YOGYAKARTA Air Conditioning or Air Conditioner (AC) usage affects electricity consumption bills. However, users can remain frugal and avoid waste by adjusting the air conditioner temperature appropriately. Then, how much is the air conditioner temperature to save electricity?

What has been misunderstood so far is that AC users will set the air conditioner at 18 degrees Celsius to make the room cool faster. It turns out that the assumption is wrong. The time it takes for a cold room, either when tuning 18 degrees or 26 degrees, is the same. Then what is the right standard temperature for air conditioning?

Quoted from various sources, the standard air conditioner temperature is 24 degrees Celsius. It should be noted that every room cooler temperature increase per degree can be saved up to 6 percent of the electrical energy. The lower the temperature, the compressor will work longer so that electricity bills will increase. That way when you allow AC to work at a standard temperature of 24 degrees Celsius, the electricity bill can be more efficient.

You can also consider the temperature in the living environment. When living in an area with a temperature of 34 degrees Celsius and above during the day, you can set the air conditioner 10 degrees lower than the environmental temperature. The tuning is enough for the body to feel cool considering that the average normal body temperature is 36 to 37 degrees.

In addition to adjusting the air conditioner temperature appropriately, you must also consider other factors, for example, closing doors, windows, ventilation, or other holes in the room so that the cold air generated from the air conditioner does not leak.

In addition, try not to hit the sun directly into the room. How to block it can use a curtain. In addition, turn off hot electronic devices such as refrigerators, televisions, stoves, computers, and so on. When the tool is active, the cold air will disappear quickly.
