Good news, there are effective ways to cut down on energy consumption to save money, and you will find these air conditioning energy saving tips very helpful in lowering your home’s monthly utility bill:

1. As it gets cooler at night, especially after midnight, most people still keep their air conditioners operating at the same temperature settings as during the day. Lowering the temperature setting at night, or even switching to the fan if possible, is an excellent way to lower energy consumption.
2. By utilising the timer setting on the remote or wired controller, you can program it to turn off a few hours after you sleep which should give you plenty of time to fall asleep comfortably without worrying about power consumption.
3. By turning the AC on earlier during the day at a higher temperature can in fact save you power and strain on your system as this keeps the house at a neutral temperature and saves the system from overworking and overheating.
4. By utilising the fan setting, you can use your AC on the fan only setting – acting as a pedestal fan and moving cool air around the area. Sometimes, it just isn’t hot enough to run the cooling but also it is warm enough to be uncomfortable! Take advantage of the fan setting and save up to 70% of electricity usage. 
5. By upgrading your old AC, this can dramatically reduce your future energy costs. As technology advances over time, so does the improvements and efficiency of air conditioning. We have come across units that use the same amount of electricity to cool a bedroom as it does to cool a whole house! 
6. In Australia, we are lucky enough to have very strict consumer laws. With this, it is mandatory for all electrical appliances to have a energy star rating that shows the energy usage of that appliance. Taking advantage of this can help you choose the right appliance for your home. Daikin are the only company to have a 7-star rating air conditioner! 
7. Lastly, designing your air conditioning to tailor directly to you can really make the most difference. Instead of a centralised AC – heating and cooling all areas at the same time, why not go for a multi head system. This can still heat and cool all areas at the same time but the best thing is you use what you turn on. Not all areas are occupied at the same time which makes a centralised system a waste of money, by breaking it up you are only using what you turn on and the best thing about it is you have more individual climate control! 

While these simple air conditioning energy saving tips for home are known by most people; honestly, many don’t diligently follow them. However, there is an easier way; Daikin Air Conditioners have advanced control systems and are more energy-efficient, more reliable and quieter than older air conditioners, making them the ideal solution to home energy-saving concerns.
