Types of Air Conditioners

There are 4 types of air conditioning systems commonly used in Australian households: split system, evaporative coolers, portable air conditioning units and window wall units. Split systems are fairly simple to install with an indoor unit and a compressor unit that can be placed outside. They also exist in multi-head variations that also provide heating. An evaporative air conditioning system is a ducted one that requires ductwork to be installed in the home. It is an extremely cost efficient form of cooling that utilizes fresh air rather than a refrigerant to cool the space. With the ductwork in place, it can also be adapted to allow for reverse cycle heating. Portable air conditioners and window wall units are singular units that require little effort to install but are also less efficient than aforementioned systems.

Size of Space

When looking to install an air conditioning unit, the size of the intended space will affect the efficiency of cooling. Factors like the number of windows, ventilation and air flow can also influence the performance of your air conditioner. It is important to choose a properly sized air conditioning system that compliments the size of the room. An undersized system will result in insufficient cooling, a higher energy bill and a shorter lifespan from the strain placed on the system. Similarly, an oversized system means high operation costs and uncomfortable temperature changes. Ducted systems are able to cool the whole home whereas split systems require a unit to be installed in every room that requires cooling.

Return of Investment

Aircon installation Perth can be thought of as an investment, with returns reaped from energy savings. Skimping on a proper installation can end up costing you more in repairs and replacements in the long run whereas a well maintained, correctly installed system can be extremely cost efficient, not to mention add value to your home, in the event that you decide to sell it.
