Reduce Your Cooling Cost By Following Tips

The electric bill of a central or window air conditioning system can be reduced effectively following the bellow mentioned energy saving tips.

A window or central air conditioner will be bought according to the size of the room,the number of people live in that room,the number of windows facing weather south or north which affect in producing heat in the room.If the air conditioning unit is too big as compared to the room than it will work hard and cost you more

When you will buy an air conditioning unit you should look for higher EER number for reducing the electric cost.Higher EER number air conditioning unit will cost you more but it will pay for itself within one or two years by reducing electric cost.You should buy an air conditioning unit with EER number 13 or more for better performance in hot climate.

Proper maintainace is must for better performance of an air conditioning unit.So a professional sevice is requred at the biginning of each cooling season.And also the filter of the air conditioner should be replaced or cleaned for getting fresh air.

In our home cooling units are one of the largest consumer of electricity.So if you have an air conditioning unit less than 8 EER number you must replace it by higher EER containing air conditioning unit . It will cost you more but within few years it will reduce the electric bill than the previous one.

Try to avoid cook for a long time because it produces heat in the room.If we produce heat in the room the air conditioner will take more electricity to run.So we have to cook anoter seperated room which is totally insulated from air conditioning unit.

The plants around the house you live help to reduce the heat on your room.So if you want to keep your home cool you have to put drapes around the window.

Another effective process to keep your room cool is the use of window tint.Window tint obstructs sunlight to pass through the window.The dark color of a home absorb more sunlight than a bright color.So bright color should be used to keep the home cool.And thus the electric cost of the air conditioning unit can be reduced up to 30% by keeping the room cool.

Any devices that produce heat such as computer,heater,television should not be used randomly.It should should be stopped when there ther is no nesesity
