Heating and cooling typically make up 40% or more of a household or business’s energy bill. If your air conditioning system is outdated or inefficient, it may be costing you more than you think.
Here’s a breakdown of what to look for—and how AA Plus Energy can help.
🔌 1. Usage Charges (kWh)
This shows how much electricity your system consumes. Heat pumps and reverse-cycle air conditioners are far more efficient than gas heating, reducing usage charges dramatically.
🕒 2. Time-of-Use Rates
Using electricity during peak times costs more. New air conditioning systems come with smart settings that allow off-peak operation and automated scheduling.
💰 3. Daily Supply Charge
This fixed fee stays the same—but lowering your system’s daily energy consumption keeps your total bill down. Efficient heating and cooling does just that.
⚠️ 4. Demand Charges (Businesses)
Businesses often face steep demand charges during high-usage periods. A high-efficiency system reduces peak load and may prevent these spikes.
🌞 5. Solar Offset & Feed-in Tariffs
Pairing an efficient HVAC system with solar panels can slash bills further. You use solar energy for heating and cooling, and any excess is fed back to the grid—earning you credits.
