FAQ
How long does it take to install an air conditioning system?
The time required to install an air conditioning system depends on the type of unit, the complexity of the job, and the condition of the site. A basic wall-mounted split system in a residential home can often be installed within 2–4 hours. Ducted systems, multi-split setups, or large commercial installations may take one or more days and could involve additional work like installing ductwork, upgrading electrical circuits, or modifying ceilings and walls. Factors such as roof access, wall material, and existing infrastructure can all impact installation time. A licensed technician can provide a clearer timeframe after a site inspection.
What size air conditioner do I need for my home or office?
The ideal air conditioner size depends on the size and layout of the space, ceiling height, insulation, window placement, and local climate. A general rule of thumb is to allow around 1 to 1.5 kilowatts (kW) of cooling capacity per 10 square metres, but this varies based on room use and sun exposure. Undersized units may struggle to cool the space efficiently, while oversized units can cycle on and off too quickly, reducing lifespan and increasing power usage. A professional load assessment is the best way to determine the correct size and ensure optimal comfort and energy efficiency.
What should I consider before installing air conditioning?
Before installing an air conditioning system, it's important to consider the size of the area you want to cool, how often the system will be used, your budget, energy efficiency goals, and the type of system that best suits your needs (e.g., split system, ducted, multi-head, or VRV/VRF). You should also assess the layout of your property, electrical system capacity, roof or wall access, and whether zoning or smart controls are important for your lifestyle. Consulting with a licensed technician ensures you choose a system that’s properly sized, positioned for optimal airflow, and compliant with safety and efficiency standards.
