additionally, keep the power load separate. Never plug your AC into a shared extension cord with a fridge or microwave. Use a dedicated strength point with proper earthing to distribute the electrical load evenly.

2. 24 degree sweet place

Setting your AC at 18 ° C will not change your room at any rapidly in Shimla – this will only make your AC task hard and push your electricity bill. According to the Bureau of Energy Efficiency, 24 degree C is recommended temperature. Additionally, every degree less than 24 degrees your energy consumption increases by 6 percent.

So, 24 degrees are considered to be humans, power-efficient and kind for your health-offering balance between comfort and energy efficiency.

3. Fan plus is AC power duo

When the AC is on, is the sealing fan turned in vain? think again. Using a fan with your AC helps to transmit cold air rapidly, so you do not feel cold in one place and warm in another. The fan helps your AC to cool the room evenly-this is an OG power-spacing pair.

4. Curtain room

Sunlight can be very good for selfie, but not for your room temperature. So when you turn on the AC, close the curtain during the day to block the heat. You can also install reflective window movies to heat that heat back. And be sure to close the doors and windows – or the cold air will survive, and the hot air from the outside will be secret from inside, which will make your AC work hard.

5. Switch to an energy star machine

Still using that old AC since 2010? That machine is probably a power of electrical thunder. Modern 5-star rated AC consumes 50 percent less power. Even a 4-star is a good upgrade based on your budget. Simply say, the more the stars use as much energy – and the more you save.

6. Timer and Sleep Mode

If you are like that on the AC all day and forget that you are not in the room, then it is time to change that habit. Turn on only AC when necessary and use timer or sleep mode at bedtime. This mode allows the AC to gradually increase the temperature, while you sleep, ensure rest without continuous cooling. It can also be set to close automatically after 6 to 8 hours.
