Correct use of AC:
With the start of hot summer season and regular use of air conditioners, let's follow the correct method.
Most people have a habit of running their ACs at 20-22 degrees and when they feel cold, they cover their bodies with blankets. This leads to a double loss. How???
Did you know that our body temperature is 35 degrees Celsius? The body can easily tolerate temperatures between 23 degrees and 39 degrees. This is called human body temperature tolerance.
When the room temperature is too low or too high, the body reacts by sneezing and shivering.
When the AC is on there is mostly no sweat, so the body's toxins cannot get out, and in the long run there is a risk of many diseases like skin allergies or itching, high blood pressure etc.
When you run the AC at such low temperature, it keeps the compressor running at full power, even if it is 5 star rated, more power is consumed & it wastes money from your pocket.
What is the best way to run AC?? Set temperatures at 26 degrees or higher.
First setting the AC temperature to 20 - 21 will not give you any benefit, then It is always better to run the AC at 26+ degrees and keep the fan on slow speed. 28 plus degrees is ideal.
It consumes less electricity, and your body temperature is also within range, and there is no harm to your health.
Another advantage of this is that the AC will consume less electricity, the blood pressure on the brain will also decrease and the savings will ultimately help reduce the effects of global warming. How??
Let's say you save 5 units per night by running AC in 10 lakh houses at 26+ degrees, then we save 5 million units of electricity per day.
At the regional level this saving could be crores of units per day.
Please consider the above and do not run your AC below 26 degrees. Keep your body and environment healthy.
