With the mercury reaching “red” and high temperatures making our daily lives unbearable, air conditioning seems like an oasis in the “furnace” that the city has become.
However, we often overdo it with the air conditioning temperature, in order to immediately lower the temperature in the room and feel cool quickly. This habit, however, does not offer significant benefits, according to experts, while it has negative consequences, mainly for our wallets.
Experts recommend setting the air conditioning to 25 degrees Celsius, at least during the day. This practice has a double benefit, since on the one hand it ensures the economical operation of your air conditioning and on the other hand it does not overload the electricity network.
A critical mistake that many people make is setting the air conditioning to 22 degrees or lower. These temperatures should be avoided, as for every degree below 25-26 degrees, energy costs increase by approximately 6%.
Instead, it is recommended to set the temperature to 25 degrees during the day and 27 degrees during the night.
