🌬️ Introduction
Worried about your electricity bill every time you turn on the air conditioner? You’re not alone. While ACs are essential in Indian summers, they can be heavy on your wallet if used carelessly.
The good news? You don’t need to sacrifice comfort to save money. At ChillZone, we’ve compiled 10 simple, science-backed tips to save electricity while using your AC—whether at home or in the office.
✅ 1. Set the Temperature at 24–26°C
Don’t go too low. Keeping the AC at 24–26°C is the ideal range for energy savings and comfort. Every degree lower increases energy usage by up to 6%!
✅ 2. Use Inverter ACs
Inverter technology adjusts compressor speed based on cooling needs, which means lower power consumption, especially for long-duration use.
➡ ChillZone Tip: Look for a 5-star inverter AC for maximum efficiency.
✅ 3. Keep Doors and Windows Closed
An open door or window lets the cool air out and warm air in, forcing your AC to work harder. Seal gaps and close curtains to keep the room cooler naturally.
✅ 4. Use Ceiling Fans With AC
Fans help distribute cool air evenly, letting you raise the temperature setting without feeling hot. This reduces the AC’s load and saves energy.
✅ 5. Turn on ‘Eco Mode’ or ‘Power Saver Mode’
Modern ACs come with energy-saving modes. These adjust the compressor’s workload and reduce electricity usage while maintaining comfort.
✅ 6. Clean or Replace Filters Regularly
Clogged filters make your AC work harder, leading to higher bills and poor cooling. Clean filters every 15–30 days, especially during heavy use.
✅ 7. Use a Programmable Timer
Avoid leaving the AC running unnecessarily. Use the timer or sleep mode to automatically shut off or reduce power at night.
✅ 8. Get Regular AC Servicing
Annual maintenance improves your AC’s performance and prevents energy waste due to dirty coils or gas leakage.
➡ ChillZone offers affordable servicing plans for all major AC brands.
✅ 9. Opt for ACs with Copper Coils
Copper condenser coils cool faster and are more energy-efficient than aluminum ones. They also last longer and require less maintenance.
✅ 10. Upgrade to a New Energy-Efficient AC
If your AC is over 8–10 years old, consider replacing it. New models consume up to 50% less power than older units.

💡 Bonus Tip: Use Curtains or Blinds
Direct sunlight heats up your room fast. Using blackout curtains or blinds during peak sun hours can reduce your AC’s power usage.
