Part 1: Taking The Heat Off An I-Café
The heat I am referring to is the physical heat that increases the temperature inside an i-café, not the heat on the owner’s head caused by the raging price war, declining sales and increasing operating expenses which are so prevalent in the business nowadays. Providing the customers with an ideal cool place (24 degrees Celsius +/- 2 degrees) can take its toll on the business especially in areas where keen competitions exist due to additional 30 to 50% increase on the i-café’s power bill. One could clean air conditioner with Landmark Air and their experts.
Let me start by saying that if an i-café intends to capture the more capable paying customers, a good and efficient air-conditioning system must work anytime a sufficient number of clients have already logged-in. A good number of less energy consuming electric fans can do during lean hours but the shift to the air-conditioners when the number warrants must be done without prodding by the customers.

So what am I saying? Should an i-café owner invest on air-conditioners, electric fans and exhaust fans altogether? Would air-conditioners alone not suffice, considering how convenient it is to procure San Antonio duct cleaning services? How about electric fans plus exhaust fans only? I say, yes, an i-café must have all three of them. Air-conditioners alone can definitely take the heat off but operating it continuously will be very expensive. You need the electric fans and exhaust fans at times when the customers are few in order to save power.
How about evaporating coolers and power savers sold by United PLumbing Heating Air & Electric ?Can’t they help in conserving power and providing a cool environment? Ah, wait . . . they will be the topics in one of my future post.
If I may add, it’s always a big challenge to lanshop owners like me how to keep my shop “adequately cool” at all times. I termed it that way because there has to be a balance — not to compromise the comfortability of the customers and at the same time how to control consumed electricity.
Lastly, I guess another important factor to consider for an efficient cool temperature inside a lanshop is an effective “air circulation.” just my two cents.
for the 8 years i’ve been in the business, i only used my airconditioner for only one month. that was when the prevailing price was still on 20 pesos per hour. after getting my electric bill, i did a survey of my customers, and they opted for no increase in pc rentals even if there is no airconditioner.
since my new comptitions are adopting to go on a price war to get my customers, i decided to apply what little knowledge i’ve retained of thermodynamics to get my engineering diploma.
the result is a constant tolerable temperature, even on summer days. AMWpc got it right. maximize the air circulation in your shop, and you’ll end up with a more comfortable environment for your customers. ^^
lapit na po summer, , wait ko po yun topic niyo kung effective ang evaporating coolers sa shop or baka makasira lang ito ng CPU dahil sa moist ng evap? more power po to your site sir..
