This type of product can provide energy savings of up to 30% compared to a conventional air conditioner. To find the right air conditioner for their needs, users can also call on a professional to carry out a thermal performance assessment of the home.

It is important not to exceed a difference of 5 to 7 degrees between the room and the outside temperature. To stay comfortable, remember that the ideal temperature is between 24° and 26° C. If they stick to this, they will save energy because the air conditioner will not be overloaded. To save money, users can also maintain a stable temperature throughout the day to avoid constantly restarting the air conditioner and fluctuations in the system.

Outdoor and indoor temperatures

At night, users should think about turning down the air conditioning.
