Many people keep the AC on for most of the day to get relief from the scorching heat. However, there are different opinions about how much AC temperature should be kept. Some prefer to run the AC at 22 or 24 degrees, while others choose 27 degrees to save electricity.
But what actually happens if you run the AC at 27 degrees Celsius for a long time?
1. Power consumption is relatively low
The lower the temperature the AC is set, the harder the compressor has to work. When set to 27 degrees, the AC depressurizes faster and uses less electricity. As a result, the bill comes relatively less at the end of the month.
2. The house is comfortable
Many times running the AC at 22 or 23 degrees makes the room too cold. 27 degrees is a temperature where most people feel comfortable. The room is neither too cold nor too hot.
3. Less stress on the body
Extreme heat outside and extreme cold indoors can be uncomfortable for the body. It can also cause problems like cold, sore throat or headache. A temperature of 27 degrees keeps the body in a relatively normal environment.
4. AC life can be extended
Regularly running the AC at very low temperatures puts extra stress on the components. By operating at 27 degrees, the compressor has to work less time, so the AC performance can be better for a long time.
5. Also beneficial for the environment
Less power consumption means less fuel consumption for power generation. As a result, carbon emissions are also slightly reduced. So along with saving energy, it can also play a role in protecting the environment.
But not the same for everyone
If the outside temperature is extremely high or there are many people in the house, 27 degrees may not be cold enough in some cases. In that case, using AC with fan gives better results.
