There are many ways to deal with Australia’s extreme summer temperatures, ranging from different types of fans, to evaporative coolers, but the most effective method is to install a refrigerative air conditioning unit. These also come in a variety of different types. Choosing the right air conditioner for your home is essential. Not every air conditioning unit is suitable for every living space. Various factors, such the size of your home and air conditioning prices, have to be taken into account

Australia’s extreme summer temperatures,
ranging from different types of fans, to
evaporative coolers, but the most effective
method is to install a refrigerative air
conditioning unit.

3.  These also come in a variety of different types. Choosing
the right air conditioner for your home is essential.
 Various factors, such the size of your home and air
conditioning prices, have to be taken into account.

4.  The first thing you will want to do is
to talk to an electrician about the
installation. You will need to find out
the best type of air conditioner for
your living space, how much will it
cost to install the unit, and how
much will it cost to run and maintain
it.

5.  Air conditioning installation can be simple and
affordable, or it can involve major effort and
expense. Also, depending on the size of your
home and how often you use the unit, your
electricity bill can be dramatically affected or
the changes may not be noticeable.

6.  Refrigerative units work using a refrigerant (usually
Freon) that transfers the heat to the outdoors via hot and
cool coils.

7.  These units are “split” in the sense that there are
two sections, one outside the home, and one
indoors.
www.air-

8.  The two are connected by pipes filled with refrigerant.
These pipes are the conduit by which the heat inside your
home gets taken out, thus providing a cooling effect. These
can cool multiple rooms and are available with reverse
cycle capability as well. Reverse cycle means that they can
transfer heat indoors during the winter and thus provide
home-heating as well as cooling.

9. There will be a compressor located
outdoors and a unit installed in the ceiling.
The ducts will carry cooled air to different
parts of the house. One of the benefits of a
central air conditioner is that different areas
of the home can be cooled to different
temperatures.

10.  These require no installation and may be
moved around a home like a portable fan,
to provide cooling as needed. They may
be placed in a window or door so as to
transfer heat within a room to the outside
via coils located inside the appliance.

11.  This is a well-known, old-fashioned type of air
conditioner. Fixed air conditioners will typically require a
specially-made hole in a wall or a window in order to
operate.
www.air-

12.  The size of the air conditioning unit is another important
factor in your choice. Units that are oversized or
undersized for your living space will be both expensive
and ineffective in the long run.
www.air-

13.  An oversized unit will cool your home very quickly,
but when it gets to the desired temperature, it will
stop working. It will then start up again the second
the home starts to warm up. The result is that your
air conditioner will be constantly starting up and
shutting off, using more electricity and eventually
wearing the unit out.
www.air-

14.  An undersized unit will have to work very hard
to cool a large living space and will run in very
long cycles, also causing it to use more
electricity than necessary and to wear out
before its time.
