Summer is Coming… Is Your AC Ready?

Is your air conditioning prepared for the summer season? Your air conditioner need some maintenance tips to ensure excellent performance for the warmer months ahead? 

 

As we gear up for the summer heat soon, your air conditioning is bound to be your closest friend, in providing a welcome relief from the excess heat and humidity outside. To make sure your AC is ready to handle the rising heat effectively, here are some key maintenance tips you need to do.  By following these simple and straight forward tips you can enhance the efficiency of your air conditioner guaranteeing a cool and cost effective summer experience

5-Air conditioning tips to enhance efficiency and reduce Electricity Bills 

1. Clean Your AC Filters for Better Airflow

One of the ways to get your air conditioner ready for summer is by cleaning air filters as they tend to collect dirt and dust over time leading to reduced airflow efficiency and increased energy consumption of up to 15%. Keeping the filters clean ensures airflow so that your AC can efficiently cool the room by pulling in hot air.

2. Check the Gas Pressure

Another important factor in your AC’s performance is its gas pressure. Low refrigerant levels, often known as Freon, can significantly impact your air conditioner's cooling ability. Before the summer heat arrives, it's wise to have a professional technician check your gas pressure. Maintaining proper refrigerant levels helps your system run efficiently and can prevent higher energy costs.

3. Set the Right Temperature—24°C for Comfort & Savings

Operating at the optimal temperature is important for comfort and cost savings. The most commonly used setting for most air conditioners is around 24°C. Every degree dropped in the temperature increases power consumption between 5% to 10%. Keeping your AC at 24°C is just like getting your car to run at its optimal speed in perfect comfort. Avoid setting the temperature too low, as this can strain your system and increase your electricity bills.

4. Use Bharat Smart Plug to Monitor, Schedule, and Control Consumption

AC is important in summer, managing its energy usage is also equally important. This is where the Bharat Smart Plug (BSP) comes in handy. You can monitor and control the energy consumption of your AC from your smartphone by connecting it to the Bharat Smart Plug. You can also set schedules so that the AC runs only when necessary and does not run for longer periods than required. This smart device will allow you to enjoy comfort while being energy-efficient, giving you full control over your electricity usage without sacrificing coolness.

5. Additional Maintenance Tips for Optimal Performance

• Clear the Condensation Pipe & Vents: You must ensure there is no stagnation of water from your air-conditioner. Regularly inspecting and clear condensate pipe will help with clearing blockages, if any algae found inside the condensate pipe using bleach; ensure the vent is cleaned.
• Get Professional Servicing: Take a professional mechanic's inspection of your air conditioner before peak summer season begins. They can inspect the condition of the compressor and the level of refrigerant within it and other components and evaluate the air conditioner health and performance.
