Tips for optimal use of air conditioning during the changing seasons

During the changing seasons, the weather fluctuates in temperature and humidity. If you do not use the air conditioner properly, your family's electricity bill at the end of the month can easily increase.

Many people think that when you have an air conditioner, turning on the fan is unnecessary because it will waste electricity. But in fact, using both the air conditioner and the fan will help your electricity bill at the end of the month lighter. The reason is that when you turn on the fan, the cold air in the room is circulated, helping you feel cooler. Thanks to that, you can increase the temperature of the air conditioner while still being comfortable. Then, the air conditioner does not have to operate at high capacity to cool every corner, helping to save energy optimally.

After a period of use, the air conditioner will accumulate a lot of dust, especially the filter. This is the reason why the air conditioner's cooling capacity is reduced, the wind blows weakly, and the noise increases. Therefore, you need to ensure regular cleaning of the air conditioner every 2 weeks to 1 month depending on the environment of use, as well as maintenance of the air conditioner every 6 months to 1 year to check the condenser.

The initial cooling time always consumes the most energy of the air conditioner. Turning it off and on again continuously in a short time will consume a lot of electricity, directly affecting the cost of electricity. At the same time, this also damages the compressor and circuit board. Therefore, energy experts recommend that if you only leave the room for 10-15 minutes, you do not need to turn off the air conditioner. In case you leave the room for more than 20 minutes, especially for 1 hour or more, you should turn off the device to save electricity.

The location of the air conditioner also directly affects the cooling of the room. Accordingly, the condenser should be placed in a place where both the air intake and exhaust have clear air paths. You also need to arrange the condenser away from engine oil vapor, electronic ballast fluorescent lamps, heat sources or steam as well as not be exposed to direct sunlight. With the condenser, you need to place it in a solid position to withstand the weight and vibration of the machine; the space needs to be enough for air circulation and there must be no obstacles around the intake and exhaust air paths. Because the condenser operation will cause noise, the installation area needs to ensure that the sound from the device does not affect the family as well as the neighbors.

Most importantly, to comfortably enjoy a cool space while still saving electricity, consumers should choose air conditioners that meet TCVN 7830:2021 (*) standards. This is the latest national standard on energy efficiency for air conditioners. In the current market, Daikin wall-mounted air conditioners are one of the most outstanding products in terms of energy saving ability. For 5 consecutive years (from 2020 to 2024), Daikin was honored by the Ministry of Industry and Trade as "The most energy-efficient air conditioner brand". In 2024, 20 Daikin air conditioner models achieved a 5-star energy label, the highest level for energy saving ability.

Accordingly, Daikin FTKY and FTKB series civil air conditioners meet 5-star standards according to new energy standards thanks to the combination of energy-saving technology with Swing compressors, exclusive DC motors and Inverter technology as well as smart eye technology. Inverter technology uses high-performance compressors, increasing the load to maximum frequency when the machine is turned on, helping to cool quickly, operate smoothly, reduce power loss, thereby helping to save monthly electricity bills. Meanwhile, smart eye technology (only available in FTKY) prevents energy loss by using infrared sensors to detect human movement in the room. If there is no movement within 20 minutes, the smart eye will automatically adjust the set temperature to increase by about 2 degrees, helping to limit the turning on and off of the air conditioner, which wastes electricity, thereby providing peace of mind in operation.

Saving energy while still providing optimal cooling is the advantage that most users feel when using the new generation of Daikin air conditioners. With the Daikin FTKB and FTKY air conditioners, the secret lies in the comfort airflow mode equipped on the machine, preventing wind from blowing directly on the human body. This setting redirects the airflow up to the ceiling, the cold air spreads down and slowly covers you like a soft blanket. With this feature, users do not need to turn on the fan but still feel comfortable. Possessing a series of outstanding features, Daikin FTKB air conditioners in particular, Daikin wall-mounted air conditioners in general are essential items you should equip for your living space.
