An air-conditioner is one of the best things that have been invented to increase the comfort of human beings and there is nothing better than cooling of an air-conditioned room during summers. While the comfort factor is well publicized and marketed by all manufacturers, dealers and retailers, one aspect that is always ignored is the fact that they consume a lot of electricity. The consumption can increase multi-folds if the equipment is not taken care of and maintained properly. To ensure that you use your air-conditioner in the most effective way, while at the same time not consuming too much of electricity, all you need to do is to follow certain simple guidelines.

There are lots of precautions you can take to make sure that your air-conditioner works very effectively, gives you good cooling and consumes as much as less power as possible. One of the most basic steps that you should take is not to cool the room too excessively. Excessive cooling is a waste of electricity as well as unhealthy. Always start cooling the room as early as possible, before the actual heat starts heating the room. Thus, the amount of power required to heat the room shall be much less than what is required if the air-conditioner is turned on after the heat catches up. To ensure this, you need to make sure that you do not heat the room too much. To do this, you need to prevent direct sunlight into the room by using curtains, sun shades or sun films. Also, keep the windows and doors closed while cooling is on, so that you have no loss of cool air.

A few other tips to ensure that your equipment does not develop any issues is by making sure that the unit in the rear of the air-conditioner is not blocked. This is because if there is no air circulation, heat cannot be discharged, thus resulting in short circuiting. The power chord also should be the exact length as recommended by the manufacturer. Always make sure that you follow guidelines as mentioned in the manual and also that any repairs should be carried out by the representative of the manufacturer, who is authorized to do the same. Always make sure that the filter is cleaned regularly as a clogged filter can reduce the efficiency of the equipment. Also, ensure that regular servicing is done to check the gas pressure and the condition of the wiring inside. Another important factor is to make sure that you keep no heating apparatus in close proximity to the air-conditioner, as heat generated out of this unit shall not only hamper cooling but also cause trouble for the air-conditioner.
