Other recommendations for ideal air conditioning temperature
On the other hand, the energy company Repsol also issued various recommendations for air conditioning and its ideal temperature for hot seasons.
- use the Eco mode, available in some air conditioning units, whose function is to optimize the equipment’s performance and save electricity
- combine it with fans, as they help circulate fresh air
