With the increase in temperature, electricity consumption will increase through AC
Experts say that some people use AC. People run AC at very low temperature (around 20 degrees) while many people are seen using AC at 26 degrees. Generally, running AC at 24-26 degrees eliminates the effect of heat and the weather becomes normal. Our body starts feeling pleasant at a temperature of 26 degrees and does not feel hot. This is the reason why a temperature-friendly system (thermostat) of 26 degrees and above has been installed in AC. Now the minimum temperature is expected to go up to 28 degrees and above, due to which the consumption of AC will start increasing. Experts say that generally due to low temperature at night, running AC between 24 to 26 reduces electricity consumption. Now the minimum temperature will increase due to which the AC will trip late, while people will have to run AC at a lower degree. In this, an increase in electricity consumption through AC will be seen.
