Switching off the AC when it is not in use or keeping the AC temperature ideal, and not chilled at the minimum, can help in reducing the AC bill for sure.

But remember, it is the prolonged use of AC even when your room is chilled that contributes to the AC power consumption.

This 'trick' is called the AC ‘timer mode.’ When you simply forget to turn off the AC while sleeping, this automatic AC timer mode can turn it off to save energy.

To help you understand this, we have taken the example of a Samsung AC here. Just tap the timer button and use the selection (or, arrows) button to set the time.

Don't worry, your sleep will not be disturbed by the room getting heated up, if you have sealed it properly - doors and windows closed and no openings anywhere that would allow cold air to escape.
