The 24°C rule
Every degree below 24°C increases your cooling energy consumption by roughly 3–5%.
24°C with a ceiling fan feels the same as 22°C without one — and costs significantly less.
Seal the easy leaks
Check door seals, window frames and AC pipe entry points.
In villas, insulate the roof space if possible — this alone can cut AC load by 20%.
Close curtains during peak sun hours; reflective window film pays for itself in a single summer.
Make cleanliness a routine
Dirty filters and coils are the #1 cause of high AC bills in Dubai.
Set a calendar reminder to inspect filters every 30 days in summer.
Use the AC smarter, not less
Zone your cooling — cool the rooms you're in, not the whole villa.
Programmable thermostats and smart plugs can cut nighttime consumption significantly.
Service outdoor units before summer starts — clean coils drop energy use immediately.
