Setting Air Conditioners to 24°C Can Improve Efficiency and Lower Bills
Setting air conditioners to 24 degrees Celsius can improve cooling efficiency and reduce electricity consumption by about 6% per degree, potentially saving around Rs 800 monthly. Modern inverter ACs adjust compressor speed for stable cooling, but inefficient usage like setting very low temperatures, leaving doors open, or neglecting filter cleaning can increase power bills. Experts recommend sensible temperature settings, maintaining airflow, and regular filter cleaning to optimize comfort and energy savings during hot seasons.
