Residential Air Conditioning
Climacontrol can assist you in finding the perfect heating and cooling solution for your home. Whether your plans are already drawn up or you’re in the beginning stages, we can assist with finding a solution that fits your needs – and your budget.
Some of the types of air conditioning systems that we install are:
Ducted reverse cycle systems
One of the most common climate control systems for modern houses in Australia is ducted air conditioning. These systems can switch between heating and cooling and are cost-effective.
Ducted systems can be installed in multiple rooms or ‘zones’ in your home and turned on individually or all at once. They also help to filter out air contaminants such as dust, so are well suited for those with respiratory issues.
VRV reverse cycle systems
VRV systems are large capacity multi indoor unit reverse cycle air conditioners with multiple indoor unit options such as ducted, cassette and wall hung units in any combination to suit your individual needs. All indoor units run off the one outdoor unit, meaning you can keep running costs to a minimum.
Ceiling Cassettes
Commonly chosen for office buildings, ceiling cassettes are installed into the ceiling, meaning they easily blend into the room.
This option also allows for multiple independent units, similar to the VRV systems, so that you can control each room individually.
Wall split systems
Wall split systems are another common type of air conditioning unit that can heat or cool single rooms.
These ductless systems consist of a wall-mounted indoor unit connected to an outdoor compressor. These systems are commonly used because of their look, ease of install/removal and their quiet operation.
Benefits of Air Conditioner For Homeowners
1.Improved Indoor Air Quality
The quality of the air we breathe is incredibly important to our health, particularly for those that suffer from allergies or respiratory conditions. The filtration system of an AC unit works to remove pollutants from the air, vastly improving its quality and limiting the damaging effects of airborne particulates.
Take a hay fever sufferer for example. In the summer months when the pollen count is high, it’s impractical to have windows open – but with an AC system installed they can find relief from the heat, and relief from their symptoms.
2. Humidity Control
High humidity can lead to problems for both your property and the health of its inhabitants. When the water vapour content in the air continually exceeds a certain threshold, it encourages the growth of mould and causes rot. In worst case scenarios, this can lead to costly damages to the fabric of your building, as well as damaging your belongings.
In terms of health, damp and mould caused by high humidity can induce asthma attacks, cause allergic reactions, and introduce harmful bacteria into your home. There are also consequences of low humidity levels, such as skin irritation.
An air conditioning system is the most reliable way to control humidity in the home.
3. Boosted Productivity
Historically, this was one of the major benefits of air conditioning in the workplace, but with more and more people working from home, it’s now relevant to domestic users too.
A hot, stuffy environment with poor ventilation does little to encourage productivity. It makes it difficult to concentrate, and saps our energy. A constant supply of fresh air from outdoors, however, brings the oxygen we need to stay alert, so an AC system is a valuable addition to any home office space.
It’s not just of benefit to the adults in the household either. Fresh air and comfortable conditions will help the children focus on their homework, or study effectively for their exams.
4. Less Noise and Fewer Pests
Throwing open our windows in summer can have its advantages, like the sound of birdsong or the smell of freshly cut grass for example. Not so pleasant is traffic noise, and a constant influx of bugs.
It may seem like a minor inconvenience but it can actually prove a major disruption, particularly if you’re working from home. With an AC system installed, it’s one less issue to contend with.
5. Better Quality Sleep
Good quality sleep is incredibly important to our overall health. It gives the body time to relax and repair itself from the rigours of daily life, and allows our mind to process our experiences.
One of the biggest disturbances to sleep in the summer months of course is heat. Fans may bring some relief, but really all their doing is circulating warm, stale air and creating noise. The same goes for windows. If it’s stuffy outside, having them open is of little use.
An air conditioning system on the other hand works quietly in the background to create comfortable sleeping conditions that help your body get the rest it needs.
6. Increased Security
We’ve covered a lot of reasons why an AC system is preferable to having windows and doors open, but perhaps the most important of these is security, particularly at night.
With access to your property firmly closed off, you can relax knowing that your family and personal belongings are as safe as they can be.
7. A Source of Heat in Winter
It’s a benefit that may not have crossed your mind, but given that most modern air conditioners are actually air source heat pumps, it means they’re able to generate heat in the colder months.
Heat pumps are a low carbon alternative to traditional heating systems, as well as being more energy efficient, bringing cost savings and fewer carbon emissions.
