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.

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.

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.
