Yes, Eco mode reduces AC cooling power to save energy.
Eco mode on an air conditioner is designed to conserve energy, and a primary way it achieves this is by limiting the cooling power output. This means that when Eco mode is activated, the air conditioner will generally use less energy, but it may also not cool the space as quickly or as much as when operating in a standard cooling mode.
According to the reference, "Yes, it lowers the cooling power and limits power input to save energy - so you may feel less powerful cooling when it is on!"
Here’s a breakdown of what that means:
- Reduced Cooling Power: The AC unit won't work as hard to reach the set temperature.
- Limited Power Input: The compressor and fan speeds are often reduced, consuming less electricity.
- Less Powerful Cooling Sensation: You might notice that the air isn't as cold or that it takes longer to cool the room.
Therefore, while Eco mode helps in saving electricity, it does so by reducing the cooling intensity of your AC.
