Maximizing Energy Efficiency in Your Home: Tips and Tricks
At AA Plus Energy, we provide cutting-edge, energy-efficient heating and cooling solutions tailored for Australian businesses. In this case study, we showcase how one commercial client successfully replaced their outdated gas heating with a modern reverse-cycle air conditioning system, resulting in a 30% reduction in energy costs.
🏢 The Challenge: Outdated Gas Heating & Rising Bills
The business operated with an aging gas ducted heating system that was inefficient, costly to maintain, and contributed to high carbon emissions. With increasing energy prices, they were looking for a cost-effective, future-proof solution.
🔍 Step 1: Comprehensive Energy Audit
Our audit identified:
Excessive energy use during winter
A low-efficiency gas heater with a poor Coefficient of Performance (COP)
High operating costs with no zoning control
⚙️ Step 2: Reverse-Cycle Air Conditioning Installation
We replaced the gas system with a ducted reverse-cycle air conditioner, offering both heating and cooling with far greater efficiency. Benefits included:
High COP (3.5–5.0): More heating/cooling output per unit of electricity
Zoned climate control: Reduced energy use by heating only where needed
Cleaner energy profile: Reduced reliance on gas and improved sustainability
💸 Step 3: Maximizing Rebates & Efficiency
Our team helped the business secure:
VEU rebates for upgrading to an energy-efficient air conditioner
A future-ready design allowing solar integration for offsetting power usage
Ongoing energy monitoring to track performance and savings
📉 The Result
30% drop in monthly heating costs
Enhanced comfort and air quality
Lowered carbon emissions and energy footprint
