Air conditioning is an investment, so it’s critical you select the right unit for your needs. Consider its size–you need an air conditioner that can provide sufficient cooling (or heating) power for the space you’re trying to cool or heat. Other important factors include:

Installation considerations: Factor in the size of the unit, its weight, and where it will be installed. Our electricians can help you determine the most efficient location for your A/C.

Energy efficiency: Look for energy-efficiency ratings (EERs) that are as high as possible to ensure the most efficient operation. You want an A/C that will provide effective cooling while conserving energy.

Noise levels: Different air conditioners make different amounts of noise. If you’re looking for a quieter unit, be sure to ask about the decibel (dB) rating of the model you’re considering.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between ducted and split system air conditioning?

Ducted air conditioners are often the preferred choice for larger homes. They provide zoned temperature control to different areas of the home, all from one central unit. This allows you to have a consistent climate throughout your entire house while having individual zones that can be controlled separately if desired.

Split system air conditioners are usually best suited for small to medium sized homes, as they are generally more cost-effective and easier to install. They consist of two components: an outdoor unit which is connected to the indoor unit by refrigeration lines. Split system air conditioners are able to cool or heat one area at a time, while providing flexibility for those who want to be able to control different areas of their home separately.
What are the signs that my air conditioner needs servicing?
There are a few tell-tale signs that your air conditioner needs to be serviced. If you notice any of the following, it's time to contact an experienced electrician in Tamworth for assistance:
- Reduced or weak airflow
- An increase in noise coming from the units when it is running
- A musty smell
- Strange noises or vibrations
- The temperature of the room does not match what is set on the thermostat
- Your energy bills have increased significantly
What are the benefits of ducted air conditioning?

Ducted air conditioners use fewer energy sources than other systems to cool the entire home. The ducts help circulate cooled air throughout your building, ensuring maximum comfort and efficiency. They’re also relatively quiet.
What are the benefits of split system air conditioning?

Split system air conditioners are cheap upfront and come in a variety of sizes and styles, so you can easily find a unit that fits your space. They also allow you to keep different temperature settings in different rooms. Plus, split systems are easy to maintain.
