How to Beat the Philippine Heat Without Exploding Your Meralco Bill
If you’re sweating buckets by noon and your electric bill’s scarier than a horror movie—you’re not alone.
Aircon guilt is real in the Philippines.
But here’s the truth:
You don’t have to choose between comfort and cost.
You just need to cool smarter.
At Emcor, we help families, renters, business owners, and even condo dwellers stay chill without paying more than they should. Here’s how you can do the same.
1. Upgrade to an Inverter Aircon (Seriously)
Yes, we know you’ve heard it before—but here’s the real math:
| Unit Type | Monthly Bill Estimate (8 hrs/day) |
| 1.5HP Non-Inverter | ₱2,500–₱3,200+ |
| 1.5HP Inverter | ₱1,300–₱1,800 |
💸 That’s up to ₱1,900 in monthly savings.
✅ Automatically adjusts power usage
✅ Quieter and longer-lasting
✅ Great for regular use (home offices, bedrooms, business spaces)

2. Use These Smart Cooling Hacks (Even with Your Current Unit)
- Set temperature to 25°C–27°C for balance
- Use “Sleep” or “Eco” mode during night hours
- Close doors and curtains to trap cool air
- Clean filters every 2–4 weeks for max efficiency
- Use electric fans with your aircon to circulate cold air faster
🎯 These tweaks alone can reduce your aircon bill by 15–20%
3. Consider a Portable or Window-Type Inverter
No split-type install? No problem.
✅ Portable inverter aircons are renter-friendly, mobile, and cost less up front
✅ Window-type inverter units are perfect for tight spaces and fast DIY cooling
🏠 Ideal for:
- Small bedrooms
- Condos
- Studios
- Temporary office setups
4. Avoid the Real Cost Traps
- ❌ Running a non-inverter aircon all day
- ❌ Ignoring filter maintenance
- ❌ Cooling an oversized room with an underpowered unit
- ❌ Not using a timer or thermostat
