Air Conditioning operation 

It is crucial that your Air Conditioner is operating at maximum efficiency, as your Air Conditioner could be using close to 70% of your total power. We install an intelligent thermostat controller that improves the performance of air conditioning installations by optimising the compressor run time and reducing compressor cycling, reducing energy consumption by up to 40%.

Demand Reductions

In most cases, approximately 50% of your Energy bill is a Demand or Capacity Charge, this is a large section of your Network Tariff. Your peak energy usage may spike on the one occasion when your turn on much of your heavy using equipment at the same time; like your air conditioning and refrigeration in the middle of summer! Once you have that peak spike, you will then continually be charged for that amount ongoing. We monitor your usage and will look for opportunities to avoid the spikes – saving you up to 50% on these charges. Meaning BIG savings.

Refrigeration and Cool Room efficiencies

If your business has cold rooms and refrigeration we can reduce consumption by 30% or more. By simply adding control modules to compressor units, in addition to new temperature dispersant thermostats, we are able to reduce compressor running times, stagger fan operation and prevent short cycling (cutting in and out frequently). These control modules dramatically decrease power consumption, wear and breakdown.

Reduced Maintenance and repair costs

Over time equipment drifts from settings and errors develop in electrical and mechanical components in Refrigeration and Air Conditioning. Small faults and failures in minor components such as a thermostat or relay can go un- detected for months or years and double or treble power consumption. It can also cause major mechanical damage to equipment. The Building Tuner will monitor usage to enable you to identify any issues so that repairs can be undertaken to avoid power wastage and significant damage to equipment.
