- Right sizing: Properly sized AC uses less energy
- Set temperature wisely: 24-25°C is comfortable and efficient
- Use timer: Don't run AC when not needed
- Seal room properly: Reduce cold air leakage
AC Power Consumption by Size
| AC Size | Standard (W) | Inverter (W) |
|---|---|---|
| 1.0 HP | ~1,000W | ~700W |
| 1.5 HP | ~1,500W | ~1,050W |
| 2.0 HP | ~2,000W | ~1,400W |
| 2.5 HP | ~2,500W | ~1,750W |
Why Regular Maintenance Matters
A dirty AC unit works harder to cool the same space, consuming more electricity. Regular chemical wash can improve efficiency by 10-15%, paying for itself in energy savings.
