Home Air Conditioning

Heating and cooling your house is an important aspect of your home life. Many things need to be considered when choosing a suitable air conditionin unit, including the area of the home you are trying to heat or cool, the type of system to be installed, the installation process and of course your budget.

The Budget

As with all items you purchase, your budget will be a major factor in what you buy. It is always important to look at all alternatives and to buy a system that will do what you want it to do while still keeping within your budget.

The purchase and installation of a heating and cooling system for your home is quite a big undertaking and becomes a permanent fitting that will be used all the time. Budget is important but the purchasing of a system that will actually do what you want it to is a far more important aspect. It is useless buying and installing a system that is cheaper if it doesn't do what you need it to.

Platinum Air understand budget constraints but we also know what systems will work for the conditions. We will only ever advise the purchase of a unit that will do the job it is designed for. Our advice is based on many years of experience. Pricing will vary depending on the type of system required, brand name as well as the features each have. We will sit down with you and discuss all options and let you decide which you would like.

The System Recommended

The type of air conditioning system we will recommend will depend on many variables. These include:

• whether it will need to heat as well as cool
• the amount of heat the occupants and appliances in your home generate
• the amount of shade that is on your home's windows, walls, and roof
• the amount of insulation in your home
• the size of your home and the amount of windows
• the amount of air leaking into your home from the outside
• the access we have for the installation

Air Conditioning Types

Room Air Conditioners:
Used to provide cooling only where needed. They cool individual rooms as opposed to the entire house. They are generally cheaper than central air systems but their efficiency is typically lower. Benefits are obviously the price and that they are portable and can be moved to different rooms.

Split-System Air Conditioners:
Split system air conditioners are units used in homes where extending or installing distribution ductwork is not feasible. Split systems are ductless with the main refrigeration unit positioned outside the house with the fan unit mounted internally on a wall.

Ducted Central Air Conditioners:
Used to cool and heat an entire home. Ducts are installed in ceilings and sometimes floors with the main air conditioning unit installed outside the home.

The Installation

The installation of your system is just as important. Air Conditioning units require to be installed as per manufacturers specifications as well as Australian Safety Standards. Units that are not installed correctly can be very inefficient and in some cases dangerous. Our fully trained and insured staff are conversant with all the safety standards and rules for all types of installations to ensure your unit works as per manufacturers requirements and follows Australian Safety Standards.
