Air Conditioning Installation Sydney
If you’ve lived in Sydney for any considerable amount of time, you’ll know how important it is to have an efficient and effective air conditioning system to get you through those blistering hot summer days and in those cold short winter days.
If you’re looking to install a new air conditioning unit, keep reading because in this page we will cover everything you need to know about air conditioning Installations in Sydney.
Split System vs Ducted
Air Conditioning Installation
There are two main types of air conditioning systems that we install in Sydney – split system air conditioning systems and ducted air conditioning systems. Let’s explore the pros and cons of each.
Split System Air Conditioning Installation
A split system consists of two main units – the internal unit, which disperses the required air temperature throughout the house, while the external unit draws air from the outside and adjusts the temperature of the air.
Pros – Split System Air Conditioning System
Split systems are generally cheaper to install, depending on certain factors such as size, type of unit, brand, size of room and various other factors.
They can also be installed on a room by room basis, so if you needed to spread the cost over a period of time, you could potentially install one unit at a time.
Cons – Split System Air Conditioning System
While split systems can be very effective for small and single rooms, they may struggle to cool down beyond a small enclosed space. This means you will likely need additional units for each separate room.
They are also installed on your walls, which may not be extremely visually appealing.
Split systems will generally last between 5 to 10 years before needing to be replaced. Regular maintenance and servicing will help extend the lifetime of the unit while lack of care and maintenance will shorten it.
Ducted Air Conditioning Installation
Ducted air conditioning in a nutshell is an air conditioning system that works through a series of vents that are usually situated just below the roof of your house, that connects a series of vents with a centralised cooling unit. Just like the split system air conditioning, it requires an outdoor unit to be placed outside of your home.
Pros – Ducted Air Conditioning System
Instead of having extruding units on the walls of your home, the air flows through a series of ducts into various rooms inside of your home. They are generally more quiet, and they fit discreetly because the outlets are relatively flat and small and installed in the ceilings.
Since the vents are connected to a centralised cooling system, it generally allows for a more consistent and even temperature throughout your entire home.
They also tend to last longer, on average between 10 to 15 years, once again depending on the level of maintenance and servicing provided for the system.
Cons – Ducted Air Conditioning System
Ducted air conditioning installation requires more time, more costs, and generally requires a specialist to do the job. These tend to have a large upfront cost, and depending on the size of the house.
It’s also important to consider that not all homes are suitable for the installation of a ducted air conditioning unit. Some homes do not have enough space in the roof or may have difficulty setting up the ducts downstairs.
Air Conditioner Size
One of the first steps in determining the type of air conditioner you need is to measure the size of the room that you want cooled.
| Size Of Room | Capacity |
| Small Rooms (< 20 m 2) | 2kW to 4kW |
| Medium Rooms (20 – 40 m 2) | 4kW to 6kW |
| Large Rooms (> 40 m 2) | 6kW to 9kW |
Models that are too powerful may run frequent but short cycles to achieve the desired temperature. This may cause temperature inconsistencies, excessive power consumption, and wear and tear.
Models that are underpowered may constantly run on maximum output, also causing excessive power consumption and wear and tear.
When selecting the right model for your room, it is better to get a model slightly above the required capacity rather than below it.
Air Conditioning Installation Cost
The factors which influence the cost of installing an air conditioning unit include:
- Split system vs ducted
- Brand & model
- Size of your home
- Number of units/ducts
There are two costs associated with the installation – the cost of the actual unit itself and the installation costs.
