The elevation and location of your house is also an important factor to consider. Australia is known for its variety of climates, from the warmest rural areas to the coldest mountain regions, and it’s important to get an air conditioner able to comfortably handle your environment.
Insulation is one of the most effective ways to improve the energy efficiency of your air conditioner within the home, creating a semi-sealed environment to maintain temperature. In some cases, you may be able to cool an insulated room using a smaller, less powerful air conditioner than an uninsulated room. When combined with the size of your room, insulation plays an important part in determining what size air conditioner you require.
The other major source of heat, or cold, in a particular room comes from the windows. Rooms with windows that play host to direct sunlight can experience heightened internal temperatures, while the chill has a way of winding its way through the glass, especially on winter mornings.
