ENERGY SAVING TIPS

1. Relaxing room temperature at night is OK: During the nighttime

hours you don’t require the same level of conscious cooling or heating.

Try using Sleep Mode to gradually relax room temperature and allow the

unit to run less and save energy.

2. Curtains and shades: In the summer, you need to block the effects of

the sun. Close window curtains and shades on the south and west side

of your home to help block solar heat. In winter, the sun is your friend.

Open curtains and shades to allow solar heat into your room.

3. Close doors: If you don’t need to heat and cool your whole home,

confine the heating and cooling to one room by closing doors. Limit the

space you’re heating and cooling to specified capability of the unit.

4. Service the unit: Some basic maintenance might be all you need. The

outdoor unit will greatly benefit from a good hosing out, especially in

treed areas where seeds and other debris can stick to coil fins and make

the unit work up to 15% harder!

5. Rearrange the room: Furniture that obstructs airflow means you could

be heating and cooling the back of a chair or the front of a sofa instead

of the actual living space. Use the Swing Louvers to help direct the air in

the right direction for the room; remove or rearrange obstacles blocking

airflow.

6. Lighting: Turning lights off can help reduce your heat. Each light bulb is

a tiny heater. Your air conditioner must waste energy overcoming the

heat from your lights to reach and hold your desired room temperature.

7. Is anyone home? If possible, while you’re away turn your unit to Auto

mode and make sure windows and drapes are closed. Although the

room temperature will be uncomfortable for a few minutes when you

come home, the unit will have the room back to your desired

temperature in no time.

8. Don’t forget the fan: The fan is much like a car. The faster it runs, the

more energy is uses. Sometimes we need the car to go fast, but slow is

good enough most of the time. Try saving money by using the

comfortable quiet low fan speed as much as possible.
