Saving energy on Air Conditioning

One of the best ways to save energy on air conditioning systems is to install an inverter system. An inverter is a feature in the aircon system that allows the motor (fan motor(s), compressor) to vary their speed, which will in turn save you power, as the motor will only run to what is needed, rather than running at maximum capacity at all times. To give you an example, an inverter split system uses approximately 30% less energy than a standard fixed speed split system.

Another great way to save energy on your air conditioning system is to ensure it is regularly serviced, to make sure it is always operating at maximum capacity. This includes ensuring the unit is properly cleaned, including the filters, the outdoor units, and the airflow is good.

When looking at installing air conditioning in your property, you should consider a number of different factors. These include what natural ventilation your property has, the floor plan of the property, where sun shines inside your property and where you get natural shade within the property. Your qualified Glenco Air Conditioning technician can advise you about what is best for your property. You should make sure your air conditioning system is energy efficient, and the correct size for your property, as well as being correctly installed.

Saving energy on LED lighting

LED lighting is another great avenue by which you can save energy at your property. LED lighting technology has become more affordable in recent years. LED means lower cost energy and also hardly any globe maintenance which also allows you to save money. There is also the convenience of lighting for which you don’t have to change globes anywhere near as often as you have to with non-LED lighting.

There are a number of ways you can save energy in your property. Start saving energy today and give us a call or email us to book your Energy Management services today.
