By keeping a few basic things in mind, you can stay clear of excessive and improper usage of your air conditioner and also avoid hefty electricity bills. Here are some tips which can help you:

•    Thermostat should be kept in a proper place so that it gives accurate readings. Thermostat should not be kept near a device that produces heat because this will affect the readings of the thermostat.

•    Windows should be closed so it does not let heat into the room in summer and keeps cold outside during the winter time.

•    The outside part of the air conditioning system should never be directly facing towards the sun.

•    The installation of a thermostat timer saves money because the timer is set in such a way that it keeps on checking the temperature automatically.

•    Maintaining the humidity at proper level is important.
