How to Choose the Right Size Split Air Conditioning Unit

Enjoy Optimal Indoor Comfort

Adelaide residents are increasingly turning to advanced split system air conditioning units that offer superior reliability and efficiency. These systems are expected to provide a comfortable indoor environment at the touch of a button.

Selecting the Proper Size Reduces Energy Consumption

- Consider Room Volume, Not Just Floor Space: Measure the length, width, and height of your room. High ceilings mean a larger volume, requiring more energy to heat or cool. Avoid the common mistake of choosing a smaller unit to save on initial costs or a larger unit to ensure cooling; both can lead to inefficiencies and higher costs.

- Insulation is Key: The presence of roof and wall insulation greatly impacts the required capacity of your air conditioner. Good insulation helps maintain the desired temperature with less energy, potentially allowing you to choose a smaller, more efficient unit.

- Other Factors: The orientation of the room, the number of windows and their exposure to sunlight, and overall room position also influence the required cooling capacity.

Climate Zone Considerations

The city you live in affects the size of the split air conditioner you need. Here's a guideline for a 15 square meter room:
