Is ECO Mode Truely Save Energy?

In summer, the most important appliance is the air conditioner. Most of the users will notice the ECO mode on the remote. It demonstrates itself as an energy-saving air conditioner or eco-friendly. However, a lot of people doubt whether it truly saves energy or it's just a slogan or gimmick.

What is ECO mode?

ECO, which originated from "economy," means energy-saving or cost-saving. The ECO mode of the air conditioner normally achieves automatic adjustment of temperature, wind speed, and the working efficiency of the compressor to keep comfort and reduce electricity consumption at the same time. In a word, it is a mode that is not too hot and not too cold but just enough.

Experience with the ECO mode

Significant energy-saving effect: If you want to use the air conditioner for a long time, then choosing the ECO mode will surely reduce power consumption.

Moderate comfort: Though room temperature will be higher than normal modes, the human body can fit it well, particularly when sleeping.

Lower noise: Less frequent start-ups on the compressor; the operation noise is decreased clearly, which is much more suitable for sleeping-sensitive users.

Who needs ECO mode?

Families sleep with the air conditioner at night.

Users who are non-sensitive to temperature.

 Families who rent or pursue energy-saving.

Consumers with environmental protection recognition.

Occasions that do not need ECO mode

Places that require fast cooling/heating.

Families with the elderly and kids who are sensitive to temperature.

High temperature difference, high operation burden period.

Is it worth turning on ECO mode?

Yes.

The ECO mode can bring about 20%-30% energy savings in most daily use scenarios, effectively reducing electricity bills without sacrificing too much comfort. So, next time you turn on the air conditioner, you might as well click the "ECO" button and let it silently save every kilowatt-hour of electricity for you!
