Lets face it – CHEAPEST IS NOT THE BEST DEAL!

Cheapest is just plain cheapest!  We don’t buy the cheapest shoes!  We don’t buy the cheapest shirt, camera, refrigerator, car, TV, etc.  (I think you get the picture).  If we’re going to buy a car, we look at price (for sure), brand, features, quality, etc.  We ask others about their experience.  We do this without even thinking about it.  This same process needs to apply when buying Air Conditioning systems.

  • Air Conditioning systems are very mechanical.  They have a lot of moving parts like fans, motors, compressors, etc.  The better the quality of these parts and components, the less chance of breakdowns and repairs.  Even other parts like circuit boards can be cheaply made to cut down on cost.

We consider our air conditioning systems by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and investment in energy saving and conservation.  They are an investment because with today’s exorbitant energy costs and the energy efficiency of our systems, the initial investment is paid back completely in 2 to 4 years after which you go on saving for many, many more years to come.

  • If we deposit $20,000 in a bank (or any financial institution) for 2 – 4 years, can we be earning (approximately) $5,000 interest a year after that? for the next 5 to 10 years?
  • You can think of the investment in our air conditioning systems as an investment with the above returns while getting a ‘free state-of-the-art air conditioning system thrown in’.
  • This investment is pretty much guaranteed – unless you’re one of those persons that think energy prices will decrease significantly over the next few years.

Investment in Renewable Energy projects

If you were to get advice from any independent Energy Consultant (and many others in the Energy Industry), they will tell you that it only makes sense to lower your energy needs before embarking on a full scale renewable energy project.  This is done primarily by -

  • changing your energy usage habits and patterns
  • using equipment and appliances that are very energy efficient

It only makes sense!  If your energy requirements are less, it will cost you less for your renewable energy project and the payback will be faster.

Again, let’s face it – WE’RE NOT DOING THIS TO SAVE THE EARTH, WE’RE DOING THIS TO SAVE MONEY!

Potential financial savings

We all know that (other than for manufacturing equipment) air conditioning energy requirements are typically the largest part of your electricity bill.  In normal business environments, this can be 70% to 80% of the electricity bill.  In hotels, this is 55% – 65% of the electricity bill.  This can quickly add up at the end of a year.

To illustrate this, follow this simple exercise -

Sample Business Your Business
Monthly Electricity Bill 10,000 __________
Cost for Air conditioning (75%) 17,500 __________
Monthly savings  (50%) 3,750 __________
Yearly savings (X 12) 45,000 __________

OR

Sample Hotel Your Hotel
Monthly Electricity Bill 10,000 __________
Cost for Air conditioning (60%) 6,000 __________
Monthly savings  (50%) 3,000 __________
Yearly savings (X 12) 36,000 __________

What other investment can you expect those returns??
