04.  Tips on Using the Air Conditioner

04.01.  Operating Tips for Summer

It is recommended to test run your air conditioner a few weeks before the start of summer and make sure it is cooling 
sufficiently. If the air conditioner needs servicing, we advise you to have this done before the summer season arrives.

A hot day is forecast for tomorrow, what should you do?

Always start the air conditioner early in the morning and keep the house/office cool. If you try and start the air conditioner 
in the afternoon when the house/office is already very hot, it may take a while to cool down. Keep all curtains and windows 
closed. Also stop drafts coming in from outside.

If zones have been installed you should turn off any zone that is not being occupied. This will allow higher cooling capacity 
for the occupied areas.

Ask your installer for any zoning limitations for your system.

 NOTE

Always allow the necessary amount of fresh air into rooms.

04.02.  Operating Tips for Winter

It is recommended to test run your air conditioner a few weeks before the start of winter and make sure it is heating 
sufficiently. If the air conditioner needs servicing, it is advised you have this done before the winter season arrives.

A cold day is forecast for tomorrow, what should you do?

You can leave the air conditioner running overnight, but lower the set point 2-4

o

C from your normal setting to help 

reduce power consumption. This will assist the house/office from becoming too cold overnight and thus enabling the air 
conditioner to warm the house/office quicker when you raise the temperature set point back to your usual setting.

OR

Start the air conditioner a couple of hours earlier than you normally would in the morning. If outside conditions are very 
cold (approximately 7

o

C or lower) supplementary heating may be used such as electric or gas heaters to complement and 

speed the heating up. This can be done by setting an ON timer prior to going to bed.

Keep all curtains and windows closed. Also stop drafts coming in from outside. When operating your system overnight or 
when the home/office is unoccupied, it is recommended on heating mode to turn the wall controller temperature down 
by 2-4

o

C. Alternatively when operating your system in cooling mode to turn the wall controller temperature up by 2-4

o

C. 

This will help to reduce power consumption.

Ask your installer for any zoning limitations for your system.

 NOTE

Always allow the necessary amount of fresh air into rooms.

04.03.  Energy Conservation Tips

For the most efficient operation, keep the windows and doors closed including unused areas where possible. This 
approach not only helps to insulate against heat and cold, it also reduces dust, pollen and noise. Occasionally allow 
fresh air into rooms and offices that are closed off. When operating your system overnight or when the home/office is 
unoccupied it is recommended in heating mode to turn the wall controller temperature down by 2-4

o

C. Alternatively 

when operating your system in cooling mode to turn the wall controller temperature up by 2-4

o

C. This will help to reduce 

power consumption.

The normal wall controller setting recommended is 22

o

C for summer and winter.

By raising the set point by 1

o

C in summer or lowering the set point by 1

o

C in winter, you can save approximately 10% on 

electricity costs.

If your air conditioner has zones fitted, always turn off the zoned areas that are unoccupied.
