Improving Actron air conditioning efficiency in the off season

Matt Mouritz · Director

The Actron air conditioning system is an excellent piece of equipment, but like many systems, its performance can always be improved. We only use our air con for certain portions of the year, and when they are not needed, it’s the perfect time to improve their performance. This could be a much needed repair or service, but there are other areas that could benefit from some attention.

Check for air leaks:

This is quite a common problem in older homes or those fitted with older doors and windows. Even modern homes could have air leaks from tiny holes located around doors and windows. These leaks allow treated air to escape and decrease the level of efficiency of your system. This will lead to higher energy bills and a loss in cooling when the weather gets hotter. A professional local air conditioning specialist will be able to carry out an energy audit and identify any air leaks in your home.

Carry out essential repairs:

The off season is the perfect time to address any performance issues that you may have noticed with your air conditioning system. Perhaps, you’ve noticed an increase in your energy bill, strange noise or a lack of cooling? All of these problems, raise your energy bill and cause a loss of performance. Get in touch with a local specialist; they will be able to get your system ready for the next cooling season.

Invest in a new thermostat:

The latest thermostats on the market are packed with features that would have seemed like science fiction only a few years ago. Using a smartphone app, you can communicate with your system remotely via WiFi and have instant control. An advanced digital thermostat has a lot of programmability, but it cannot compare with the immediacy of using a smart thermostat.

Organise your annual system maintenance:

It’s vitally important to have regular annual maintenance for your air conditioning system. In fact, twice per year prior to the main heating and cooling seasons is even better. This will reduce the chances of a system failure, increase efficiency and it might even extend the lifespan of your equipment. Speak to your local air conditioning specialist about organising a regular maintenance schedule for the year.

Choose the best next step for your home

Ducted reverse cycle

Ducted reverse cycle air conditioning heats and cools your whole home from one system, so you don’t need separate heating and cooling. Zone control sends air only to the rooms you’re using. We work out how many zones you need from the size and layout of your home and how you use it.

Ducted evaporative

A ducted evaporative system from Mouritz cools your home with fresh outside air, and its main advantage is low running costs. It’s cooling only, and works best with a few windows or doors open so the cooled air can flow through the house.

Split systems

A split system heats and cools a room or area, so it suits homes that don’t need whole-home air conditioning. Each one has an outdoor unit and an indoor wall-mounted unit. Split systems work for one room or several, and keep purchase, installation and running costs low.

Solar

A solar power system from Mouritz gives you more control over your energy use and helps reduce your power bills. We design and install panels around your home and energy needs, and battery storage lets you use stored power when you need it. Buying air conditioning too? We offer extra discounts when you buy both together.

Ducted gas heating

Ducted gas heating from Mouritz warms your whole home through ducts and vents, with zoning so you only heat the rooms you need, which can help reduce your energy bills. Installation can be more involved than other heating systems, but you get even, efficient warmth throughout the house.

Service & repairs

Regular servicing keeps your air conditioning running efficiently, which saves on energy costs. Our experienced service team responds promptly to breakdowns and maintenance issues. We recommend servicing most systems once a year.
