Now you cannot get complete freedom to set your air conditioner (AC) temperature with free will. The central government is considering that a fixed operating temperature of ACS be fixed – that is, you will not be able to set a very cold or very hot temperature.

Its aim is to save electricity and increase energy efficiency.

How much difference does it make from just 1 ° C?
You can wonder what difference will be made by decreasing or increasing the temperature of 1 degree – but the difference is big!

Reduction of temperature is 3% to 6% more power.

While increasing 1 ° C can save about 50 watts every hour.

For example, if you run AC at 25 ° C instead of 24 ° C, you save electricity every hour – and this savings turn into good money in a month.

Electricity saving = advantage of pocket
If a 1.5 ton’s 5-star inverter AC runs at 24 ° C, it consumes about 1 unit of electricity every hour.

If you run 8 hours daily and do the temperature 25 ° C, then you can save about ₹ 100 to ₹ 150 every month.

Throughout the year, it can reach ₹ 1200 to ₹ 2000 – without any hard work!

Not just temperature, correct model is also necessary
Energy saving depends not only at temperature, but also on your AC model and rating:

5-star rating AC accounts to eat less power.

Inverter ACs are automatically adjusted according to the requirement of the room.

Along with good insulation, clean filters, and fans, more power is saved.

Government’s thinking – small changes, big benefits
There is a huge power demand in cities in summer – like Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai.

The government wants small changes to save electricity at the national level and reduce the burden of power grid.

Set the default temperature of AC to 24 ° C or 25 ° C – This can be the beginning of this policy.

Now what next?
The government is considering this proposal.

Soon a guideline may come, in which the default temperature of AC will be fixed at 24 ° C or 25 ° C.

Manufacturers can be asked to make ACS with a pre -set temperature.

However, users can get freedom to change temperature in a limited range (eg 24-26 ° C).
