Is It More Energy-Efficient to Turn Your Air Conditioner On and Off or Leave It On?

The use of air conditioners has become a necessity in summer, but many people have misconceptions about their usage, particularly when it comes to the question of whether it is more energy-efficient to turn the air conditioner on and off frequently or to leave it on continuously. According to Li Jinbao, director of the China Refrigeration Society's Science Popularization Department, frequently turning the air conditioner on and off can actually consume more energy. The startup phase of an air conditioner requires a lot of energy, and frequent restarts can lead to higher overall energy consumption. Moreover, the longer the air conditioner operates, the more pronounced this difference becomes. Additionally, frequent on-and-off switching can put excessive pressure on the compressor, leading to a shorter lifespan.
