How to Reduce Your KAHRAMAA Bill with Smart AC Use

AC accounts for 60-70% of a typical Qatar electricity bill in summer. Here's how to lower it without losing comfort:

1. Set thermostat to 24°C, not 18°C. Each degree saves about 6%.

2. Service before summer. A neglected AC uses 30% more power.

3. Close curtains during the day to block solar gain.

4. Seal leaks around windows and doors.

5. Use ceiling fans with AC — feels 2-3°C cooler.

6. Switch off when out for more than 4 hours.

7. Upgrade to inverter AC if yours is over 8 years old.
