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

How BTU is Related With The Area Of Room?
The price of a room air conditioner depends upon the BTU quantity.Generally small room needs low BTU capacity and large room needs higher BTU capacity.For example a small room (150 to 300 square feet),select an air conditioner of 5000 to 8000 BTU/hour.For a large room (600 to 1000 square feet) 10,000 to 15,000 BTU/hour is suitable.In the above consumption the height of the room is considered as a standard measure.If the room is not completely insulated,the height of the ceiling is very high and it is situated at south faces window,the BTU capacity of the air conditioner will be extended up to 10% probably.It should be clear to everyone that if we use lower BTU capacity in a large room,the air conditioner will turn off and on around a long time decreasing the efficiency.Again if we use air conditioner in a south facing window room,the air conditioner take more time to cool down the room.So in this case larger BTU capacity containing air conditioner should be used for lowering the electric cost.
An Air Conditioner Can Do More Than Just Cool A Room
We generally know that an air conditioner can only just cool a room.But this is quite wrong now a days as many latest technology are being added to air conditioning system for their multiple performance.In many air conditioning system built in humidifier are added for summer season.Humidifier increase the humidity at a comfortable label of a enclosed room.On the other hand a built in dehumidifier is added to an air conditioner to decrease the humidity of the enclosed room.Some models can also serve as an electric heater for warming a room.So an air conditioning system can be used in all seasons if it has the above thee characteristics.Electrostatic filter is a latest invention in recent years which can remove not only small dust particle but also micro bacteria from the air.Thus this air conditioning system provide fresh air which is realy favourable for allergy effected people.
