[LG Air Conditioner Function] How can I use the air conditioner in a way to minimize the electricity bills?

Repair

If the capacity of the air conditioner is smaller than the area size of house, the indoor temperature does not drop fast enough, thus making you feel like cooling is not strong enough.
In this case, as the compressor for the outdoor unit keeps running, you might get a very high electricity bill, thus make sure to select an air conditioner suitable for the capacity.

Recommended capacity of the stand type air conditioner for your home = half of the area size of house
As the stand type air conditioner is installed in the living room that accounts for the largest area size in your house, the half of the area size of house can be regarded as the capacity of the stand type air conditioner.

Dust oil filter cleaning

If the oil dust filter is clogged, then air will not be sucked in and thus the cooling performance will be degraded due to reduced discharge wind volume.
Make sure to periodically clean the dust oil filter once every other week.

The dust filter is rinsed with neutral detergent and dried in the shade.

Adequate target temperature setting

In summer, you often feel discomforts because of the high humidity.
Even if you do not reduce the temperature too much, you can remove moisture and make the environment very refreshing.
→ Set the target temperature to 26℃~28℃(78.8°F~82.4°F) which is adequate for use in summer.

Setting the temperature to 26℃~28℃(78.8°F~82.4°F) using the temperature control up/down buttons

Blocking of direct sunlight

On a day with strong direct sunlights, internal calories will be increased as a result.
Now, if you block it with a curtain, then the internal temperature can be adjusted much faster, thus the outdoor unit operation time is reduced, and you can save electricity costs.
Now, do not block the rear of air conditioner.

Cold air circulation

If you use the air conditioner with a fan(air circulator), then cold wind can travel further, thus making it more efficient.
Place a fan(air circulator) in front of the air conditioner and use it together.

Use air conditioner and fan together

Outdoor unit air ventilation

If there is an obstacle near the outdoor unit or if the air vent window is not widely opened, then heat will not be easily discharged to the outside, thus the temperature will rise.
It can cause problems in cold air circulation and a hike in the power consumption.
Remove obstacles near the outdoor unit.

Clearing things in front of the outdoor unit
Ventilation window blades are adjusted horizontally to discharge heat well. When the angle of the wing is low or closed, the heat is not discharged well
