Air Conditioning Controls

We offer a range of Mitsubishi Electric control options designed to help your use your air conditioning systems more efficiently. The need for control is paramount in order to optimise the performance of any air conditioning system and minimise its running costs. When an air conditioning system is not properly controlled, it will not run as efficiently as it should. Even one degree deviation from the required temperature can result in up to five percent increased energy costs.

Adding controls to a system will not simply create a saving, it is the use of the controls that achieves the saving. Below are some example control strategy improvements that will help you more effectively use your Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system controller to reduce energy consumption, running costs and environmental impact.

• Install the right level of control (type of control system) for your building size and type.
• Understand the features offered by your controller and use them to gain better control of your air conditioning system
• Set timer controls to turn off at night times, weekends and bank holidays i.e. whenever the building is unoccupied
• Have someone with the responsibility for monitoring your air conditioning control systems to avoid incorrect use.
• Position thermostats correctly i.e. not too near electronic equipment that generate heat and also avoiding direct sunlight.
• Avoid operating heating and cooling simultaneously
• When a room is too hot or too cold do not set temperature cooler/hotter than the desirable temperature in an attempt to speed up the temperature change as this can cause energy wasting through “overshoot”
