YOUR OPTIONS...
Split Systems have come a long way over the years and are now exceptionally efficient on power due to the benefits of inverter technology. These units are almost silent when running, host a high star energy rating and the sleek design make them an impressive feature in any room. Wi-fi technology now allows us the convenience to control our comfort from our phone. R32 refrigerant means units are now emitting 1/3 of that of the older split system models meaning we are causing less harm to our environment.
SPLIT
SYSTEM
BOX UNIT (RAC)
The benefits of selecting a box unit air conditioner or 'room air conditioner (RAC)' is the convenience of being able to place these in a window of your home or alternatively in a wall without taking up a lot of wall space inside or out. Ideal for rental premises where you are able to take the unit with you when you leave if placed in a window. This is generally the cheapest option for air conditioning however not always the most power efficient option.
CASSETTE
A cassette system is ideal for those homes that just don't have the wall space for a split system indoor unit or RAC. The indoor unit is placed on your ceiling (650mm x 650mm). These units are just as energy efficient & quiet at a split system.
Why Ducted?
If you have multiple rooms or large open spaces to keep cool or warm, installing a ducted air conditioning system can have many benefits. Rather than just heating a single room with a wall-mounted split system, a ducted system has the benefit of being hidden in the roof space with ductwork going to each room, which allows you to heat multiple areas in your home at once.
A ducted system can save on installation space outside by using a single outdoor unit, reducing the area required compared to installing multiple split systems. And inside, a ducted unit is discreet and out of the way, as the ductwork runs through the roof space to each room and does not use valuable wall or floor space, which also makes it a very quiet and unobtrusive form of heating & cooling.
One of the hesitations of installing a ducted system can be the perceived running costs to heat & cool the entire home. But when comparing it to conventional gas or portable electric heaters & portable air conditioners, reverse cycle air conditioning is the most energy-efficient form of heating & cooling.
Increasingly popular is the ducted air conditioning system which allows the user to control the temperature of every room from a single control panel. With a subtle vent in each room, ducted is a discreet option to air condition your entire home. With the inclusion of our MyAir smart home control system your ducted air conditioning system can now integrate with your controller allowing you full access to your settings from your phone.
DUCTED
Energy usage can vary from home to home, so to properly gauge running costs for your home, visit energyrating.gov.au, where you’ll be able to find out energy consumption and running costs: https://www.energyrating.gov.au/calculator
To help reduce the energy consumption of your heating & cooling, try using the tips below:
-
Select an air conditioner with a lower power input value. Check the Energy Rating label for details or the website: http://www.energyrating.gov.au/
-
For heating, set the room temperature 2 degrees lower. Each one degree set lower will save energy.
-
Close the windows and curtains.
-
Consider installing roof insulation.
-
Use external shutters or blinds.
-
Zone control for ducted systems allows you to only heat or cool the rooms you need to.
-
Use Wi-Fi control options. By connecting your air conditioner to your smartphone or tablet, you will have ‘on the go’ control to check and make sure you haven’t accidentally left it running.
-
Give us a call and we can give you a “heat load calculation”, which is the specific kW capacity of heating & cooling you need and the appropriate air conditioner to do the job.
– Air conditioners that don’t have enough kW heating or cooling capacity will run flat out and use a lot of power and potentially not heat or cool the space properly.
– Air conditioners that are too big will cycle off too soon and not run at peak efficiency and be an expense that isn’t necessary.
