Current situation of Tuen Mun property market
Property prices continue to fall, and there are new units in Tuen Mun for sale at "bloodletting prices", including many existing projects. Owners who bought new buildings a few years ago cannot avoid being exposed to the sun. At the same time, the "spicy withdrawal" effect has almost completely faded, and there is a lack of definite news about interest rate cuts from the outside. This will inevitably increase the psychological pressure of the owners. We can only stick to the foundation more pragmatically and wait for the dawn to appear.
The importance of saving money
A small number can make a long calculation. When paying high interest rates and repaying a mortgage, saving money is naturally an important part. In addition to reducing out-of-home consumption, there is actually room to save money on daily living expenses. The main goal is electricity bills.
The current weather is hot, and the air-conditioning time at home is naturally much longer. At the same time, it is inevitable to further lower the air-conditioning temperature. While maintaining a comfortable indoor environment, it also increases a lot of energy consumption, and the corresponding electricity bill is naturally much higher.
Maintaining air conditioners can save 10 to 30% on electricity bills
It is almost impossible not to turn on the air conditioner like former Observatory Director Lam Chiu-ying, especially if there are babies or elderly people at home. Excessive frugality in order to save energy is unreasonable and may not be suitable for most people. To effectively reduce the electricity bill caused by the energy consumption of household appliances, in addition to replacing them with newer electronic products or appliances with better energy efficiency, one of the recommended steps is to do a good job of maintenance. In particular, regular air-conditioning cleaning can improve the cooling effect of the air-conditioning, depending on the air-conditioning method and model, and can effectively save 10% to 30% on electricity bills.
The importance of air conditioner maintenance
More importantly, air conditioner cooling is a trade-off situation. In the case of effective cooling, energy can be saved and electricity bills can be reduced. In the same way, if there is a lack of maintenance and the cooling effect is poor, the cost of air conditioning will also increase significantly. If users find that their electricity bills have increased significantly compared with the same period last year, far exceeding the increase in electricity bills per kilowatt hour, they should pay attention to the possibility that there may be an "accident" with the air conditioner in their home.
The Importance of Professional Cleaning of Air Conditioners
Although hiring a company that specializes in cleaning air conditioners may involve costs, it is also advisable to save money on electricity bills. On the other hand, air conditioners are easy to accumulate bacteria and mold. If they are not cleaned for a long time, it may make people who stay indoors for a long time prone to discomfort, and it will also increase family medical expenses. Since the COVID-19 epidemic, many Hong Kong families have paid more attention to the sanitation of their home environment and are aware of the "cost" related to health. Therefore, more families have hired professional air-conditioning cleaning companies to have their air conditioners professionally cleaned every year.
When choosing an air-conditioning cleaning company, you need to pay attention to services and charges.
Just like choosing a bank to apply for a mortgage, choosing an air-conditioning cleaning company requires shopping around. In addition to paying attention to the charges and service details, you should also pay attention to whether there are other hidden charges. For example, if there is not enough space in the home for personnel to clean the air conditioner, it may involve dismantling the air conditioner and installing it. And if the air conditioner itself is damaged or abnormal, under normal circumstances, a reputable company will first notify the user whether to continue cleaning. If there are any abnormalities in the air conditioner after cleaning, such as dripping problems, a free warranty will be provided for a certain period, so remember to spend some time to understand the service quality of the air conditioner cleaning company.
