Air conditioning is big business here in Australia, where we enjoy a sub-tropical and tropical climate in the northern part of the country. As you would expect, there are quite a few different types of residential air-conditioning, which we highlight in this short article.
Wall-Mounted Air-Conditioner
The indoor unit is attached to a wall close to the ceiling, which is then connected to the exterior compressor via pipes that go through the wall. The most popular brand here in Australia is the Mitsubishi air conditioner, which has been one of the top brands for several decades. These are units that are used for a single room, with a separate compressor fitted externally.
Ducted Air-Conditioners
This involves cool air travelling through concealed ducts in the walls into all the rooms of the house. This system is ideal for larger properties, and a single compressor unit is used to send the cool air around the house. The ducting connects to grills on the floor or ceiling, and the system is concealed, which is an attractive proposition.
Ceiling Cassette Air-Conditioners
Slimline units are fitted to the ceiling, which is popular in offices and small bedrooms. Some homes have limited space, and slimline ceiling units are preferred. These are more popular in Europe, mainly because homes have limited space and the units are economical.
Bulkhead Air-Conditioners
Installed in concealed bulkheads on the ceiling, these units are ideal for small homes where you want to conceal the system. Click here to find out why regular home improvements boost the value of a home. These are quite rare here in Australia, although they were popular back in the 1960s.
Floor Console Air-Conditioners
These are typically found in colder countries where heating is required, as well as air-conditioning. Floor level is ideal for heating, as hot air rises and the temperature rises quickly.
Split System Air-Conditioners
A single compressor runs multiple interior units that feed multiple rooms. A large capacity compressor can feed several interior units, which is an economical way to cool the house. These systems are typically used in small apartment buildings, due to the fact that a single compressor can feed numerous rooms.
If you are looking for the best climate control system in Australia, connect with a leading supplier and let them make recommendations from the above list. The latest generation of HVAC climate control systems is perfect, as they provide heating and cooling while also being very energy efficient.
If you are building a new house, once the work is completed, invite an air-conditioning expert to take a look, and they can design a system around the building.
When a leading climate control specialist installs a system in your home, you have a long warranty, and hopefully, you will enjoy many years of trouble-free use.
Make sure you service the system regularly, and everything should be fine.
