One of the most common questions we receive is how you can save money while running the air conditioner.

Did you know that by keeping your air conditioner between 22-24° year-round, you can cut costs by 10 per cent? We know how tempting it is to lower your air con temp down to 18 degrees when it gets hot outside, but it could cost more than it’s worth.

Here are our top tips for staying comfortable all year-round while not worrying about wracking up a hefty bill!

On warm days, turn on your air con unit earlier in the day, rather than waiting until the temperature outside is too hot. Leaving it until later will overwork the unit as it is forced to work to cool down a room that is already hot.
Annual maintenance and cleaning services are a must! This ensures the efficiency of the unit all year round and actively works to avoid any issues that may arise, so your air conditioner performs at its peak.
Regularly change the filters on the unit to ensure all debris gets removed.
