Every degree cooler than 22 to 24 degrees Celsius roughly adds 6 to 8 percent to the running cost. Set the thermostat to a sensible temperature and use fan mode when the weather is mild.
Blocked filters force the fan and compressor to work harder. A five-minute filter clean every month can cut power draw noticeably.
Inverter compressors modulate their speed instead of switching on and off, which uses far less power. If your existing unit is more than ten years old, an inverter replacement typically pays back within a few seasons.
