Australia’s heat is no joke, we’ve seen over the past few years just how hot Australia can get. The last thing you want is to be caught in the peak of summer with their Air Conditioner malfunctioning.
Here are a few ways you can use your Air Conditioner to maximise efficiency and even save yourself money on energy bills:
1. Start Your Air Conditioner Early In The Morning.
One of the most underrated ways to maximise the efficiency of your air conditioner is by turning it on early in the morning and maintaining your ideal temperature on a low fanspeed throughout the day. The reason for this is because it’s alot easier to maintain the temperature of your room, then it
is to try and cool it down from 35 degrees. Your air conditioner will have to work harder in the peak of the heat in order to cool your room down.
2. Clean Your Air Filters
Be sure to clean your filters every 3-6 months when the seasons change, this increases the efficiency of your air conditioner by allowing maximum airflow back to the machine.
3. Maintaining Your Air Conditioner
Your air conditioner is going to need maintenance every 6-12 months. You can maintain your air conditioner by using a non-corrosive coil cleaner to eat at dirt and built up mould. If you are unsure about where to clean, contact your local air conditioning technician to clean your air conditioner. Maint
aining and cleaning your air conditioner will increase the efficiency of the machine by up to 40% in it’s lifetime.
4. Close Your Curtains And Blinds
If your air conditioner is in direct sunlight, this could affect the longevity of the machine. So a few ways to extend the life of your air conditioner and maximise efficiency is by closing the blinds and leaving the air conditioner out of direct sunlight.
5. Replace Your Old System
If your air conditioner is more then 8 years old, you might want to consider swapping your old air conditioner out for a new inverter technology air conditioner. The way inverter technology works is when you turn your air conditioner on and the room has reached your ideal temperature, it will slow down the compressor. By doing this, you’ll not only stay cool, you’ll also save up to 20% on operating costs.
That’s all the tips we have for you this summer.
Stay cool with BD Air Conditioning.
