Using heating and air conditioning services for an energy audit

Matt Mouritz · Director

When they think about heating and cooling, Perth residents may already know the benefits that can be enjoyed by carrying out regular servicing. Having equipment that is well maintained is a great way to enjoy improved efficiency, lower energy bills and a lower chance of equipment fail. However, even if your equipment is working well, you may notice that your energy bills are still higher than they should be. This could happen for a wide variety of different reasons, and the best way to find out what is going on is to have an energy audit. This service is a significant investment in the future of your air conditioning equipment and the energy efficiency in your home.

How does an energy audit work?

When considering any kind of heating and cooling, Perth residents should contact a well respected local HVAC company. This kind of service will be key in getting a professional energy audit carried out. The initial steps will be to carry out a thorough assessment of your home, factors other than your air conditioning equipment will be taken into consideration, and a physical inspection will be required.

What does the inspection cover?

Aside from your HVAC equipment, other aspects of your home that relate to heating and cooling will be investigated. This will include:

  • A measure of the strength and direction of the airflow.
  • An overview of your energy spending.
  • An overview of your energy usage habits.
  • A thorough evaluation of your home insulation.
  • An inspection of your ductwork for leaks and blockages.
  • Indoor and outdoor equipment inspections for your HVAC equipment.

What happens next?

After the energy audit has been carried out on your home, the technician that carried out the audit will give you a report containing their findings. This will show you where it is possible to improve the energy efficiency and comfort levels in your home. These changes could include some or all of the following improvements:

  • Sealing leaking ducts.
  • Cleaning ductwork.
  • Adding blown-in insulation.
  • Adding indoor air quality equipment.
  • Sealing leaks around windows and doors.
  • Replacing or updating air conditioning equipment.

Making these improvements can be scheduled with your technician as required. However, carrying this work out before a heating or cooling season begins, will improve energy efficiency immediately for that season.

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.
