The efficiency of your AC system depends on a number of factors, some of which are more difficult to control. But an easy way to improve efficiency is to adjust the vents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&rsquo;s look at the science behind which direction your AC vents should point, and then we will move on to other ways by which you can improve the efficiency of your AC system.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"lazyblock-nutshell-Z2d2Rn1 wp-block-lazyblock-nutshell\"><p class=\"has-text-align-left has-text-color has-background\" style=\"background-color:#e7d1b1;color:#575f60;font-size:18px\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"50\" class=\"wp-image-3497\" style=\"width: 200px;\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/nutshell1-11.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/nutshell1-11.png 600w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/nutshell1-11-300x75.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"eager\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"50\" class=\"wp-image-3497 eager-load\" style=\"width: 200px;\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20200%2050'%3E%3Crect%20width='200'%20height='50'%20style='fill:%23e3e3e3'\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/nutshell1-11.png\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-1\" data-src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/nutshell1-11.png.webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/nutshell1-11.png.webp 600w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/nutshell1-11-300x75.png.webp 300w\" data-svg=\"1\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><br><strong>As a general rule, AC vents should point upward (but not enough to narrow the openings too much). This allows cold air to displace hot air before sinking. An exception is when the vents are located on the walls right below the ceiling. Here, vents must point parallel to the ceiling or slightly down.<\/strong> <\/p><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">AC Vents Should Point Upwards&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although there are no specific indications for the direction in which your air vents must point, in order to maintain efficient airflow, <strong>it is best to direct your AC vent upwards<\/strong>. But why is this the case?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, as we know,&nbsp;hot air rises, and cold air sinks.

However, if it is not working as it should, it can be more frustrating than if you had no AC system at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&rsquo;s look at some tips for making your AC work at its best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Further Tips for Improving the Efficacy of Your AC<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Ensure the outdoor unit is always clean.

Avoid blocking the airflow of your AC by ensuring nothing is positioned directly in front of it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>As far as possible, close your curtains while the AC is running as the heat entering through the windows will cause your AC to work overtime.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Avoid installing your AC unit near a window that receives a lot of light and heat during the day. The AC won&rsquo;t be able to detect the actual room temperature. It will work based on the concentrated heat from direct sunlight. The same goes for lamps or other heat-emitting appliances near your AC.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Note: You do get <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/window-ac-waterproof\/\">window AC units<\/a>, which will have to be installed in the windows.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Place your AC unit away from direct sunlight, i.e., not directly across from a window. This will reduce the strain on the equipment, allowing for optimal performance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Glaze your windows. This allows the glass of the window on the inside of the house to remain at room temperature. Thus, less heat is transmitted through the window and into the house, ensuring your AC does not run harder than it needs to.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Cross-sectional-of-a-single-window-glazing.jpg\" alt=\"Cross sectional of a single window glazing\" class=\"wp-image-33324\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Cross-sectional-of-a-single-window-glazing.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Cross-sectional-of-a-single-window-glazing-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Cross-sectional-of-a-single-window-glazing-768x560.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Cross-sectional-of-a-single-window-glazing-960x700.jpg 960w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Cross-sectional-of-a-single-window-glazing-150x109.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Cross-sectional-of-a-single-window-glazing.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Cross sectional of a single window glazing\" class=\"wp-image-33324 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Cross-sectional-of-a-single-window-glazing.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Cross-sectional-of-a-single-window-glazing-300x219.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Cross-sectional-of-a-single-window-glazing-768x560.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Cross-sectional-of-a-single-window-glazing-960x700.jpg.webp 960w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Cross-sectional-of-a-single-window-glazing-150x109.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Cross-sectional-of-a-single-window-glazing.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-8\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>&nbsp;Keep the doors and windows closed when the AC is on.
