HR Heating and Cooling is the name that local customers trust for services and solutions.
According to some reports it now costs Australians over $1.3bn to cool their homes each summer. Considering that a lot of Australians have to cool their homes only over the summer months this is a very high amount. Making the situation even worse, nearly 25% of people leave their air conditioner (usually a split system air conditioner) on while they are not even at home.
A split system air conditioner uses approximately 5.0kWh, which means that it costs around 2.7 cents per minute. When the cost is broken down per minute it does not seem that high. However, it equates to $1.62 per hour.
Assuming you use your split system air conditioner 10 hours a day this means it is costing you $16.20 a day. Over a period of 7 days this is $113.40. So when a quarterly electricity bill arrives it is no surprise that so many people are now getting 'electricity bill shock'.
There are plenty of things you can do to keep the amount you spend on keeping your home cool (even on very hot days). Some of them include:
It is cheaper to purchase, install and operate an evaporative cooling system when compared to an equivalent split system air conditioner. In fact, it is estimated that it is up to 50% cheaper to install an evaporative cooler and 7 times cheaper to run.
Of course, you still need to make sure the evaporative cooler you install has a high energy rating. This will minimise your running costs as much as possible. It is a worthwhile investment even if the evaporative cooler is a bit more expensive than one with a lower rating.
As with all forms of air conditioning you should also make sure you turn off your evaporative cooler when you are not at home.
