Size & Power

One of the first considerations when deciding whether an air conditioner is for you is identifying what area you would like to cool down or heat up. Is it just one room? Or a 3 storey house? The following question you must consider is how often will you use an air conditioner?

Energy Efficiency

Air conditioners on the bigger side will become more costly to run, that’s why you must consider how often you plan on using an air conditioner for your space. However as the room sizes increase, so will your air conditioner kWs. For smaller rooms, a bigger air conditioner will use a lot more energy and therefore end up costing too much! That’s why you must consider the energy efficiency rating, most appropriate for your space. Central Coast Air Conditioning knows exactly what air conditioner will best suit your property.

Types Of Air Conditioners

Split System Air Conditioners

Split systems air conditioners compromise of two parts. One section is attached to the interior wall of your property, while the second part is located outside your property to exhaust hot air. Split systems are low costing and are efficient to install. They provide flexibility, as they offer individual systems for each room. Make sure you have an area in your home that is far away from any heating appliances, this is most likely where we would suggest to install your air conditioner. This way your air will be evenly distributed, while the external system must be installed in the shade, far away from tree leaves or an area that will be close to neighbours.

Reverse Cycle Split System

A reverse cycle split system is perfect for those who wish to use their air conditioner during the winter and summer months. A reverse cycle air conditioner is cheaper and simple to install in comparison to a ducted heating systems

Inverter systems

These air conditions are various with temperature distribution. Instead of starting and stopping they can control the temperature effectively while running. They are cost-effective and energy-efficient. They will create your perfect room temperature in minutes. However, they are more expensive to purchase.

Multi-system

These systems are connected to one outdoor system. The multiple systems indoors have less ductwork and only have one control station that controls the whole system. This means if you’re after an air conditioner that allows you to control individual room temperatures, this isn’t the air conditioner for you. This system allows you to only set one temperature throughout the whole house or room.

Portable systems

This is the perfect selection for a quick fix. They are flexible and are ready to use straight away just by plugging it in the wall! They have a reverse cycle mode which can either heat up or cool down your space. However they will only accommodate to a small room, so if you’re after cooling down or heating up an office space or multiple bedrooms, this would not be the most cost effective solution.
