Don't Blow Your Money Away
Ensuring Efficiency and Safety
Most householders consider ducted air-conditioning as “set and forget”. However, this is only true if the system undergoes professional checks for performance and safety.
- Industry research indicates that up to 30% of reverse-cycle air-conditioners operate inefficiently, leading to escalated power bills.
- En3rgy Solutions technicians specialize in identifying and rectifying issues with ducted air-conditioning, including those stemming from improper installation.
- Neglecting system maintenance can lead to severe consequences, including the risk of house fires
Signs of System Failure
Symptoms of component and ducting failure include rooms that no longer heat or cool effectively. Our technicians are adept at identifying and resolving such issues, including damaged ducting joints and burnt-out electrical motors.
The Importance of Service
Regular servicing is more cost-effective than replacement, and repairs and upgrades adhere to current industry standards. These include enhanced insulation ratings and fire-retardant ducting.
- Our workers are COVID-19 aware and adhere to strict sanitization protocols.
- Replacement parts sourced are of the highest quality and reasonably priced, thanks to our affiliation with trusted brands.
Efficient Cooling Practices
Does leaving your AC fan on save money?
- While the fan alone consumes less energy than the AC, leaving it on constantly increases utility bills and maintenance needs.
- Australians spend a collective $4.6 billion on cooling costs annually, with leaving the aircon running for 4.3 hours per day adding significantly to bills.
Keep an Eye on the Temperature
- Maintaining a temperature a few degrees higher for 8 hours can save up to 10% on cooling bills annually.
- Set the air conditioner to recirculate cool air instead of pulling warmer air in from outside.
- Ensure the outdoor unit isn’t installed facing the sun to avoid overexertion and increased energy consumption.
Regular Maintenance is Key
- Dirty air conditioner filters can increase energy usage by 5-15%. Regular cleaning and maintenance are essential for optimal performance.
Choose the Right Units and Energy Rating
- Conduct research to select air conditioners with optimal energy ratings suitable for your home’s design.
- Avoid purchasing units that are too large for your home, as they can result in unnecessary energy costs.
