Split system air conditioner installation

Split systems represent the most popular type of air conditioner in Australia thanks to their affordability and excellent air conditioning powers. Split systems feature an outdoor unit containing a condenser and compressor, as well as an indoor unit with an air handler.

Split systems work by pulling air from the room into the appliance. This air is cooled as it travels across evaporator coils, and it is then pushed back into the room via indoor vents. This process continues until the desired temperature is reached.

Benefits of split systems include:

They’re very easy to install – your operative simply needs to make an opening in your wall measuring around 3 inches in diameter
They’re quiet
They’re more secure than window air conditioners
They can cool different areas of the home, depending on your needs
They’re suitable for all styles of décor
They’re very energy-efficient, helping to mitigate your energy bills and carbon footprint

Ducted system air conditioner installation

Ducted air conditioning features a central fan coil that is connected to your rooms via a network of ducts. This allows users to cool the entire home and adjust the temperature of individual rooms. Ducted air conditioning is suitable for installation across all types of properties, although it requires more intensive installation work compared to a split system.

Benefits of ducted systems include:

They’re almost invisible – great if you like minimalism
They’re very energy-efficient
You can control the temperature of different rooms
They’re often cheaper to install than split air conditioning, as they use one central system

Is it cheaper to run a portable air conditioner as opposed to ducted or split systems?

It’s important to note that portable air conditioners can’t substitute for a ducted system or split system AC units, as they aren’t designed to cool an entire home. They can be costlier to operate than traditional systems and might not offer the same cooling power for larger areas.

Which aircon uses the least electricity?

Among the available options, inverter air conditioners stand out as the most energy-efficient. In comparison, non-inverter models feature a single-speed motor that frequently cycles on and off. Although inverter air conditioners come with a higher initial cost, they prove to be cost-effective in terms of energy savings in the long run.

What is the best home air conditioner in Australia?

Panasonic, Daikin, and Actron Air rank among the top air conditioner brands in Australia. These brands are renowned for their consistent delivery of high-quality, dependable air conditioning systems.

Does home AC use a lot of electricity?

The electricity consumption of an air conditioner can vary depending on several factors including the capacity of the unit, its energy-efficient rating, usage patterns, and the local climate.

In general, a ducted air conditioner typically uses around 2000 to 6000 watts per hour whilst systems units use between 650 and 2000 watts per hour.

What is the lifespan of a home air conditioner?

The typical lifespan of ducted air conditioning systems falls between 10 to 15 years. Remember, how long your air conditioner lasts depends on maintenance, usage, local climate, AC type, and the insulation and sealing of your house.

Who can install air conditioners in Australia?

According to the Australian Refrigeration Council (ARC), a licensed technician must handle the installation of split systems. Installers and technicians are mandated to possess either a full Refrigeration & Air Conditioning license or a restricted license that permits the installation of split-system air conditioners.

Can I install my own air conditioner Australia?

In Australia, it is a legal requirement to hold both electrical and refrigeration licensing to perform air conditioner installations.

Is it cheaper to leave air conditioner on all day?

Typically, during extreme heat, it’s more cost-effective to leave the AC running consistently. Yet, it’s inefficient to keep it at maximum capacity constantly. However, the effectiveness may differ based on your AC system. If you’re unsure about reducing your energy bills, consulting a professional is advisable.
