Aircon Installer in the Northern Rivers

Split systems are ideal for cooling single rooms or smaller areas. They consist of an indoor and outdoor unit and are generally quicker and more affordable to install. Ducted systems, on the other hand, are integrated into the ceiling or walls and can cool or heat an entire home via vents in each room. While ducted systems have a higher upfront cost, they offer superior climate control and aesthetics, with everything hidden from view.

In most cases, you don’t need council approval for standard residential air conditioning installations, especially if they’re not visible from the street or don’t affect the building structure. However, heritage-listed properties or units in strata-managed buildings may require special permissions. It's always a good idea to check with your local council or strata management to avoid issues later on.

Choosing the right size depends on your room dimensions, insulation, number of windows, ceiling height, and overall house layout. An undersized unit will struggle to cool efficiently, while an oversized one may cycle on and off too frequently, increasing wear and tear. Professional installers can calculate the cooling load of your space and recommend a system that provides optimal comfort and efficiency.
