Summer is here, and we’re well on our way to reaching the scorching temperatures for which the Gold Coast is famous. To live comfortably in this hot and humid part of the country, it’s essential to have a good air conditioner to keep your home cool and comfortable. But not all air conditioners are created equal, and if yours doesn’t utilise the latest, energy-efficient technology, your power bill will bring a very nasty surprise very soon.

Here are some essential questions to ask:

How Energy Efficient Is My Air Conditioner?

We’re blessed with long summers, which is lovely, but this also means our air conditioners work overtime. If you have an older model air conditioner, this could cost you a lot of money. It’s a good idea to call in a professional to assess how efficient your air conditioner is before the heat sets in.

Is Yours A Reverse Cycle Air Conditioner?

A reverse cycle air conditioner is an excellent money-saving investment. These energy efficient systems absorb heat from the air within the house and send it outside, leaving your home lovely and refreshing. In winter, they take warmth from the air outside and dissipate it inside. Reverse cycle air conditioners are perfect for summer and winter, and because they don’t have to “create” cool or warm air, they are super-efficient year-round.

Does Your Air Conditioner Utilise An Inverter?

Modern reverse cycle air conditioners come with thermostats and advanced inverter technology that adapts to the temperature of the room, adjusting the temperature accordingly. They reach the desired temperature faster than air conditioners without inverters and maintain the temperature while consuming minimal power.

The good news is that if you answered no to any of these questions, Good Vibes Electrical can help you ensure that your air conditioner can handle the heat, and you may not necessarily need to buy a new unit.

Upgrading your existing air conditioning system can save you a lot of money. New units can use up to 50% less power, and upgraded units up to 40%.
