Hands Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo) has been offering summer power-saving and money-saving items at Hands stores and its online store since early April.
Anticipating a hotter-than-average summer this year from June to August, similar to previous years.
It's time to review air conditioning efficiency before summer fully arrives. We introduce items that can save energy in the long term with early power-saving measures for the prolonged summer.
■ Energy-saving measures by preventing heat intrusion from windows
By blocking sunlight entering the room, the effectiveness of air conditioning can be enhanced, making it easy to save power.
Meiwa Gravure Insulation Curtain Liner 100×140cm 1,380 yen
Easily blocks heat from outside by simply attaching it to a curtain rail. It also has antibacterial and mold-proof effects, reducing cleaning effort, and UV cut effect, preventing skin and furniture from sunburn.
【New Product】Nitoms All-season Anti-condensation Insulation Aluminum Sheet 2,520 yen
This insulation sheet, simply applied to window glass, exhibits the highest heat-shielding and insulation effect in the series*. It can be used all year round to block strong sunlight and reduce heat in summer, and prevent cold from windows and improve heating efficiency in winter.
*This is due to the reflection effect of the thickest air layer (approx. 7mm) and aluminum sheet layer in the series.
Lintec Commerce Energy-saving Privacy Sheet Frosted Glass Type 1,780 yen
This is a water-applied insulation sheet. It can be repeatedly attached and removed like a suction cup and can be used on wired glass and double-glazed glass. It blocks 99% of UV rays while providing privacy with its frosted glass effect.
■ Power saving with a little ingenuity around air conditioners
Reducing the temperature rise of the outdoor unit of an air conditioner leads to energy saving. Also, air conditioners' cooling efficiency decreases when dust accumulates, so regular cleaning helps save power.
【New Product】Air Conditioner Outdoor Unit Heat Shielding Tape 3,278 yen
By simply applying it to the top of the air conditioner outdoor unit, it reflects sunlight and suppresses the temperature rise of the outdoor unit's surface. Since it's a tape type, it can be easily attached to the top, front, and sides.
Copa Corporation Kabisshu Trail 2,970 yen
This item thoroughly cleans air conditioner dirt with its fluffy foam. It comes with a cleaning agent, rinsing agent, and plastic bag, making air conditioner cleaning easy.
Copa Corporation Air Conditioner专用 Brush Fan Fan 908 yen
This is a dedicated brush for air outlets, convenient for removing dust from the air vents. It can be used by simply wetting and squeezing it, and its fluffy bristles absorb dirt. The brush can also be bent to fit the shape of the air conditioner.
■ Heatstroke measures even outside the home
In addition to indoor power saving and energy-saving measures, we also offer convenient goods that can be used outdoors and in cars.
Shinwa Rules Portable Simple Heatstroke Meter Basic 1,680 yen
This is a thermometer/hygrometer that notifies the heatstroke warning level with large LCD characters, icons, and sound. It comes with a band that can be easily attached to a bag, and its waterproof and dustproof performance makes it safe for outdoor activities.
Revex Easy Operation Digital Timer 2,580 yen
This timer automatically turns electrical appliances on and off when the time and day are set. By attaching it to appliances used with air conditioners, such as fans and circulators, cooling efficiency can be improved.
*All prices include tax. Product content and price information are as of the time of publication.
*Product availability may vary by store.
