  1. AIR-RITE Choosing the Best Air Conditioner for Your Home

  2. 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.

  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 Right Refrigerative Air Conditioner • 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. Split Systems • These units are “split” in the sense that there are two sections, one outside the home, and one indoors.

  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. Portable Air Conditioners • 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. Fixed Air Conditioners • 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.

  12. Air Conditioner Size • 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.

  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.

  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.
