How to reduce air conditioner running costs.

Air conditioning can make electricity bills skyrocket. Here’s some ways to help your air conditioner run more efficiently and save you money.

If your home isn’t brand new, cool air is probably seeping out through worn door and window seals, vents and other sneaky cracks.

You can do an easy check yourself by standing outside your home and run your hand along windows and doors. Can you feel the cold air escaping? If you do, seal around leaky windows and add insulation tape around doors.

Good insulation in the roof and walls will help to maintain constant comfortable temperatures.

During the warmest part of the day, close your window blinds and keep out the sun.

The average reverse cycle air conditioner (cleaned & maintained) costs around $0.11 – $0.75 per hour to run for cooling, depending on the size of the room. A medium sized room of 36sqm would cost $0.38 – $0.54 per hour to run.

The easiest way to reduce the impact of air conditioning on your electricity bill is to maintain a consistent temperature throughout the day. Generally, the best temperatures to go by are 24°C in summer and about 19°C in winter.

Ensuring your air conditioner is professionally cleaned every 12 months, will help it run more efficiently and reduce your power bill by up to 30 percent!
