At Morgan Electrics and Gas, we know that regular Geelong air conditioning unit servicing helps home and business cooling systems to run efficiently.
And, not surprisingly, efficient systems used correctly can equate to lower energy bills.
A report on news.com.au recently caught our eye and we though it was worth talking about. The report outlined new research that reveals Australians potentially waste $1.3 billion a year when it comes to using their air conditioning units during summer.
That’s a big number and a lot of money that is slipping through our fingertips. And it is lost through people cooling their houses for hours while no-one is at home on those hot, uncomfortable days.
Comparison website finder.com.au, which carried out the research, revealed that more than 2.3 million households wasted power in this way, pushing their quarterly power bill up by more than $570 on average. But reducing daily air conditioning use by a mere 30 minutes could see you pocket up to $72 in summer savings.
And the air-con expert advice doesn’t stop there, with a research chief at Savills Australia recommending businesses across Australia can keep energy costs down by lowering their thermostat to 25 degrees over the hotter months. Tony Crabb, who also advocates a 19 degree setting in winter in his comments to news.com.au, says the adjustment could lead to $100 million in savings a year for Aussie businesses as well as reduce carbon emissions by 300,000 tonnes.
