Correct use of AC: As hot summer has started and air conditioners have started running full time, here we take a look at ways it impacts our body, and our wallet.
Most people have a habit that they run their ACs at 20-22 degrees and when they are cold, they use blankets. This leads to double loss.
Let’s know how:
Do you know that the temperature of our body is 35 degrees Celsius? The body can tolerate temperature ranging from 22 degrees to 39 degrees. It is called human body temperature tolerance.
When the temperature is lower or higher, the body reacts, such as sneezing etc.
When you run the AC at 20-21 degrees, this temperature is lower than the normal temperature of the body and it starts the process called hypothermia in the body which affects blood circulation and in some parts of the body Blood does not reach properly.
There are many disadvantages in long term such as arthritis etc.
Most of the time there is no sweating in the AC so that the toxins of the body can not come out and in the long term, the risk of many more diseases increases, such as skin allergy or itching, high blood pressure etc.
When you run AC at such low temperatures, its compressor continuously moves on full energy, even if it is 5 stars, excessive power is consumed & it blows money from your pocket.
What is the key to running AC first 20-21 and then wrap the sheet?
It is better to run AC at 25+ degrees and also run the fan.
This will cost less electricity and your body temperature will also be in the range and there will be no damage to it.
Another advantage of this is that the AC will spend less electricity, the pressure on the brains will also decrease and ultimately global warming will decrease.
Suppose you save about 5 units per AC per night by running AC on 26 and if you are in 10 lakh houses then you save 5 million units per day electricity.
At the regional level this savings can be crores of units per day.
Please think and do not run your AC at all below 25 degrees. Keep your body and environment healthy.
