Air conditioner adoption is in many ways a good thing and is becoming a necessity in Nigeria. It’s no secret that a cooler home and a better air treated environment will make living there more pleasant but it also leads to some big issues. More air conditioners mean more energy needed to run them, and more electricity being made means more greenhouse gases going up into the air.
This is beginning to pose as a huge challenge.

Beneath is a chart showing the percentage consumption of energy with the use of air conditioners. 50 percent was used in heating and air conditioning and another 15per cent for domestic hot water which is not totally different from other business and home consumption in Nigeria.
With the increasing stability in the Nigerian power distribution and the fact that consumption of power will soon start to be billed as you use.
How then do we intend to enjoy the use of our air conditioners and reduce the cost of electricity bills?

Maybe when we start to adopt alternative means of generating power.
Do you know that coal provides 33% of electricity generated in UK(but its a dirty fuel that produces heavy greenhouse gas emissions).
IMO, Renewable Energy is the way out
