Australia’s climate varies from tropical to temperate, so picking the right air conditioner affects comfort, efficiency, and running costs. A poor choice can lead to high energy bills and ineffective cooling.
Factors to Consider
- Home size and layout – Larger homes may need ducted systems; smaller homes can use split systems.
- Climate zone – Coastal areas might benefit from dehumidifying models, while inland areas focus on cooling and heating.
- Energy efficiency – Look for units with high star ratings.
- Installation costs – Consider upfront installation vs. long-term savings.
- Noise levels – Especially important for bedrooms and open-plan living areas.
Step-by-Step Selection Guide
- Measure your space – Know the square metres to calculate cooling capacity.
- Research types of AC – Split system, ducted, portable, or reverse cycle.
