Living in Brisbane means you can go from the beach to a night out in the city any time you like, but that idyllic Queensland lifestyle comes with one non-negotiable – heat.
Whether it’s a hot and dry heat, or a humidity that makes you sweat through the back of your shirt, it’s crucial your A/C system is chosen to suit your needs and to keep you cool and comfortable on those hot, sticky summer days.
At Snap Air Conditioning we’ve been cooling Brisbane and the surrounding community for 15 years, so we know what it takes to choose the best air conditioning system for your home.
Looking to keep cool this summer? Here’s everything you need to know.
How many rooms do you want to cool?
If you’re after a unit to cool a single room, like a bedroom or living room, you could choose a split system air conditioner or a floor-standing air conditioner that has the advantage of being included as part of your Brisbane home’s decor.
If you’re looking to bring cool, refreshing air into multiple rooms of your Brisbane home, you may be better off going with a ducted air conditioning system that cools each room from a central point.
Do you want temperature control in each room of your house?
If individual room control is something you’re after, a multi-split system offers complete control from room to room. A multi-head air conditioning system uses one outdoor unit connected to up to 5 internal units that can be placed in any room of your choosing.
This way the living room can feel like the Antarctic and the bedrooms be mild. Win-win!
What size rooms are you looking to cool?
It’s easy to read about the technical specs of your preferred A/C system and think “this is the one” but it’s important you match the features of each air con system with the needs of your home. The capacity of your unit to effectively cool your home will come down to:The size of your rooms
The wrong capacity (typically measured in kilowatts)
Ceiling height and roof type
Insulation
What energy efficiency level are you looking for?
Always consider the energy efficiency of your A/C system.High-efficiency units can be more expensive upfront, but over time these pay for themselves through reduced power bills.
All air conditioners sold in Australia are ranked according to an energy star rating scheme, so you’ll never be in the dark. If you want to save energy, save money, and reduce emissions, taking the time to ask your A/C installation team about the energy efficient options they provide can make the world of difference.
