Which Type of Air Conditioning Unit is Best for the North Shore?
We provide the best air conditioning services across the the upper and lower North Shore area, but each client requires different needs. After all, the perfect air conditioning unit is not the same across the entire area, or even building-to-building.
The right kind of air conditioning unit for you depends on several factors, which you can understand by making the following considerations:
Average Climate in The Hills
The North Shore boasts very warm and wet summers, with the humidity being high enough that an evaporative cooling system or a ducted air conditioning system that offers a greater range of control may offer the best solution. The mild winters are fairly short, with June and July being the only months being considered ‘cool’.
Size or Area You Need to Cool
The size of your residential or commercial space heavily affects the kind of air conditioning unit you will need, as certain systems are better suited to bigger areas.
Construction and Design of Your Home or Office
The North Shore is close to the coast, with plenty of building designs taking advantage of the sea breeze and early sunrises. These design choices, along with elements like insulation, can also determine what type of air conditioning systems you will require.
Energy Efficiency of Your Air Conditioner
For those invested in reducing their energy bills, it is best to check the energy efficiency rating on any potential air conditioner. This rating will help inform you on what choice is best, or you can follow our cost-saving tips to temperature control.
Noise Emitted from the AC Unit
If you are concerned about the noise levels that your air conditioner may produce, look for its sounds power rating (dBA).
Indoor Air Quality Management
Some air conditioners include air quality improvement features, which is particularly beneficial for those with allergies. Keep an eye out for features like humidifiers, UV air filtration, ionisers, as well as antioxidant or antiviral filters.
Reliability of Your Air Conditioner
It may be a costly investment to purchase a brand new air conditioning system, but it is better to look at the higher prices rather than something cheaper and more likely to break. Always look to a well-established brand like Fujitsu, Mitsubishi or Actron Air, as their long-term warranties ensure you and your new system will be taken care of.
