What size air conditioner do you need?

The size of your home or space

    • A small room of 20 sqm and less: 2 to 2.5kw
    • A medium-sized room of about 20-40sqm: 2.5-5kw
    • A large room of 40-60sqm: 4-6kw

Please read our guide to air conditioner sizes

Who can install the split system?

The split system installation must be performed by a licensed technician.

According to the Australian Refrigeration Council (ARC), all installers and technicians are required to hold either a full Refrigeration & Air Conditioning license or a restricted license that lets them only install split system air conditioners.

This means you can get the installation done by a plumber, electrician, or specialist air con installer, as long as they are licensed to handle refrigerants.

At Total Electrics & Air-Conditioning, we specialize in assessing our clients’ individual needs to determine the best quality cooling systems for residential and commercial properties in the Eastern and South-Eastern suburbs of Air Conditioning Melbourne. Whether you are looking to purchase a split system, a ducted air-conditioning system, or anything in between, Total Electrics & Air-Conditioning should be your first point of call, for high-quality air conditioning installation Melbourne residents can trust.

 Can I install or service my system myself?

No. Attempting the installation or maintenance of cooling systems without the proper qualifications and experience is not safe for you or your home.

Cooling systems require installation by a licensed and qualified professional. To maintain our prestigious reputation, Total Electrics & Air-Conditioning employs highly trained licensed professionals to install and service cooling systems in accordance with industry regulations and best practices.  Incorrectly installing or servicing your Air Conditioning Melbourne could void the warranty.

You may be asking yourself, “How much do people spend to purchase and install an air conditioner?”  Installation costs vary widely, from under $1000 to upwards of $5000. The big difference in cost is due to factors that can impact the installation, such as your home’s accessibility, cable requirements, and electrical infrastructure. The price of supply and installation is also affected by the size of the air conditioner, like the kilowatt capacity; a rough estimate being $1800 – $2,500 for a 2.5kw inverter system in comparison to $2,500-$3,500 for a 5-7.1kw system. The cost is also dependent on where the air-conditioner is being installed.

 What is the best air conditioning wattage for me?

Residential air conditioner

Residential properties require lower wattage air-conditioning systems than commercial properties due to the decreased space and smaller rooms. As a guide, a small bedroom in a home should use 0-4kw, a medium room should use 4-7.1kw, and a larger space, such as a lounge room, should use 7.1-10kw.

Commercial air conditioner

Commercial spaces require a higher wattage due to their larger size. Though a higher wattage will result in higher consumption of power and increased maintenance costs, it is necessary to circulate and ventilate air-conditioning in larger spaces.
