When it comes to staying comfortable year-round, choosing the right air conditioner is key. At AA Plus Energy, we’re here to help you make informed decisions so you can enjoy efficient, cost-effective, and climate-smart cooling and heating.
Here’s everything you need to know before you buy:
1. Types of Air Conditioners
Understanding the right system for your space is the first step.
-
Split Systems
Ideal for cooling or heating single rooms or open-plan areas. Easy to install, energy efficient, and cost-effective for smaller homes. -
Multi-Split Systems
One outdoor unit powers multiple indoor units—perfect for homes with several rooms needing individual temperature control. -
Ducted Systems
Great for whole-home comfort. Controlled via a central thermostat and often more discreet in design. Perfect for new builds or larger homes. -
Portable Air Conditioners
Best suited for renters or small spaces. No installation needed, but generally less efficient.
2. Key Features to Look For
-
Reverse Cycle
Enjoy both cooling and heating in one unit—perfect for year-round comfort. -
Inverter Technology
Offers quieter operation and better energy efficiency by adjusting the compressor speed. -
Smart Controls
Control your AC via mobile apps, voice assistants, or programmable timers—perfect for tech-savvy households. -
Energy Efficiency Rating (EER/Star Rating)
Look for high-star-rated models to reduce long-term energy bills and environmental impact.
3. How to Choose the Right Size
A unit too small will overwork and underperform. Too big, and you’ll waste energy and money.
Consider:
-
Room Size & Layout
-
Ceiling Height
-
Insulation Quality
-
Number of Windows
💡 Pro Tip: Let AA Plus Energy perform a professional assessment to recommend the best size for your needs.
