Five ways to cut your air-con bill
Things you can do today without a new unit.

1. Set 25–26 °C
Each degree higher reduces the load; use a fan to spread the air.
2. Rinse filters every two weeks
Rinse in plain water and let them dry before refitting.
3. Close curtains against the sun
Especially in rooms with afternoon sun.
4. Let the outdoor unit breathe
Keep at least 30 cm clear in front of it.
5. Clean on schedule
Clean coils exchange heat better, so the unit works less.
