Feeling comfortable in your own home is incredibly important. From a cosy couch to a supportive bed, to a dining table for the whole family to sit around, there are many factors that contribute to creating a comfortable living space.
One of the most important aspects of home comfort is the temperature.
Having a comfortable temperature in your home can make a world of difference to your overall well-being, and so today we’re sharing our top 5 tips for creating the best comfort level in your home.
1. Set the air conditioning to 24°C
A common misconception is that the lower you set the temperature of your air conditioner, the colder the aircon will blow – however, doing this means that your aircon unit will run longer and work harder, which increases the power bill.
For energy efficiency, we recommend setting your air conditioning to 24°C. This is the perfect temperature for most people to feel comfortable, and will help to reduce your energy consumption. An air conditioning system can be set to 24°C all year round, for a consistent temperature no matter the season.
2. Clean the filter
Cleaning the filter will generally only take a few minutes, but can make a considerable difference to the comfort levels in your home.
When the filter is clogged with dirt and dust, it can restrict airflow and make the air conditioner work harder than necessary to cool or heat your home. This can not only impact your comfort levels, but also increase your energy consumption.
Exactly how to clean the filter of your system will depend on the model, so be sure to check your user manual to figure out how.
3. Turn off unused zones
Save power and money by turning off any unused individual zones with your ducted air conditioning system. You can also save energy with a ducted system by closing doors to zones you’re not using as well as un-air conditioned rooms e.g. laundry, bathrooms, toilets and garage.
Doing this can save you a considerable amount on your energy bill, so it’s definitely worth considering if you want to reduce your costs.
A ducted control panel allows you to manage each zone in your home individually.
4. Close external doors & windows
Keep external doors and windows closed when the air conditioner is running. This will help to prevent heat or cold from entering your home and making it harder for the system to maintain the desired temperature.
It’s also worth considering investing in some good quality curtains or blinds. They can help to keep your home cooler in summer and warmer in winter, which can make a big difference to your comfort levels.
You may also want to place draft-stoppers along the doors to further prevent heat or cold from escaping.
5. Choose the right-sized air conditioning for your home
This is one of the most important factors when it comes to creating a comfortable home. An air conditioner that’s too small for your space may never achieve the desired temperature, causing the system to run continuously. Your aircon will have to work harder to cool or heat the area, which can lead to higher energy bills and a less hospitable home.
On the other hand, an air conditioner that’s too large for your space will cool or heat the area too quickly and with higher noise levels it may not be suitable for the area. It’s important to have your air conditioner professionally sized for your home to ensure optimal comfort levels.
