Energy efficiency has never been more important so here’s some pointers on how to get more energy efficiency from your air con units:
- Control/Set Point
The most energy-efficient air con system can be rendered inefficient if not controlled in the correct manner. By setting operation times and set-point temperatures functions you’ll enhance efficiency. Use economy modes if available. - Insulation
Poorly insulated pipework breaks the vapour seal allowing condensation to form on the pipes. This condensation can soak into the insulation destroying thermal insulation properties and resulting in a decrease in the systems efficiency. Make sure all pipe work is insulated to the correct quality and standard. - Service & Maintenance
Don’t neglect system services and general maintenance. Energy consumption can increase by as much as 60% as a result of poorly maintained or dirty units.
