How to Increase Air Conditioner Efficiency.

To save up 30% on heating and cooling costs, it is important to have your air conditioner professionally cleaned at least every 12 months.

It is no coincidence that number of domestic air-conditioners has almost doubled in a decade: over 70 per cent of us have one. Many Australians still reserve the use of their air-conditioners for those very hot or cold days of the year. Air conditioning use at these times creates much of the peak load that costly infrastructure is being built to cope with.

There is no denying that it gets hot in Australia. Temperatures can exceed 40 degrees Celsius for several days in a row and then drop down to below 0 degrees in winter. Climate change might be causing more extreme temperatures and heat waves.

How then did Australians manage without air conditioning?

Australia’s situation is not unique. In many developed and developing nations around the world, air-conditioning is making its way into more and more homes and workplaces. In 1994, a quarter of households had it. These days more than 70% do.

Many air-conditioning companies have focused their attention on improving the efficiency of air-conditioners. This is brilliant when the unit is brand new, but don’t forget it doesn’t take long for contaminants to start building up inside your air conditioner.

To help increase efficiency make sure you have sealed all windows and door frames to eliminate draughts, install insulation in wall and ceiling, only heat/cool rooms you are using and set temperatures at moderate settings (23 degrees is the average).

By choosing just a few simple measures you can lower heating and cooling costs.
