6. Clean the air conditioner filter every two weeks
Studies have shown that when the filter is covered in dust, the air conditioner’s efficiency can drop by up to 15%, leading to higher electricity consumption. Therefore, regularly cleaning the filter is an essential way to save electricity. It is recommended to clean the filter every two weeks.
