   Put it on AUTO then turn it off! :-p

   They are referring to split units. It’s usually manual and cannot be set to disconnect on a certain room temperature.

   It is misleading though, i have to admit.

   the first talks about central a/c and the other talks about a/c units, this time youre the one who needs to do better reading.

4. 4. Mark | July 26th, 2007 at 2:45 pm

   i did read its not clear enough and confusing. Why can’t I set me A/C “unit” to Auto?

5. 5. Bask | July 26th, 2007 at 3:10 pm

   Central A/C has the climate control switch on the wall, the built in thermometer (Thermal unit) regulates the performance of the AC. The split units controls only the level of power of which the ac will let out.

   Ahmad, “A/C units” is not a technical term, another common word is window A/C, the correct word is Split Unit, which everyone can understand. The government cannot expect its 2.4 million citizens to speak the local slang language :) none the less should not use jargon in its communication :)

   It should read..’Turn of A/C when not in use’, would be applicable for both types of A/Cs

    I usually adjust it to 18-20 degrees but one time I tried to adjust it to 25 degrees and it only gave out hot and sticky air, what would happen if it was on 30 degrees.. catch fire?

    rather stay outside in the heat than have it on 30 degrees

12. 12. sfsa78@hotmail.com | July 26th, 2007 at 5:28 pm

    So let me get this straight.. They expect us to leave our aircons set at 30c, i might as well turn it off!!
    Then they tell us to shut the aircons off, and at the same time tightly close all the windows. Seariously, i know we dont have enough electricity for the 2.4 million population, but isn’t it over the top to lower the population by slowly baking the in their houses. lol

    KUWAIT CITY: “The Audit Bureau’s decision to cancel the contracts of Ministry of Electricity and Water’s (MEW) ‘Emergency Project -2008’ will create an energy crisis next year,” Al-Rai daily quoted a reliable source at the MEW as saying. The source alleged that Audit Bureau’s decision was influenced by external pressure and “aimed at favoring some authorities and influential individuals.” Referring to the problems faced during the implementation of the ‘Emergency Project -2007,’ the source said, “the authorized companies are installing the gas turbines but the problem is with the manufacturers, who have failed to produce the required equipments at the right time.” He mentioned that all contracts of the 2008 project were signed after obtaining the approval of the Central Tenders Committee (CTC) and after conducting a thorough study. WHAT A JOKE!! MASKHARA!!!
    THE GOVERNMENT WAS WARNED 10 YEARS AGO THAT WE NEEDED NEW POWER STATIONS..UNTILL NOW.. NOTHING, ONLY MINMAL TEMPARARY POWER STATIONS BOUGHT, AND NOW THEY EXPECT US (THE CITIZENS) TO KEEP OUR A/C’S ON 30C? Are they demented or something??
    By the way, dubai has nuclear power stations in the works. and look at us.. third world country, having problems every year with water and electricity. USELESS!!

    sorry I should have mentioned, these are tips for when you travel. Things to do before you leave.

14. 14. iMan | July 26th, 2007 at 5:48 pm

    They probably mean turn it off when your outside the house or travelling, which was being said when the campaign first began.

15. 15. holla | July 26th, 2007 at 7:54 pm

    LOL Kuwait is too poor to just throw money at problems like it used to do.

16. 16. Marzouq | July 26th, 2007 at 8:29 pm

    This really doesn’t make any sense! Its annoying, and what the hell is 30C, if your room was 30C and you were running a PC it would short out!

17. 17. Q8 Diviner | July 27th, 2007 at 7:19 pm

    LOL !

18. 18. AFK | July 28th, 2007 at 12:29 pm

19. 19. Salem | July 29th, 2007 at 11:07 am

20. 20. Feras | July 29th, 2007 at 1:44 pm

    yeah it’s simple.. turn it off when not in use..

    and yes the a/c units or split units or whatever ppl wanna call em can be climate controlled..

21. 21. Salo | August 1st, 2007 at 1:18 am

    it’s only funny because you didn’t get it

22. 22. kitsonq8 | August 6th, 2007 at 10:29 am

    What “Tarsheed’?!! Come and visit Kuwait Free Trade Zone. Ever since the campaign kicked off, the big sodium vapour lamps kept out side each of the warehouses are kept ON, 24/7 !! Note that KFTZ is run by Public Authority for Industry, a govt body!! Long live Tarsheed.

23. 23. MK | June 25th, 2008 at 3:51 pm

    Tarsheed….just a hoax to harass Non-Kuwaitis. Why is Load shedding done in non-Kuwaiti areas. Visit the Kuwaiti’s houses when no one(except the house maid) is in the house, their houses are chilling cold and to top it, no Load shedding in those areas. Let them taste the heat and the problems faced by non-Kuwaitis when they are out of electricity at nights when every expects to have some rest to face the next day. If this is an Islamic country(as propagated), what does Islam say about treating your neighbors and employees.
