How to reduce the floor-standing air conditioning energy consumption？

In the scorching summer heat, floor standing air conditioners are practically a lifesaver for your home, but the high electricity bills that come with them can be a real pain. With a few tips, you can easily reduce energy consumption. Here are a few practical methods.

1. Optimization of temperature and operation settings 

Set a reasonable temperature. 

The air conditioning needs to be set at about 26°C; 26°C is the energy-saving gold temperature. When using air conditioners, the energy consumption of air conditioners will increase by about 6%-10% for every 1°C decrease in temperature. 

Use the timing function. 

Get used to turning on sleep mode or timing on and off, and try to avoid empty adjustment and late operation, especially when the temperature is low at night. 

Enable energy saving or ECO mode. 

Most air conditioners have “energy-saving mode” or “ECO mode,” and the system will intelligently adjust the operating frequency to maintain comfort while saving energy. 

Pre-cooling in advance and staggered peak power consumption. 

Turn on the air conditioner early before the high temperature (such as before noon), let the room pre-cool, and help to reduce the cooling burden and save peak electricity. 

2. Use habit adjustment. 

Avoid frequent switching of the machine. 

Frequent starting and stopping will lead to frequent starting of the compressor, which is more power-consuming than continuous operation. Stable operation is recommended. 

Use with a fan. 

Cooperating with an electric fan or a circulating fan can speed up the flow of cold air and improve the comfort of the body so as to avoid the air conditioning being too low.

3. Environment and space matching 

Closing doors and windows to prevent loss of cooling air. 

Doors and windows should be closed when using air conditioning. Adding sealing strips and curtains (especially shading curtains) can effectively reduce heat and cold exchange. 

Air conditioning matching room area. 

Floor-standing air conditioners are generally suitable for large living rooms or open spaces. If the room is too small, the use of a large number of air conditioners will lead to frequent starting and stopping, which means energy consumption is higher. 

These methods are simple and practical, and their implementation can significantly reduce air conditioning energy consumption and electricity costs.
