Always test run your air conditioner a few weeks
before the start of summer and make sure it’s cooling
suffi ciently.
If the air conditioner needs servicing, it’s advised you have this done before
the summer season arrives.
2
A COLD day is forecast for tomorrow, what should you
do?
You can leave air conditioner running overnight, but lower the set point
2-4
o
C from your normal setting to help save electricity. This will
prevent the house/offi ce from becoming too cold overnight and thus
enabling the air conditioner to warm the house/offi ce 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 (approx. 7
o
C or lower) supplementary
heating may be used such as electric or gas heaters to complement &
speed the heating up.
Keep all curtains and windows closed. Also stop drafts coming in from your
front & back doors.
If you have zones, turn off any you are not using and close doors to these
areas, as this will give you more heating capacity in the areas you need.
Ask your installer on the minimum zones you should use on your system.
Always allow the necessary amount of fresh air into rooms.
