Know your Air Condition Consumption

Be wise and know how much your air conditioner consumption by daily, weekly and monthly. Based on the Meralco Appliance app's computations, the cost of keeping the AC on for 6 hours a night versus 8 hours is only P8! Instead of getting up 2 hours early every morning just to switch your AC off, get some well-deserved shut-eye!

Meralco has tested more than 300 aircon in the last 5 years, using its Power Lab facility that can simulate various room sizes. And it has some very interesting findings. When you switch to new AC with power-saving features then you can save more than keeping your old AC.

1. If the last 10 years is any indication, technology dramatically improves efficiency and after 5 years, so it becomes more cost-efficient to replace an aircon after 5 years. We tested a 5-year-old 1HP aircon (P7.50 per hour of use) versus a new one (P3.75 per hour). If you use the AC for 8 hours per day, you save P900 per month*. If a new one costs 20K, it would have paid for itself in less than 2 years.
2. Under or oversizing your aircon relative to your room size or dimensions will cost you an extra P1,000 a month*. That’s P60k in five years. If you buy a small aircon (say 0.5HP) for a big room (say 30sqm), yes that small aircon will be able to cool the room soon enough, but it will cost you because its compressor will be working all the time. If you do the reverse, say install a 1.5HP aircon in a 6 sqm. room, it will still cost you P1,000 more per month because its compressor will be cycling more, which drives consumption.

Currency Conversion: How much is 1 AED to 1 PHP?

1 AED = 15.185508 PHP Jun 18, 2023 03:25 UTC

The lesson here? The older your AC is, the more energy it will consume compared to the newer models. And an oversized or undersized AC will give you additional costs on your monthly bill! Manage your consumption with these energy efficiency tips so YOU have the power during summer heat.

How to Dominate the Galaxy in Star Wars Battlefront

See 20 tips to dominate the galaxy in Star Wars Battlefront, straight from the development team at DICE.

• “Maintain controlled fire with your blaster to manage both heat and bolt spread.”


• “With each successful cooling flush, the skill game increases in difficulty. When failing, dying or not activating the cooling flush, the difficulty level will decrease again.”


• “The Ion Shot makes your blaster more powerful against vehicles, and weaker against troopers during its active time.”


• “The Ion Grenade is a great way to quickly deal with pesky Droids and turrets.”


• “The Pulse Cannon does greater damage the longer it’s charged. A fully charged shot will defeat a person with one shot.”


• “Combine the Jump Pack with an explosion based weapon — like the Bowcaster — to rain mayhem from above.”


• “The Smoke Grenade not only reduces vision, but also blocks lock-on functions for weapons, turrets, and Droids.”


• “Energy shields blocks incoming energy blasts, but solid projectiles like grenades, rockets, and the Cycler Rifle slug will pass through.”


• “If you have a power up you do not want, you can hit interact (Square) in front of a power-up to change it for a new one.”


• “The Cycler Rifle and Pulse Cannon must be fired while scoping in order to maximize its accuracy.”


• “The Smart Rocket fires like a regular launcher, but the rocket will target and track a vehicle if fired in its general direction.”
