VIREO GEN3 OWNERS MANUAL - INDOOR UNIT | 20
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
1. Reduce room setpoint at night: During the night hours, you don’t require the same level of conscious cooling or
heating. Try using Sleep Mode to gradually relax room temperature and allow the unit to run less and save energy.
2. Curtains and shades: In the summer, it is recommended to block the effects of the sun. Close window curtains and
shades on the south and west side of your home to help block solar heat. In winter, the sun is your friend. Open
curtains and shades to allow solar heat into your room.
3. Close doors: If you don’t need to heat and cool your whole home, confine the heating and cooling to one room by
closing doors.
4. Service the unit: Some basic maintenance might be all you need. The outdoor unit will greatly benefit from a good
hosing off, leaves, grass clippings and other debris can stick to coil fins and make the unit work up to 15% harder!
5. Rearrange the room: Furniture that obstructs the airflow, needs to be removed or rearranged accordingly.
6. Try 75 degrees: 75°F is a good point for an air conditioner to run at its optimal performance level. Even a 5-degree
change in temperature can make your unit use up to 40% more energy.
7. Lighting: Turning lights off can help reduce your heat. Each light bulb is a tiny heater. Your air conditioner must
waste energy overcoming the heat from your lights to reach and hold your desired room temperature.
8. Zero occupancy: During zero occupancy turn your unit to Auto mode and make sure windows and curtains are
closed. Although room temperature may be less than optimal for a few minutes when you return, the unit will soon
have the room back to your desired temperature.
9. Don’t forget the fan: The fan is much like a car. The faster it runs, the more energy it uses. Try saving money by
using the comfortable quiet low fan speed as much as possible.
