The fall season provides an excellent opportunity for MEP preparation for the harsh winter, since the weather is cool and pleasant. When the winter comes, your building can warm its interior at a lower energy cost. Our MEC engineers will suggest some tips that can help achieve efficient MEP usage that you can absolutely follow this autumn.

In the fall, we highly recommend the preparation of your air conditioner. You should hire a licensed HVAC professional to inspect and detect issues before the weather gets cold. This way you can avoid emergency preparations during winter, when there are fewer scheduling options and the prices are higher. Make sure your air conditioner is maintenanced regularly as recommended by the manufacturer, since an air conditioner will only operate correctly with its efficient component parts.

Moreover, using ceiling appliances efficiently is a great way to save energy as well as create a comfortable atmosphere. With smart usage, ceiling fans and curtains can increase the overall efficiency of a home. Fans are normally used to cool interior spaces during summer, but they can also sometimes support to avoid stifling atmosphere in the winter. During winter days, curtains can remain open to take advantage of solar heat, which allows the accumulation of indoor heat.

Finally, occupants should take control the thermostat settings properly. When you are at home, use the lowest temperature that feels comfortable. These simple measures can save over 10% on heating costs. When the house is occupied during the day, set temperatures between 22° C to 25 ° C. When the house is empty during the day or while sleeping hours, set temperatures between 16° C to 18 ° C. You also consider using a smart thermostat, which learns usage habits on its own. This way, you can avoid adjusting the thermostat several times per day.

MEC engineers suppose that the best MEP system is not the most expensive, it should be the most suitable one. Occupants can definitely enjoy comfortable atmosphere just by adjusting the temperature, location, time according to their needs and weather. Especially, our engineers believe that having carefully prepared household appliances that can adapt to strict conditions is a smart way to optimize cost and comfort for occupants.
