How Can We Reduce The Cost Of Running Our Air Conditioner?

There are many articles on the internet that offer advice on saving money with air conditioner at our homes. The most popular idea is to make sure your air conditioner is set on 24 degrees Celsius for normal day. We're certainly not going to deny that this is a good idea. But this will only work if your air conditioner is well maintained and running at its best.
When you buy an air conditioner the manual will tell you how to clean the filters. It will recommend that this is done on a regular basis. It is true, this will help with the running costs on your unit. But what about cleaning behind the filters, who does that?
An air conditioner that's not cleaned thoroughly or maintained will use more power. It is a machine like your motor car. We all know that we must maintain our vehicles if we want them to run efficiently, use less oil and fuel. An air conditioner needs the same attention and care.
A unit not maintained or serviced will need to work harder to pump out cool or warm air. It will increase your energy bill. You'll suffer from bill shock.
Consumers are generally not made aware of this need and so are under the belief that cleaning your filters is enough. Cleaning your filters is “simple maintenance”. After regular usage, the whole head unit also needs to be “correctly” cleaned and serviced.

The Solution is HydroKleen

We specialise in one thing and we do it well. HydroKleen offer comprehensive air conditioning servicing. We specialise in cleaning and sanitising split systems and ceiling cassette units. When you get your air conditioning serviced with HydroKleen you'll save money as the unit will run more efficiently.
HydroKleening and servicing a dirty air conditioner can save you up to 30% power usage for that unit. Wow. Think about the impact this would make on your energy bill.
A dirty coil means the unit works harder to cool the air. There is much “less clean” surface area for the hot air to pass over.
If the blower fan (drum) is covered in dirt and grime – air velocity decreases markedly. So, you are tempted to turn up the fan speed and turn down the temperature to cool the room down. This of course is going to use more power!
When we HydroKleen your blower fan we can more than double the volume of air passing through it. This means that the fan motor is not working nearly as hard.
You'll easily recoup the cost for HydroKleen to annually clean your unit when you see how low your energy bill is.

3 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT AIR CONDITIONING


Temperatures are rising uncontrollably owing to climate change. But the good news is that although we could not possibly manipulate the weather, we can however control the temperature in our homes and offices by using air conditioners. Technology is indeed one step ahead so regardless if it’s scalding outside, you can be sure that as long as you have a good working air conditioner in your home, you can still feel comfortable.
Most if not all households own at least one air conditioning unit. Some may think of it as a luxury but in today’s erratic weather most people look at it as a necessity. Since air conditioners come with a hefty price tag, aside from the equipment, you also need to consider the power expense. It is ideal that you know how to take care of your air conditioning systems because you don’t want to keep on buying new air conditioners whenever they break down. Don’t let that happen because it is going to cost you a lot of money. That is why it is very important that you know a few things about your AC.
How much do you know about your air conditioner? Here are 3 things you need to know.
  1. You Need To Clean Filters Regularly

Do you know what kills the efficiency of air conditioners? It’s none other than dirty filters. We recommend you clean them each month especially during the peak seasons. Simply take them outside and gently hose them clean.
  1. You Need To Clean Your Compressor Or Condenser

Usually you’ll find your air conditioner’s condenser outside the building or house. Your condenser works at its maximum efficiency when you allocate at least twenty-four inches of clear space around it in all directions. With that being said, we recommend that you remove shrubs, grasses, leaves and branches around it.
  1. You Need Someone To Service Your Unit Regularly

Whoever installed your air conditioner should inform you about an annual cleaning schedule aside from changing and cleaning your filters. If you want your air conditioner to last a long time so you could get your money’s worth on your purchase, make sure that you find a trusted air conditioning service company that can help maintain your air conditioner. Ask about their services if it includes inspecting and cleaning coils, cleaning blowers and fans.
At KBE we can do all these and more and we are committed to making sure that your air conditioning systems are working at maximum capacity. At KBE we specialise in cleaning and servicing air conditioners to remove organisms such as bacteria, fungi, mold and mildew that can make you and your family sick.  Our comprehensive air conditioning service will make sure that the air you breathe is fresh and clean to reduce the probability of sickness caused by organisms trapped in your ACs.

How Can I Make My Air Conditioner Last Longer?

All modern homes are expected to have some form of cooling Systems. Split-system or ducted air tends to be the most popular way to keep your home at a comfortable temperature. Modern technology also dictates that rooms need to be maintained at a certain temperature.



But, to cool a home can be very expensive. A reasonable sized split system air conditioner could cost several weeks salary, and you may need more than one. A ducted system could cost several month’s salaries or the price of a small sized new car.

So, why is it then, that we tend to neglect the one item in our home that makes us the most comfortable. You can be lying on the most comfortable bed, but if you are too hot or too cold you'll be uncomfortable.

The best way to extend the life of your unit is to keep it cleaned and well maintained.

Cleaning of the Filters


We all tend to forget that we need to clean and maintain our air conditioner units. When was the last time you cleaned the filter on your unit? Was it more than a month ago, six months ago, maybe a year ago?

If you want to get a good return on your investment then you need to ensure that the unit is maintained and cleaned regularly. This regular maintenance and cleaning will sustain your unit for a much longer time.


Superior Cleaning

The filters in your air conditioner will only catch a certain amount of the dust or microbes in the air. Some of this will penetrate through the filters and onto the surface of the coil or head of the unit.

All air conditioners, after regular usage, become infected with “microbial contamination”. This contamination includes a variety of organisms such as mold, mildew, fungi, bacteria, and human DNA, (skin cells), which can make you and your family sick.

Air conditioners are the perfect environment for such contaminants. These contaminants become constantly airborne every time you switch your air conditioner on. Mold combined with humidity can be a potent mix.

So, it is essential that you arrange for a specialized air conditioner cleaner to thoroughly clean and sanitize your unit at least annually.

Having a good quality air conditioner technician is the same as having a good quality mechanic. You won’t take your car to just anyone, especially if it is your pride and joy. You want someone that you can trust. Someone that will look after you and the unit.

Air Con Cannot Turn On




If the air conditioner unit is stopped and then started immediately again, the compressor may not operate for about 2 to 3 minutes.  Whenever the power to the air compressor unit is interrupted, the protection circuit prevents the unit from re-start for several (2-3) minutes when power returns.
This is the built-in function of the protection circuit to prevent fuse blow out due to the electricity surge when power turns off and on immediately.

Problem on power switch at the fan coil unit

Fan coil is designed with a mechanical switch to enable the air conditioner to turn on and off.  Frequent use of the mechanical switch ON/OFF without remote control may result in the faulty switch.  It may turn off the air conditioner if it is malfunctioned.

Timer of the remote control unit is set.

If the timer of the remote control unit is set, it turns off the air conditioner fan coil.

Faulty fan coil printed circuit board

A printed circuit board controls the operation of the air conditioner.  If the printed circuit board is not working, it stops the whole operation of the air conditioner unit or simply shut down the air conditioner unit once power on.
We advice to employ a professional air con company to trouble shoot the probable of the problems.  As a air con service company, we will recommend the best solution on the alternate services required and its cost.
