YES ✅: Keep the fridge stocked to ~70% full to allow good cold air circulation

NO ❌: Overstock your fridge—keeping your fridge at full capacity does not allow for air circulation, and uses excess electricity

YES ✅: Use a circulation fan under the air conditioner to enhance cooling effect

NO ❌: Use the same air filter without cleaning for long—you should clean the air filter at least every 3 months to maintain the energy efficiency of the air conditioner!
