“What type?”
That’s often the first question that crosses a person’s mind when considering a new air conditioning system for their home or business.
In many cases, deciding which system to install is a question of costs versus benefits. In others, it’s a matter of choosing a system designed to fulfil your needs. In either case, you don’t pay for the wrong system!
So if you’re looking to install an air conditioning system for your home, office, or other type of commercial setting, but aren’t sure where to start, let Tri-Tech’s team help you understand the benefits of a variety of systems and which one is most suitable for your specific needs.
Choosing the right system isn’t always straightforward, but the team at Tri-Tech takes the time to assess your space, how it’s used, and what you actually need from your air conditioning. From there, we guide you towards a system that will perform properly day to day based on details like:
Matching system size to your space for balanced, consistent performance.
Capacity that handles demand without overworking the system.
Systems that keep long-term running costs manageable.
Factoring in Brisbane conditions and how well your space retains air.
We recommend system types that suit your layout and daily use.
Planning installation carefully to guarantee reliable performance, always.
Tri-Tech offers interest-free payment plans that allow you to install the system you need now while spreading the cost over manageable repayments. Learn more about our available finance options and see how simple it can be to upgrade your home or business cooling system.
Here is a simple two-step formula you can use:
For example, if your room is 6m by 5m:
*It’s also useful for us to know which direction the rooms face. Southerly facing rooms require less cooling in summer but more heating in winter. If the room is facing west, or if it faces north and has large windows, use a factor of 180 watts for your calculation. In our example above, a westerly facing room would need a 5.4Kw system.
A multi-split system is used when a home air conditioning unit is required in more than one room (a bedroom, a study and a family room, for instance), can be used for an entire house with up to 6 indoor units; if that’s your requirement, you need a ducted system.
Multi-split systems are often viable in small commercial applications as well. Ceiling or floor console and ceiling cassette models are also suitable for some domestic and small office environments.
Inverter air conditioners are more economical to operate and quieter to run than conventional units. They can handle wider extremes in temperature, are smoother and more stable in operation and reach the desired temperature more quickly than conventional air conditioners.
In order to maintain optimal performance, your split system should be serviced annually. While this may seem excessive, split systems need to be checked for blockages and cleanliness to reduce the likelihood of breakdown or transfer of bacteria.
