Nowadays, the demand for choosing to buy energy-saving air conditioners is quite popular in hot weather conditions. Below are some features that show the power saving ability of air conditioners to help consumers easily choose.

Energy label

According to the regulations of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, all air conditioners circulating in the Vietnamese market must have an energy label. The energy label notes 1-5 stars along with parameters related to the origin, evaluation standards, and energy consumption efficiency of the product. The more stars, the more energy-saving the machine is. 5 stars is the most energy-saving level.

Inverter Technology

Inverter air conditioners are a familiar choice when it comes to energy saving. This device can save 30-60% of electricity consumption costs thanks to the use of inverter technology compressors.

Automatic temperature control sensor

Some air conditioner manufacturers integrate infrared sensors to detect the movement and location of users in the room to adjust the appropriate temperature, contributing to saving energy consumption.

For example, the intelligent eye feature. If there is no movement within 20 minutes, the machine will automatically increase the set temperature by 2 degrees Celsius. Conversely, if movement is detected, the sensor will make the machine operate at the initially set temperature.

Other features

Some brands have energy-saving features such as precise temperature adjustment to 0.5 degrees Celsius, Econo mode or Sleep mode when going to bed.

In addition, you should choose a product with a Microchannel radiator. This technology improves heat transfer area and air flow compared to conventional radiators, helping the machine save electricity and increase durability.

Using air conditioning properly is also a secret to help save energy effectively. Specifically, you should not set the air conditioning temperature too low but should maintain the room temperature at 26-27 degrees Celsius to save electricity and protect your health.

In case you need to leave the house for a short time (less than 30 minutes), there is no need to turn off the air conditioner, to avoid the machine having to reload from the beginning, wasting a lot of energy.
