On days of hot torrid like these you just can't do without conditioner? If you've really tried them all and can't find refreshment, you need to be prepared and know that the air conditioning must be managed with intelligence and parsimony.

The class ... is not water
Not all air conditioners are the same. And not just a question of brand. In fact, it is the class energy. The more such devices are of higher class (A +, A ++, etc.), the higher their efficiency. Yes, they cost a little more but often the expense pays for itself in a short time since they consume much less than their lower class colleagues.
Inverter friends
Their presence is not only welcome but also necessary in air conditioners since it allows to adjust the power to the actual need, also reducing the on and off cycles.
Ecobonus
Let's not forget that for the whole of 2015, the purchase of a heat pump to fully or partially replace the old heating system is entitled to a 65% personal income tax deduction or to the Thermal Account, an incentive that varies according to the size of the system.

Where to put the air conditioner
Remember to place the air conditioner in the upper part of the wall. Because? Simple: cold air tends to go down and will mix more easily with hot air which tends to rise. It is also advisable to avoid placing the air conditioner behind sofas or curtains, blocking the diffusion of fresh air.
Watch out for waste!
Don't waste air conditioning. According to Enea, every room needs its own air conditioner and it is not correct to install an air conditioner hoping that it will cool the whole house.
We lock doors and windows
It seems trivial but it is often a mistake that we carry with us. Before turning on the air conditioner, check carefully that the doors and windows are closed.
We protect the pipes
We also remind you to insulate the pipes of the refrigerant circuit outside the house because if exposed directly to the sun they can be damaged. Also pay attention to the outside of the air conditioner, making sure that it is not directly exposed to the sun and bad weather.
brrr…
Be careful not to cool the environment too much. Just adjust the temperature 2-3 degrees lower than the outside one. Often the "dehumidification" function alone is enough to give coolness because it is the humidity present in the air that makes one perceive a much higher temperature than the real one.
The timer, our ally
One works very useful especially at night, in order to minimize the time of switching on the air conditioner.
Clean is best
Cleaning and maintenance are no less important. The air filters and fans must be cleaned at the first seasonal start-up and at least every two weeks, because mold and bacteria that are harmful to health lurk there.
