Set your budget is an important part
Buying any reverse cycle air conditioning Perth system set you budget for the system is a must. Because it will help rule out some types of air conditioning systems. When you budget cannot afford the type of system it is.
Different types of reverse cycle air conditioning
There are many different types of reverse cycle air conditioning Perth systems. They will suit many different budgets and application. Below is a basic description of the different types. Different brands would have different price points. Also with introduction on the R32 gas some brands are still running the old R410a which is less efficient. Therefore when purchasing consider these differences as they do affect the cost. Remember the old saying you get what you pay for.
Split system air conditioner
Split systems air conditioners are one of the most popular forms of refrigerated air conditioners. Because they are designed to heat or cool 1 room at a time. They maintain the temperature very effectively within a room. The main disadvantage of a split system type is it only heats or cools the room it is installed in. Therefore cool whole multiple units would be required. When it comes to maintenance more than one machine would need to be serviced.
The split system air conditioner is the cheapest capital cost of all the reverse cycle air conditioning systems, There are many quality brands on the market. The brands I recommend are Mitsubishi heavy, Panasonic, Daikin, Actron Air. They are in no particular order but after spending 35 years in the air conditioning Perth industry. You get to know the features and benefits of each brand. Split system air conditioners pricing varies.
Split system air conditioner pricing
As an example of a 2.5kw good quality brand name, you would expect to pay around $800.00 supply only. For a no name or lower quality brand the cost would be 150.00 less. Machine costs between supplier may vary. Where a lot of people get caught is installation costs. I would recommend buying from a specialist air conditioning Perth company. Because they do the job from start to finish. Buying from a big box retailer, sometimes they include standard back to back installation. The issue with a lot of the installations most do not most fit in back to back installation. You are then stuck with arguing with the retailer’s installers Because they will want to charge extras. I have heard of stories up to $400.00 in extra.
Ceiling Cassette – Reverse cycle air conditioning
Ceiling Cassette type installation this is a little like split system except unit is mounted in the ceiling once again it will only cool or heat one area. These types of systems are used in places like restaurants, lunch bars or retail shops in general and commercial offices. They can also be used in homes that do not have any space for running flexible ducting and have large open living areas. I have also seen then on holiday homes.
Ducted Reverse cycle air conditioning Perth
Ducted Reverse cycle air conditioning Perth systems are becoming very popular with all new home being built. Because the system offers a heating and cooling option for the whole of the home. The costs can vary depending on a number of factors e.g.
- Brand of unit
- Size of the unit
- Number of outlets
- Number of zones
- Time of year installed
- Fully installed or Diy option
When deciding on your reverse cycle air conditioning Perth system. I would work through the above decisions as they will affect the cost of your system. The most important choice, in my opinion, would be the brand of system. I mention 4 brands above I would put any of them in my own home. Also over the last 12 years I have installed many different models and sizes in my clients homes or businesses and would recomend any of them without hestitation. The sizing of your air conditioning unit should be done by a professional. Because choosing a unit too small for your area. It will never perform correctly and it will never achieve the desired temperature. A true professional with make allowances and use there experience from previous jobs.
In sumary
