 A common AC mistake that adds significantly to the electricity bill is the onset of summer and which means the use of air conditioners (ACs) is also going to increase.

Currently, the cost of electricity in Pakistan is at an all-time high, which means that using an AC will increase the bills significantly. Does it add up too much?

Yes, this is indeed a mistake that most AC users make.

That is to reduce the AC temperature significantly so that the room or house can be cooled quickly.


For example, if you lower the AC temperature from 26 degrees to 16 degrees with the expectation that it will cool the room quickly, know that it will not. Cool down.

So lowering the temperature from 26 degrees to 16 degrees means that the AC has to work for longer which in turn increases the electricity bill.

This is because the ACA thermostat switches off the compressor only after reaching the desired temperature.

When you lower the temperature, it means that the compressor has to run longer to reach the desired temperature. But this not only increases the electricity bill, but also the lifespan of the AC system. Also decreases.

If you don't know, it is possible to reduce the electricity bill by increasing the temperature of the AC instead of lowering it.

Similarly, lowering the AC temperature too much increases the risk of headaches, dry eyes and skin, and bone problems.
