Reverse Your Bill Costs

Is Your Reverse Cycle Air Conditioning System Running More and Costing You Hundreds?

Winter’s harsh horizontal rain and swirling winds can saturate your outdoor air conditioning units, putting them under immense strain and requiring more frequent servicing.

This often leads to dirty underperforming in-efficient systems that increase winter power bills, especially if they are not serviced regularly.

There are many factors that influence your system’s performance and therefore influence the bottom line on your energy bill.

• Maintain a moderate temperature: Aim for a temperature between 20°C and 21°C. Every degree higher can increase running costs by 5-10%.
• Ensure proper insulation: Seal drafts and improve insulation to minimize heat loss.
• Clean or replace filters regularly: This ensures efficient airflow and reduces energy consumption.
• Let the sun in: Open curtains and blinds during the day to utilize passive solar heating.

Other factors to consider are the unit’s efficiency

• Older units: Older split systems may not be as energy-efficient as newer models, especially those with inverter technology. Inverter technology allows the unit to adjust its output to maintain the set temperature, reducing energy consumption.
• Size and capacity: An air conditioner that is too large or too small for your space may not operate efficiently, leading to higher energy use.
