Air Conditioner Energy Saving Tips

Here are some tips to help you save energy with your room air conditioner:

  • Select a medium to warm thermostat setting. 78 degrees Fahrenheit is a comfortable summer temperature for most people.
  • Clean the filter every month, or as needed, during cooling season.
  • Do not block the air flow with furniture.
  • Do not operate the unit while you are away. If possible, use a timer to turn the unit on shortly before you get home.
  • Make sure that there is a good seal between the unit and the window to prevent air leaks.
