Overview
- Facile.it estimates a dual‑split A+ air conditioner run eight hours a day will add about €146 to household bills over the three summer months, a figure published in national coverage.
- The analysis warns poor use can inflate costs by as much as 90% and urges consumers to avoid setting excessively low indoor temperatures to protect health and limit waste.
- Big savings come from equipment choices: Facile.it says switching from an A+ to an A+++ unit can cut cooling costs up to 49% and choosing an inverter model can save roughly 30% by matching power to need.
- Everyday measures also help: using dehumidify, sleep or eco modes (reported up to 13% and 10% savings), regular filter cleaning and professional maintenance (up to 8%), and keeping doors and blinds closed during hot hours (up to 6%).
- Facile.it highlights that electricity offers vary widely and says tariffs are about 4% higher than last summer with supplier spreads near 37%, so comparing contracts is a simple lever to lower total bills.
