Beat the Heat: Energy-Efficient Cooling Solutions for Sunshine Coast Homes

Here in Sunshine Coast, we used to experience long sunny days, having outdoor activities while enjoying the coastal breeze. But as the summer arrives, the rise of the temperature and the setting in of the humidity are some of the challenges in keeping your home comfortable, especially in choosing between staying cool and managing the cost of electricity bills.

Achieving the cool condition of your home here in the Sunshine Coast doesn't need to sacrifice high energy bills. At Axon Electrical, we provide energy-efficient cooling options that will help you maximize your comfort while minimizing your costs. Our team specializes in installing fans, reverse-cycle air conditioning, and electrical upgrades that will match the insulation of your home and will ensure to keep your home cool and your electricity bill at a low level.

1. Ceiling Fans – a Sunshine Coast Essential

It is important to have a simple yet efficient ceiling fan as it provides:

• Energy Efficiency

  
  

  Compared to the air conditioner, a ceiling fan consumes only a portion of the power. The cost is only a few cents per hour when running a fan which makes it a budget-friendly cooling system.

  
  

• Circulation Power

  
  

  Ceiling fans do not lower the temperature of the room, it creates a cooling effect of up to 4°C by moving air in the room across your skin.

  
  

• Modern Aesthetic

  
  

  You can choose stylish fans with sleek designs and with integration of LED lighting. Having a fan is both functional and stylish that will surely upgrade your dream home.

  
  

Axon Electrical Tip

Choose to install ceiling fans in your bedrooms and living areas to have greater efficiency. When used together with air conditioning, ceiling fans are able to set your AC to a higher temperature without sacrificing comfort which eventually will impact on your power bill savings.

2. Reverse-Cycle Air Conditioning – Cooling and Heating in One

Aside from being suitable for day-to-day cooling, reverse-cycle split-system air conditioners bring exact control of temperature and convenience in the long run.

• Dual Function

  
  

  Reverse-cycle systems provide cooling in summer and also efficient heating in winter, which is best to have here in Sunshine Coast's mild climate.

  
  

• Zoned Comfort

  
  

  In your lounge and master bedroom which are essential areas, install fans to have specific cooling as needed. Avoid wasting energy in the areas of your room that are mostly unused.

  
  

• Energy Efficiency

  
  

  Take advantage of some features of modern air conditioners that come with eco-modes, timers, and smart controls. This will enable you to schedule cooling only when it is necessary.

  
  

Axon Electrical Tip

Consider prioritizing the energy star rating when purchasing an AC system. Choose a higher star rating that means greater efficiency, this will lead to lower costs and a less impact on the environment.

3. Insulation-Friendly Electrical Solutions

To have an efficient cooling of your home does not only depend on fans and air conditioning, but you also have to consider how effectively the house can retain cool air.

• LED Lighting

  
  

Having the traditional halogen lights has the ability to generate excess heat, this will force the air conditioner to function harder. Choose LED downlights that will reduce heat output and will also lower the consumption of energy.

• Insulation-Safe Fittings

  
  

If your home is with ceiling insulation, it is vital to select the appropriate electrical fittings. The incorrect or poor installation of downlights or exhaust fans would affect the insulation's effectiveness, and this could result in overworking your cooling system.

• Smart Wiring

Ensure to have a well-designed electrical system that will enable accurate zoning, timers, and overall energy management. This offers greater control over the operation of your cooling systems.

Axon Electrical Tip

Have a consultation from your electrician on draft-proofing around electrical fittings. The minor gaps that might exist in your ceiling can enable the hot air in and cool air to escape, and this impacts your air conditioning's efficiency.
