Summer heat can be brutal; running a window AC daily often produces high electricity bills. We know how important it is to stay cool without spending too much. That’s why we’ve put together some easy and practical tips to help you save energy while using your window AC. These ideas are simple to follow and can make a big difference. We’ll also show you how our smart coil manager, LM-2000, can help bring smarter control and better window AC energy savings, especially if you’re still using older units.
1. Keep Your AC Filters Clean
Dust and dirt build-up fast during the summer. A clogged filter forces your AC to work harder, using more power. Cleaning or replacing your AC filter every few weeks can help maintain smooth airflow and lower energy use. It’s a small task with big results.
2. Seal Gaps Around the AC Unit
Even the best window AC can lose its cool if hot air slips in from outside. Check the area around your unit and seal any gaps with foam or weatherstripping. This helps your AC cool the space faster and use less power.
3. Set a Smart Temperature
We often think colder means better, but setting the thermostat too low doesn’t always cool the room faster—it just makes the AC run longer. Keeping your AC set between 24°C and 26°C is usually enough to stay comfortable while reducing electricity use. With the LM-2000, you can set and manage these temperatures remotely and accurately.
4. Use Curtains or Blinds
Direct sunlight makes your AC work overtime. Keeping your curtains or blinds closed during the hottest part of the day can keep the room cooler and reduce the load on your unit. It’s a simple fix that supports better window AC energy savings.
5. Get a Smart Coil Manager Like LM-2000
Our smart control module, LM-2000, connects with your legacy Window AC to help reduce power consumption by up to 30%. It works quietly inside your existing AC, so you don’t have to replace your unit.
LM-2000 connects to cloud systems like BMS-3000 and APM-3200, allowing real-time control and monitoring of your AC’s primary functions. It also helps set limits, track usage, and warn you when something isn’t working right. In short, it gives you more control, which leads to better energy habits.
This is especially helpful for large buildings, offices, or commercial places that are still using older AC units. Instead of throwing them out, LM-2000 makes them innovative and more efficient.
6. Stay on Top of Maintenance
Don’t wait for problems to show up. Regular checks—like cleaning the coils, checking the fan, and ensuring the drain is clear—can help your AC run smoothly. With the help of LM-2000’s predictive tools, we can catch issues early. For example, if your AC starts to consume more electricity than usual, the system sends alerts before it affects your bill.
7. Use Your AC Only When Needed
We’ve all left the AC running when not in the room. It’s easy to forget. With remote control features available through our system, you can turn your AC off or adjust settings from anywhere. That’s smart use and more window AC energy savings right there.
