In the hot season, people often feel uncomfortable and worried because of the scorching hot weather and the cost of electricity due to the need to use air conditioning. In addition, due to changes in people's living environments, air conditioners are increasingly used. Therefore, selecting a suitable air-conditioning product for consumers will correspond to a reasonable price and other costs.
Modern technology goes hand in hand with efficiency
Managing the electricity cost of a household is a tricky thing. However, there are still many innovative ways to help users control their electricity costs effectively, especially in the summer.
At Mitsubishi Electric, the company has applied modern technologies in air conditioners such as PAM inverter technology, high-efficiency compressors, and anti-fouling double coating technology to improve efficiency and reduce costs for consumers use.
Usually, the power consumption of air conditioners accounts for 30–40% of total daily energy use. So even a slight reduction in electricity consumption is a small step toward a greener future.
Currently, Mitsubishi Electric's air conditioners are more environmentally friendly and buyers' wallets. Choosing the right product helps the buyer be more profitable in the long run. Here are a few tips to help you stay relaxed and comfortable all summer with Mitsubishi Electric air conditioners.
Refrigeration capacity as well as an energy label
First of all, choosing an air conditioner should be based on room capacity, which is also an effective way of energy management. E.g.:
- With 1.0 hp, it can meet rooms under 15 m2.
- With 1.5hp, meet the room 15-20m2.
- With a 2.0hp, a suitable room of 20–30 m2.
- With 2.5Hp, it is suitable for rooms over 30m2.
Currently, Mitsubishi Electric's air conditioners have a cooling capacity range from 1.0 to 3.0 hp, suitable for many different room sizes.
Another helpful way to manage power is to choose products by their energy label. For example, the air conditioner will save more electricity and be more environmentally friendly with a higher energy label. Therefore, instead of using an air conditioner labeled with two stars, use an air conditioner with a rating of 4–5 stars to cut down on your monthly electricity bill.
Proper room insulation
In addition to room capacity, ambient temperature and the length of the pipeline to be installed also influence energy consumption factors. Both of these factors are inversely proportional to power consumption. That's why insulating your home is the best solution to extreme ambient temperatures.
Some users believe that good insulation offers many benefits, such as:
- It keeps your home cool all year round.
- Reduce your electricity bills.
Another reason consumers don't pay attention is noise control. So make sure all doors and windows have specific seals to keep cool air in. In addition, the conduit should be placed appropriately by skilled, honest workers.
Inverter technology saves energy effectively
In addition to the known savings by many users, another highlight of the Mitsubishi Electric inverter air conditioner is the PAM Control controller on Mitsubishi Electric air conditioners capable of controlling the wave of the current so that it corresponds to the source voltage wave. As a result, it effectively consumes 98% of the input power, avoiding energy loss during use. In addition, this controller also can increase voltage, improve operating capacity, and make the air conditioner operate more powerfully and cool more efficiently.
Therefore, this product is famous in Vietnam. With inverter air conditioners, the fan speed changes in perfect synchronization with the compressor's speed. Thus, after reaching the set temperature, the machine will automatically decelerate to maintain the set temperature, helping to save more money.
Keep the temperature at 24 degrees Celsius
One of the ways to effectively save electricity by about 25% on electricity costs is to always set the temperature to 24–25 degrees Celsius instead of 20–21 degrees Celsius. Conversely, if the temperature is set to a lower level, it will cause the compressor to operate at maximum capacity for a long time. As a result, the system will consume more power to maintain the desired temperature.
Accordingly, there are four main factors:
- Room temperature.
- Outside temperature.
- Desired temperature from the air conditioner.
- Insulation of the room.
From there, determine the electrical load of the air conditioner. If there is a significant difference between the desired and outdoor temperatures, the compressor will operate for a longer time, which means more electricity is consumed.
Preventive maintenance
Last but not least is preventive maintenance to ensure smooth machine operation.
You should do some preventive maintenance on your old tools every two years.
Furthermore, filter cleaning should be done regularly, every 7 to 15 days. Because not doing preventive maintenance for more than six months can lead to a 25% increase in your electricity bill.
