Air Conditioning Solutions

The right size depends on your room dimensions, ceiling height, insulation, window size and orientation, and local climate. An undersized unit will struggle to cool the space, while an oversized unit will cycle on and off frequently, wasting energy. We provide free assessments to recommend the perfect size for your needs.

Running costs depend on the unit's energy rating, size, usage patterns, and your electricity rate. A typical 2.5kW split system costs around $0.25-0.40 per hour to run. Inverter models are more efficient and cost less than non-inverter units.

Split systems suit one room or a few key living areas and are the cheaper option to install. Ducted air conditioning is the better choice when you want consistent comfort through the whole home, and with zoning you only pay to cool the areas you are using. We will walk you through the trade-offs during your free assessment.

Inverter air conditioners adjust their compressor speed to maintain temperature, using only the energy needed. Non-inverter units run at full power then switch off completely, cycling repeatedly. Inverter models are quieter, more energy-efficient (up to 30% savings), and provide more consistent temperatures.

We recommend professional servicing at least once a year, ideally before summer. Regular servicing maintains efficiency, extends the unit's lifespan, ensures healthy air quality, and can prevent costly breakdowns. You should also clean or replace filters every 1-3 months depending on usage.

A standard back-to-back split system is usually installed in a few hours. Multi-head systems and ducted installations typically take one to two days depending on the size of the home and access to the roof space. We confirm the timeframe with you before we book the job in.
