Air conditioning accounts for 60–70% of electricity bills in Kuwait summer. These practical tips help reduce consumption without sacrificing comfort.
1. Set Temperature to 24°C
Every degree lower increases consumption by 5–8%. 24°C is comfortable and efficient for Kuwait homes.
2. Clean Filters Monthly
Dirty filters force the AC to work harder. Clean or replace monthly during summer. Schedule professional AC cleaning quarterly.
3. Service Your AC Regularly
Low gas, dirty coils, and worn parts all increase power consumption. Annual AC maintenance pays for itself in electricity savings.
4. Seal Doors and Windows
Cool air escaping forces AC to run longer. Check seals on windows and doors, especially in older apartments.
5. Use Curtains and Blinds
Block direct sunlight during peak hours (11am–4pm) to reduce heat load on your AC.
6. Fix Problems Promptly
Weak cooling, ice buildup, or unusual noises mean your AC is consuming more power than it should. Call FAOWZ AL-DEERA in Jahra and all Kuwait: +965 5160 8846.
