AC temperature: In the scorching heat, as soon as one goes out of the house, the condition becomes worse due to the heat, in such a situation people often immediately turn on the AC at the lowest temperature of 16 degrees as soon as they reach home. By doing this, people get relief from the heat, but doing this becomes very heavy on you. Now you must be thinking that why running AC at 16 degree would be heavy? Let us tell you that by doing this, the electricity bill also comes more and it is also harmful for the health of the people sitting in the AC room. Now the question arises that at what temperature the AC should be run so that electricity can be saved and it is not harmful for the health of the people sitting in the AC room. Let’s know.
What should be the minimum temperature of AC
According to the BEE (Bureau of Energy Efficiency) report, a minimum temperature of 24 degrees is perfect for people sitting in an AC room. By doing this, electricity bill is also saved and there is no bad effect on health. According to BEE, when you run the AC at a temperature of 16 or 18 degrees for a long time, then the AC air starts harming your health. BEE has also appealed to the Government of India that the government should instruct all the companies making ACs to make such ACs in which the lowest temperature is set at 24 degrees.
Does running at a temperature of 16 degrees cool down the room faster?
Many people believe that running the AC at a temperature of 16 degrees cools the room quickly by cooling quickly. Let us tell you that thinking like this is not completely correct. When you run the AC at a temperature of 16 degrees, you will feel a little better cooling, but doing so has more advantages and disadvantages. Actually, when the AC is run at a temperature of 16 or 18 degrees, then the compressor gets overloaded and electricity is consumed more. Apart from this, if the AC is run even at a temperature of 24 to 27 degrees, then it cools the room in the same time.
Economical way to use AC
Instead of setting the AC at a temperature of 16 or 18 degrees, set it at a temperature of 24 or 26 degrees. Setting AC at 24 or 26 degree will reduce electricity bill by 25% to 35% and it will be better for the environment as well. Increasing the temperature of AC by 1 degree reduces the cost of electricity by 3% to 4%. Keep the AC off when not needed and get the AC room properly insulated so that cold air does not come out.
