The average household in Bangalore spends around Rs.1200 – Rs.1500 per month on utilities while electricity is a significant component of the allocation. A few years ago, air conditioning in Bangalore homes was unheard of! However with changing climatic conditions, the temperatures are soaring and this year, reports suggest the summer would not be too kind on Bengalureans.
Having said that, most residents are opting to install air conditioning systems in Bangalore and are turning it up to full blast. In case you are still worried about getting that air-con system and the hefty electricity bill, you can now save electricity and avoid hefty repair bills by giving your system an annual checkup.
The best time for air conditioning system maintenance is NOW before extreme temperatures hit, so try these energy-saving tune-up tips today:
- Cleaning/changing the air filter is very important. Doing so can lower your air conditioner’s energy consumption significantly. In the summertime, you should wash your reusable filter or replace them regularly.
- Clear the area around the outdoor unit, and ensure that the area around it in a two-foot radius is free.
- Ensure that the air conditioner refrigerant is periodically recycled or changed. And get the condenser cleaned regularly to make the air conditioning more effective.
- Check the air conditioner settings and make sure that ‘fresh air’ vent that is used to get the air outside into the room, is closed.
- Keep air conditioner at ideal temperature (depending on the outside temperature, keep it a comfortable 4-5 degrees Celsius lower. The right amount of cooling will ensure energy saving.
- Other gadgets and devices like computers, televisions and lighting radiate heat. Make sure that these devices are shut down when not in use, else they can increase air conditioning load.
- Maintain right insulation of the room where air conditioner is installed for effective cooling.
An AC is like your refrigerator, with the walls of your home keeping the cold air in and the hot air out. Hence, keep the doors and windows closed while the AC is running. An annual check-up of an AC unit is always a good call. Get a professional to check your air con systems for a professional check-up. A qualified technician will ensure your air con system is well maintained and all the parts are working perfectly well to perform to its optimal levels during the summer months.
