As the hot summer begins after the Dragon Boat Festival, Taiwan Power Company advised against immediately turning on the air conditioner upon returning home due to the heat, suggesting two steps to make the air conditioner cool faster and save energy. By opening windows for ventilation to cool down the house and cleaning the air filter before using the air conditioner to increase its efficiency, users can reduce power consumption. Adjusting the air conditioner to a moderate temperature, around 26 to 28 degrees Celsius, and using an electric fan to circulate air can effectively cool the room while saving energy, as lower temperatures may lead to longer and more power-consuming operation of the air conditioner.
