Some Air Conditioning Tips.

Follow our tips to save energy when using your air conditioner and learn how to manage your home energy use during peak demand times.

Many households use their air conditioner during daily peak demand times, increasing stress on the electricity network. Follow the tips below to save energy when using your air conditioner and learn how to manage your home energy use during peak demand times.

Choose an Energy Efficient Air Conditioner
It’s important to purchase the most energy efficient option you can when buying an air conditioner at home. In most cases, you may find it cheaper in the long run to completely replace an old inefficient air conditioning system rather than buying an additional one.

Optimal Temperature Setting
Every degree of extra cooling may increase your energy consumption by approximately 5 to 10%. Calculate your potential savings when you set your air conditioner at a temperature that keeps you comfortable but doesn’t use unnecessary electricity.
Set your air conditioner to an energy-efficient 24°C in summer and 18°C in winter and seal gaps and close doors, windows and curtains to cool or heat rooms quicker and keep them at a comfortable temperature for longer.

Maintenance
• Follow manufacturer instructions on how to clean the air conditioner filter. Regular dust build up can reduce airflow by up to 1% per week.
• Book a professional clean of both indoor and outdoor unit fins and coils every 6 months for improved energy efficiency and healthier air
• Keep your outdoor air conditioning unit shaded from the sun, this can increase your air conditioners efficiency by approximately 5% – 10%.

Mould, bacteria and contaminants can accumulate inside air conditioning units, which can lead to a loss of airflow, overworked motors, higher running costs and increased allergens in the home or office.

Remember a professionally cleaned and sanitised air conditioner will save you up to 30% on your energy bill.
