Abstract

Energy efficiency in air conditioning systems is a significant issue in the context of sustainability and energy consumption reduction. This study aims to analyze the impact of regular maintenance and servicing on the efficiency of air conditioner usage in energy savings. A quantitative approach was employed, collecting data from several air conditioning units that received regular maintenance compared to units that were not serviced regularly. Data gathered included energy consumption, room temperature, and air conditioner performance before and after maintenance. The results indicate that maintenance and servicing significantly improve energy efficiency, reducing energy consumption by up to 20%. These findings contribute to energy efficiency efforts and provide practical recommendations for air conditioner users to perform routine maintenance to reduce energy costs and support environmental sustainability.
