With the arrival of summer, a question arises: how can we stay cool at home without skyrocketing the electricity bill?
This is where air-source energy comes into play
Which is often associated with heating spaces in winter, but it is also very useful for cooling our home on those scorching summer days.
As it is a technology that harnesses the energy from the air to climate control much more efficiently and sustainably
To the point of offering an 80% savings compared to traditional climate control methods.
This means that for every kilowatt of electricity you consume, you can generate up to four kilowatts of thermal energy
Imagine what this could mean for your wallet and for the environment.
Sounds good, right?
Adjusting the temperature of your aerothermal system in summer
You should keep in mind that to maximize the efficiency of an aerothermal system during the summer, it is crucial to properly adjust the cooling temperature.
Maintaining an appropriate temperature not only ensures comfort in the home but also contributes to energy efficiency and reduces the electricity bill.
That way, everyone benefits. Both us and the planet
In fact, a very good idea for maintaining the temperature of the house and a pleasant feeling is to combine aerothermal energy with other cooling methods
Such as ceiling fans, which help distribute the air evenly, and combined with blackout curtains that block the heat from the sun, keep the house cool
Another tip is to open the windows at night, if possible, and early in the morning, so that natural ventilation helps maintain the temperature for a longer period
This way, the aerothermal system will work less, and in combination, you will achieve greater comfort and significantly lower costs on your bill.
Benefits of air-source energy in summe
The great advantage of aerothermal energy during the summer is that it provides uniform cooling throughout all areas of the house.
No more sleeping in a sauna and freezing while watching Netflix!
But that’s not all; it has many other benefits:
- Lower environmental impact: it uses renewable energy and decreases consumption, thus reducing greenhouse gas emissions as well.
- Comfort and well-being: the system is silent and does not produce cold drafts, which avoids discomfort and improves the quality of the indoor environment.
- Versatility: air-water systems can also provide hot water, covering all the needs of a home with a single system.
All advantages!
Ideal temperature for aerothermal energy in summer.
The perfect temperature for aerothermal air conditioning is between 24°C and 26°C.
More than sufficient to maintain comfort without incurring high energy costs.
Additionally, maintaining a stable temperature will help prolong the lifespan of your aerothermal system by preventing it from becoming overburdened
Therefore, it is important to keep this in mind and adjust or program your aerothermal system to always stay within these values
Adjusting the temperature and programming
For this, programmable control systems or smart thermostats are used
Which allow you to set the temperature according to schedules and specific needs, avoiding continuous operation and reducing energy consumption
For example, you could program it to lower the temperature during the hours when you are at home and raise it when you are away, thus optimizing energy use
What is the ideal temperature for air-source water in summer?
For an aerothermal climate control system consisting of an air-to-water heat pump and units that distribute the cold indoors (fan coils), the optimal water temperature for the system is 7°C
This regulation allows the unit that distributes the air to cool it efficiently, without excessive energy expenditure
The advantage of using this system is that the fan coils can quickly cool the interior and maintain a constant temperature
Thanks to this air-to-water cooling system
However, to keep it in good condition, regular maintenance of the system is necessary, including checking that the filters are in good condition.
This way, we ensure good performance and a long lifespan for our air-source system.
Shall we aim for a cool, efficient, and sustainable summer?
With air-source energy, it’s possible.
Now that you know how to use it efficiently, you can enjoy a cool and comfortable home without worrying about the electricity bill.
Take advantage of this innovative technology and make your summer more pleasant and cost-effective.”
