 | Ensure
that the air-conditioning unit is properly sized for your home. Operating a unit,
which is either too large or too small, is highly inefficient. It is also more
energy efficient to install a split unit if you are cooling more than one room. |
| Clean
the air filter regularly and have your air conditioner inspected annually. An
annual inspection of your cooling system may extend the life of your equipment
and help you to save money by lowering your energy bills. Poorly maintained air
conditioners can waste a tremendous amount of energy. |
| Set
the thermostat at an ideal temperature of 25oC. |
| Close
windows and doors when your air-conditioner is in use. |
| Keep
your house cool by using awnings, blinds and solar reflecting film on the windows. |
