According to experts, the reason why users of inverter air conditioners still experience an increase in electricity bills is due to buying a unit with a lower power capacity than what is required to cool the room. This causes the air conditioner to operate beyond its capacity, resulting in higher electricity consumption and inadequate cooling. In addition, the loud noise generated by the air conditioner is also a drawback. Therefore, it is important for users to purchase an inverter air conditioner with the correct power capacity in order to save energy.
Furthermore, the installation location of the air conditioner is also crucial in determining its energy efficiency. The outdoor unit should be placed in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and other heat sources such as the kitchen or oven.
It is recommended to avoid installing the outdoor unit in areas with high pollution, humidity, or exposure to chemicals, as these factors can corrode the unit and reduce its lifespan. Additionally, positioning the cooling fan of the outdoor unit perpendicular to the direction of the wind helps enhance the heat dissipation ability of the device.
The optimal distance between the outdoor and indoor units is when the length of the refrigerant pipe is no more than 5 meters and the height difference is not more than 3 meters. This is the ideal distance for efficient operation of the air conditioner.
It is not advisable to set the air conditioner to a very low temperature.
Many people have the habit of setting the air conditioner to a very low temperature (16-18 degrees Celsius) as soon as they enter the room in order to quickly cool it down. However, this is a common mistake and should be avoided. Setting the temperature too low requires the air conditioner to operate at full capacity to reach the desired temperature, resulting in higher energy consumption.
With the inverter technology, the air conditioner automatically adjusts its power output to achieve the desired temperature and then reduces its power consumption to maintain a stable temperature, without requiring manual adjustments.
Some people have the habit of turning off the air conditioner when they feel that the room temperature is cool enough, and then turning it back on when the room becomes hot again, thinking that this will save electricity. However, each time the air conditioner is turned off and on in this manner, it has to restart the cooling process and operate at high capacity again to reduce the temperature. This unknowingly leads to increased energy consumption instead of energy savings.
When using an inverter air conditioner, it is recommended to install a voltage stabilizer to prevent damage to the circuitry and improve the durability and energy efficiency of the unit.
Additionally, regular cleaning and maintenance are essential for optimal performance and energy efficiency of the air conditioner. Failure to clean the fan blades and air filters regularly can result in poor air circulation, reduced cooling efficiency, and increased energy consumption.
