3 Ways to Reduce Energy Costs This Summer with Smart Air Con Use

Aussie Coast Air Conditioning – 8th November 2025

Energy bills always rise in summer—especially across the Shoalhaven where air conditioners work overtime. The good news? You don’t have to sacrifice comfort for savings. Here are 3 simple ways to keep your home cool AND your electricity bill low.

1. Service Your System Before Summer

A clogged filter or blocked duct makes your air conditioner work harder and use more power. A pre-season tune-up can save up to 15% off cooling costs. That’s real money in your pocket when the heat arrives.

2. Use “Eco” or “Dry” Mode

Most modern air conditioners have energy-efficient modes that use less power by regulating temperature more gently. Set your unit to 24–25°C during the day for a good balance of comfort and savings.

3. Cool the Space, Not the Whole House

Close off unused rooms, draw the curtains, and use ceiling fans to circulate cool air. If you’ve got a split system in the living room, you don’t need it on full blast in the hallway.

Pro Tip: Local Shoalhaven residents are switching to ducted zoning, so they can control cooling in different rooms throughout the day. We install smart, zoned ducted systems throughout Nowra, Berry, and the Bay & Basin.
