• Frequent on-off switching of non-inverter AC causes the compressor to consume more power and increase the electricity bill.
• 30 to 50 percent power savings can be achieved as the inverter controls the speed of the compressor according to the AC requirement.
• Keeping the AC temperature between 24-26°C and using sleep mode, eco mode is beneficial to save power.

AC is used the most during summer days. But some people make such mistakes while using AC, which leads to huge increase in electricity bill and stress on the pocket. Many people have a misconception that after cooling down the room, if you turn off the AC after a few minutes and turn it on again if necessary, then electricity is saved. But this is a misconception of people. Especially when the old non-inverter AC is turned on and off frequently, the electricity consumption can increase and the monthly electricity bill can also be high.

What is the reason for the increase in electricity bill?

Most of the AC energy is spent on starting the power compressor. When the AC is turned on again after being turned off, its compressor consumes a lot of electricity. If you keep turning the AC on and off every so often, the AC may consume more power after each turn on. This is the reason why switching the AC on and off every now and then does not save electricity but leads to more consumption, resulting in higher electricity bills. According to experts, this problem is more common in non-inverter ACs, as their compressor starts up using more power every time.

Problems encountered in inverter AC?

An inverter AC works a little differently. In this the compressor adjusts its speed as per requirement instead of stopping completely. This reduces power consumption after frequent switching on and off in the inverter AC. Electricity is also saved. Some reports claim that inverter ACs can save 30 to 50 percent of electricity compared to typical non-inverter AC models after long-term use. Due to this reason, the demand of Inverter AC in India has increased significantly in the last few years.

These tips will save electricity

Knowing the right way to use AC is very important if you want to save electricity. The most suitable method is to set the AC temperature between 24-26 degrees Celsius. Apart from this, features like sleep mode, eco mode and timer can also help you a lot. Additionally, it is very important that the room is completely closed while using the AC. So that outside hot air will not enter the room. If the room heats up frequently, the AC compressor will have to work harder and the electricity consumption will increase.
