Air conditioning installation: choosing the right air conditioner for your space

Matt Mouritz · Director

Summers in Perth can truly be a challenge to live through, especially without air conditioning to cool the space down. The sweltering heat permeates even indoor spaces making for uncomfortable and sweaty living conditions. If you’re tired of living through the heat, consider investing in an air conditioning system to create a cool and comfortable environment to work and live in. For homeowners, the home should be a space of comfort and relaxation whereas business owners should create a comfortable work environment for their employees to boost productivity. Here are a few things to consider when deciding on air conditioning installation.

Size of space, windows and ventilation

The size of the space in question greatly affects the air conditioning unit’s ability to cool the room efficiently, not to mention keep it at a consistent comfortable temperature. Most residences would only need a unit or vent in every room but a larger commercial space would need more to effectively cool the area. Moreover, factors like ceiling height and irregular shaped rooms can influence the amount of power the air conditioning unit needs to be to cool the space optimally. In addition to the size of the space, the number of windows, ventilation and orientation to the sun also have a hand in choosing the right air conditioning system. If your space has several large windows that face the sunset or sunrise, it is likely to require an air conditioner with a higher kilowatt requirement as the general temperature of the room will be much higher.

Type of air conditioner

When it comes to air conditioning systems, we are spoiled for choice with various solutions to suit any property. Large spaces with multiple rooms might be better suited to a ducted system with zoning capabilities to allow for full control over which rooms require cooling. This includes people who are looking to install a system that is able to cool their entire home and sizeable commercial spaces. Ductless systems  Reverse cycle systems are easily the most popular for their ease of installation and reliable operation. Evaporative air cooling systems are slightly more complicated to install and are dependent on the existing weather and humidity levels but they are also the most cost efficient in the long run.
