How to Save Electricity While Staying Comfy & Cool
- Use your aircon wisely
The quick answer in staying cool at home is turning your aircon on. But if you want to save on your electricity, it’s time to explore its settings! For most split type aircons, you can find the Eco Mode. This settng automatically adjusts the fan speed and temperature—but ony slightly. This small difference won’t make you uncomfortable, but it will make a difference in your upcoming electricity bill!
- Mind your home’s ventilation
If it’s not so hot during the night, open the windows and doors to let the breeze in. Let the cool air circulate inside your room and push the warm air out. This way, you can let your aircon rest and just use an electric fan to save energy.
- Take cool showers
In the Philippines, it’s a common routine to take frequent showers every day, especially during March to May. Cool showers can help you cool down! You won’t even have to turn your water heater on so you can save energy.
- Use an electric fan.
With or without an aircon, you can feel instant cooling comfort with an electric fan. It generally cheaper to buy and to use. But if you have an aircon, you can turn on your electric fan to circulate the cool air. Then, you can increase your aircon’s temperature a bit to conserve energy.

- Optimize your appliance use.
If possible, use heat-generating appliances like ovens, dryers, rice cookers, and air fryers during off-peak hours. Limit your use during the hottest times of the day so they won’t add to the indoor heat. In the same way, your aircon won’t have to work harder to cool the space.
