Master Your Air‑Conditioning Use

Air‑conditioning is one of the biggest contributors to high utility bills in Cyprus.

  • Keep AC between 24–26°C in summer

  • Close doors to cool or heat only occupied rooms
  • Clean filters monthly for maximum efficiency
  • Use sleep mode overnight

Humidity makes homes feel colder in winter and hotter in summer.

  • Use a dehumidifier for efficient moisture control
  • Avoid drying clothes indoors
  • Ventilate bathrooms after showers
  • Open windows briefly during warmer hours
3

Use Solar Water Heating Wisely

Most Cyprus homes use solar water heating systems.

Block Drafts and Heat Loss

Many Cyprus homes lose energy through windows and doors.

Be Smart with Appliances

Small appliance habits can significantly lower bills.
