We've put together a few simple tips that can help keep you comfortable during hot weather and reduce your power bills.
✔ Set the right temperature
- Summer: 24–26°C
- Winter: 18–20°C
- Setting it colder won’t cool the house faster — it just increases electricity use.
✔ Use it wisely
- Close doors, windows and curtains.
- Only cool the rooms you’re using.
- Turn it on before your home becomes extremely hot.
- Use fans to circulate cool air.
✔ Maintain it
- Clean filters every 1–3 months.
- Keep outdoor units clear of leaves and debris.
- Report faults early — don’t ignore strange noises or leaks.
If hot weather impacts your disability or medical condition, make sure you let your landlord know so they can respond quickly in the event of an emergency.
