Do you sleep with the air conditioning on? Here’s what it costs you.

For 2 kWh, expect to pay around €0.40 per hour.

Over an 8-hour night, this rises to approximately €3.20.

And if you leave the air conditioning running 24/7? That can reach €9.60 per day, or nearly €70 per week!

Needless to say, over the course of a summer, the bill can quickly become quite unpleasant…

Smart air conditioning: consume less energy without suffocating the system

Fortunately, there are very simple ways to keep cool without breaking the bank:

Recent models with an A++ or A+++ energy label consume up to 40% less than older air conditioners.

Choosing the right size unit:

An air conditioner that’s too powerful for a small room will waste energy. Conversely, an undersized model will run continuously. The best compromise? A unit that’s appropriate for the room’s size and insulation.

Set the temperature moderately:

According to Ademe, a temperature of 26°C is perfectly adequate for comfortable sleeping. And be aware: the greater the difference between the outside and inside temperatures (above 7°C), the higher the energy consumption.Learn Physics

Use the “eco” or “night” mode:

These functions allow the device to adjust its power. The result? Less noise and up to 30% energy savings!

What if we also took advantage of natural coolness?

Even before turning on the air conditioning, a few simple actions can make all the difference:
