How to reduce energy costs with winter air conditioning maintenance

Come ridurre i costi energetici con la manutenzione dei climatizzatori invernali

Air conditioners are not only essential in the summer, but can also offer valuable assistance in heating in the winter. However, thorough maintenance is essential to ensure efficiency and reduce energy consumption. Let's find out together how to take care of your air conditioner during the colder months.

Why is maintenance important?

A dirty or malfunctioning air conditioner consumes more energy and offers poorer performance. Regular maintenance ensures: Greater energy efficiency: reduces the system's effort to heat the room.

  • Better air quality: prevents dust and allergens from accumulating in the filters.
  • Long device life: Proper maintenance prevents costly breakdowns.
  • Cleaning the filters: the first step towards saving money.

    Filters are one of the most important components of an air conditioner, as they trap dust and particles in the air. To keep them clean:

    • Remove them and rinse them under warm running water.
    • Let them dry completely before reinserting them.
    • If damaged, replace them with compatible filters.
    • Recommended products for effective cleaning

    For a more thorough cleaning, you can use specific cleaners such as Zep Foaming Coil Cleaner. This product removes grease, dust, and residue without damaging surfaces, leaving your air conditioner perfectly sanitized.

    Sanitizing your air conditioner

    In addition to cleaning, it's important to sanitize your air conditioner to eliminate bacteria and unpleasant odors. The Zep Zepynamic Sanitizing Deodorant is perfect for this purpose. Simply apply it to the ventilation grilles for an antibacterial action that guarantees fresh, clean air.

    Periodic maintenance: what to do and when

    To keep your air conditioner efficient all year round:

    • Every 3 months check and clean the filters
    • Once a year have the unit inspected by a qualified technician to check the refrigerant gas level and the condition of the internal components
    • Before winter, perform a deep cleaning to prepare the system for seasonal use

    Golden rules for saving energy

    In addition to maintenance, here are some practical tips to optimize the use of your Air conditioning:

    • Set the correct temperature: Don't exceed 20-22°C to avoid waste.
    • Use inverter mode: This technology automatically adjusts the air conditioning's power based on needs, reducing consumption.
    • Seal doors and windows: Prevent heat loss that increases the air conditioning's workload.
    • Turn off the air conditioning when not needed: Use a programmable thermostat to program it to turn on.

    Proper maintenance saves you money.

    A well-maintained air conditioning not only ensures comfort during the winter, but also allows you to save on energy costs. Investing in quality products, such as Zep Foaming Cleaner and Zep Zepynamic Sanitizing Deodorant, is a fundamental step in maintaining the efficiency of your system.
