Good question.

Ganito na lang. At 100% power, the AC might probably need just 30% of that power to maintain a temperature of 24degree. Still may mga overheads ka pa rin dyan so less and efficiency. Kung baga para kang nagpakabit ng 2.5HP A/C na pang-1HP lang naman ang room mo. Sabihin natin AC tech ako at nasukat ko na at 30% lang tumatakbo ang AC ko. So pwede ko siya i-set sa 40~60% power lang and then much more efficient na siya.

On the actual side, pwede mo pa rin naman ma-set malapit sa required capacity. Kung at 60% masyado pa ring malamig... or at 40% matagal lumamig or kulang ang lamig, then mismatch ang setting mo. Disadvantage lang nga to full auto mode eh ikaw ang manghuhula ng proper setting. May chance pa na baka sa underpowered mo siya mai-set in your quest for lower power consumption.

Editing this post as I think gearhead and I posted at the same time. Now I get the percentage power thingie [emoji16]
After I posted, nakita ko nga ikaw daw ang last post... so nagduda pa ako kung na-post ba yung comment ko.
