To reduce energy consumption when running an air conditioner during the summer, you should set the temperature to an appropriate level, try to exploit natural cooling methods like opening the windows and shutters and putting on some music to create circulation and get better indoor air quality, and make sure your AC unit is running efficiently by doing routine maintenance.

Some strategies to reduce energy consumption while using air conditioning in the summer include setting the temperature to an appropriate level, using natural cooling methods such as opening windows and doors to make use of cross-ventilation and shifting the temperature setting throughout the day, using a programmable thermostat which can automatically regulate temperatures when no one is at home or before you awake, regularly maintaining your AC unit for improved efficiency, and considering alternative forms of cooling such as evaporative coolers.
