4 Reasons to Install Air Conditioning in Winter

In this blog, the team at Power Trip Services share four (4) reasons to buy and install air conditioning in Winter. If you’re considering investing in a quality air conditioning system or upgrading, you might be surprised to learn that the coolest months are often a great time to purchase and install a split system or ducted system! 4 Reasons to Install Air Conditioning in Winter Avoid the busy season As the weather heats up, air conditioning moves up the priority list and demand increases with more people rushing to purchase and install a new air conditioning system, but during winter it tends to be much quieter. This means you’ll usually experience shorter lead times and installers tend to have greater availability and flexibility in the colder months to book in the job when it suits you. 2. Manufacturer deals and specials Prices tend to plummet along with the temperatures, so you can often bag a great deal on an air conditioner during winter. It’s also the end of the financial year so you might be able to take advantage of EOFY sales too! To snap up the best air conditioner specials through Power Trip on offer right now, click here. 3. Take advantage of Reverse Cycle Air Conditioning If you opt for a reverse cycle air conditioner, you’ll be able to keep your home comfortable year-round with the one system, as it can heat your home when it’s cold and cool it down on sweltering days. 4. Energy efficient way to warm your house Reverse cycle air conditioning is typically more energy efficient and easier on your hip pocket than most other types of heaters. Canstar Blue calculated the running costs of a number of appliances over winter and found that the reverse cycle air conditioner they tested was less expensive to run compared to a tower heater or radiant bar heater.

How To Save 25% On Ducted Air Conditioning Running Costs

In this blog the Power Trip Services team share how you can save up to 25% on your ducted air conditioning running costs. If you’re concerned your ducted system is not running as efficiently as it could be, or your power bills are on the rise without reason – this one is for you! Did you know heating and cooling your home can account for up to 40 per cent of your annual energy costs? And when your ducted system is on the way out those running costs are likely to blow out – meaning you could be hit with costly repairs, or unusually high energy bills. Not to mention, a deteriorating ducted system will be impacting the comfort levels in your home too, with excessive noise and uneven heating and cooling common signs of demise. Below we explain how upgrading your old ducted system could save you money. Ducted Air Conditioning Running Cost The R&D team from Daikin compared the average running costs of an old ducted system, which was released in 2000, to its current premium inverter system. They had both systems running for identical periods of time and calculated the operating expense of each. What they found was that replacing an old Daikin system with a new premium inverter system could save homeowners a staggering 25 per cent on running costs. A significant improvement in energy efficiency and expenses can be linked to changes which have been possible thanks to advancements in technology. Without getting too technical, here’s some of the notable changes and what they mean for you: Inverter Technology – allows the desired temperature to be reached faster. It also helps to maintain the home’s temperature. Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) Control – this measures indoor and outdoor temperatures to calculate an ideal room temp. The control then adjusts temperature to the optimum balance which boosts efficiency and comfort. Temperature Limit Operations – this reduces energy consumption because it allows you to predetermine the temperature range for both heating and cooling. Daikin Ducted Air Conditioning Cost Comparison: Old Vs New Source: Daikin Replacing Ducted Air Conditioning Unit Don’t want to give up on your trusted old air conditioner? Or think if it’s not broken, there’s no need to fix it? A quality ducted system that’s been well maintained should last for between 15 and 20 years, but eventually will need to be replaced – especially if you want to reduce those operating costs. The qualified air conditioning team at Power Trip Services understand that replacement can be costly but keeping a dying system in place may ultimately lead to more expenses and repairs.

How to Save 46% On Split System Running Costs

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. Learn more about it here.
