Air conditioning installation

Your checklist for air conditioning installation

Matt Mouritz · Director

Air conditioning installation is a big step towards your home comfort, but can be a big financial step too. As summer closes in, the old and inefficient air conditioning systems across Perth are being replaced with newer, more powerful and energy efficient systems. How can you be sure that you’re making the right decisions for your home air conditioning installation? Here are our major points of consideration, as you start sourcing solutions for your home climate control.

  • Placement
    The placement of your air conditioning condenser will have a huge effect on its shelf life. Bright, direct sunlight could lead to failure due to overheating, and this can be an expensive issue to fix, and any potential for blockages should be checked for and removed.
  • Size
    Consider the scope of your heating and cooling; factors such as the overall size of your home, insulation and sunlight are all important to consider. These will help you to decide which air conditioning unit is best for your home, and the necessary size to maintain temperature easily. Trained technicians will be able to assess your home and inform you what size would suit,
  • Cost
    Air conditioning is an investment, but this comes with a price tag. However, the use and efficiency of the unit outweigh any costs as a cheap air conditioning alternative may end up stinging your back pocket more over time, and a technician’s advice is extremely valuable to avoid future problems. Talk to your installation specialists about the costs involved, to avoid any nasty surprises at the end.
  • Super-Size-Me Options
    So you’ve got your new unit, and now you have the options for some add-ons. Features like the addition of a heat pump can add value to your home air conditioning, as you prepare for the chilly Perth winters waiting ahead.

Choose the best next step for your home

Ducted reverse cycle

Ducted reverse cycle air conditioning heats and cools your whole home from one system, so you don’t need separate heating and cooling. Zone control sends air only to the rooms you’re using. We work out how many zones you need from the size and layout of your home and how you use it.

Ducted evaporative

A ducted evaporative system from Mouritz cools your home with fresh outside air, and its main advantage is low running costs. It’s cooling only, and works best with a few windows or doors open so the cooled air can flow through the house.

Split systems

A split system heats and cools a room or area, so it suits homes that don’t need whole-home air conditioning. Each one has an outdoor unit and an indoor wall-mounted unit. Split systems work for one room or several, and keep purchase, installation and running costs low.

Solar

A solar power system from Mouritz gives you more control over your energy use and helps reduce your power bills. We design and install panels around your home and energy needs, and battery storage lets you use stored power when you need it. Buying air conditioning too? We offer extra discounts when you buy both together.

Ducted gas heating

Ducted gas heating from Mouritz warms your whole home through ducts and vents, with zoning so you only heat the rooms you need, which can help reduce your energy bills. Installation can be more involved than other heating systems, but you get even, efficient warmth throughout the house.

Service & repairs

Regular servicing keeps your air conditioning running efficiently, which saves on energy costs. Our experienced service team responds promptly to breakdowns and maintenance issues. We recommend servicing most systems once a year.
