If your home isn't properly insulated, your air conditioner has to work harder to maintain a cool temperature.
Clogged or dirty air filters restrict airflow, making your AC system less efficient.
Older air conditioning units or those that haven't been well-maintained often operate less efficiently.
Using heat-generating appliances such as ovens, stoves, and dryers during the hottest parts of the day can make your AC work harder.
Setting your thermostat too low can cause your air conditioner to run continuously. Aim for a comfortable yet efficient temperature, typically around 24-26 degrees Celsius (75-78 degrees Fahrenheit).
Regular maintenance is crucial for keeping your AC running efficiently.
During particularly hot spells, your AC has to work much harder to maintain a cool indoor environment. This increased workload naturally leads to higher energy bills.
