Best Temperature for Air Conditioning in Winter Australia

If you’re wondering what the best temperature for air conditioning in winter in Australia is, you’ve come to the right place. At Power Trip Services, our air conditioning experts have the answer! We recommend having your air conditioner set at 21°C during the cooler months. We explain why we believe this is the ideal temperature below. Best Temperature For Air Conditioning In Winter Australia We all like to be comfortable indoors during winter, and a temperature of about 21°C is thought to be the ideal environment for the majority of people around the country. Yes, some people do feel the cold more, so this temperature may shift by a couple of degrees depending on who’s inside. The age of occupants, how healthy they are, as well as the design and size of your property, including insulation, how air is circulated and how much light it receives, will also need to be taken into consideration. Why is 21°C the Ideal Indoor Temperature? We recommend this temperature because most healthy people are comfortable in a 21°C environment during winter. The other reason is that keeping your air conditioning running at this temperature won’t break the bank either – as it shouldn’t need to work too hard.

Ensure the outdoor unit is clean: If your outdoor unit is near long grass, or in a dusty spot, you might need to pay it some more attention. Why? Your air conditioning unit will work better if you keep your outdoor unit clear from grass and dirt. Also, it’s important to keep the outdoor coil clean to help the unit breathe. 2. Stick to the optimum operating temperature: The optimum operating temperature for an air conditioning unit is typically 22-24 degrees. Depending on the season, we understand how tempting it can be to set the temperature a few degrees hotter or colder. But best to avoid this as it will be better for your air conditioner in the long run (it will last longer) – and your bank balance! By setting the temperature outside of the optimum range, your system will be working harder to keep the area cooler or warmer – meaning the unit need replacing sooner and you’ll be paying more on your power bill. 3. Regular servicing: We recommend having your air conditioning unit serviced (both ducted and split systems) at least once a year to keep the unit running efficiently. A service can help to keep the coil clean, therefore letting the unit breathe and work as it is intended to. It also assists to keep the condensate drain clean from debris, which in turn lets the condensate run freely through the drain. Maintaining these parts of your unit, helps to ensure your air quality is clean and fresh. Learn more about our air conditioning servicing options here. How Often Should I Have My Air Conditioner Serviced? Services should be carried out at least once a year for both ducted and split system units, and a major service should be done every 2 years.

In this blog, we reveal a bit more about our installation process and include details about a recent residential installation in the northside suburb of Burpengary. Replace Split System Air Conditioner Burpengary Recently, one of our valued repeat customers reached out because he wanted to replace the split system air conditioning in his 285m2 4-bedroom Burpengary home and add a ducted system instead. We installed a Daikin 18KW Inverter Ducted C Series (new Series) along with an Advantage Air zone 6 system. This basic zone 6 system is easy to use and allows the end user to cool or heat 6 specific areas within their property. Normally, with a residential property of this size, a 14KW system would be more than capable, however, this client wanted a high-powered system to keep the home cold, so we opted for an 18KW system. This puts less pressure on running a smaller capacity unit and less reliance on active zones for this busy family.
