Want to save up to 46% on your split system running costs?
In this latest blog, Power Trip Services share the findings from a Daikin study comparing an old split system with a new model to prove just how much you can save!
Split System Air Conditioner Running Costs
Air conditioning your home can make up a huge chunk of your yearly energy costs (up to 40%).
But Daikin’s R&D team have run the numbers – comparing the average running costs of one of its old split system models (FTY35F/RY35F) to a current model (FTXM35Q/RXM35Q CORA).
They ran each system for the same amount of time, and what they found was that people who replaced their old system with a current model could save up to 46 per cent on operating expenses.
These massive savings are thanks in part to technology advancements and how they’ve been able to improve energy efficiency. Some features include:
- Standby power function: This function turns the indoor unit to standby mode and switches the outdoor unit’s power supply off when the air conditioner is not in use.
- Inverter technology: This technology allows the desired temperature to be reached faster. It also helps to maintain a comfortable temperature.
- Eco mode: If numerous electrical devices are in use at the same time, this mode helps to reduce the air conditioner’s power consumption and consequently decreases the load on the electrical circuit.
- Intelligent Eye: Some models have an infrared sensor that detects human movement. When there has been no activity in the room for more than 20 minutes, the system will automatically switch to energy saving operation.
- Reluctance DC Motor: Powerful neodymium magnets that are 10 times stronger than conventional ferrite magnets are used in the motor, which can boost efficiency.
