PREPARE BEFORE CHOOSING EQUIPMENT

Home air conditioning planning guides

Start with the question you need to answer. These independent guides help you describe your rooms, compare a proposal and identify what still needs professional assessment.

Understand your costs

Installed price and electricity use answer different questions. First compare the equipment and complete installation scope. Then ask what assumptions underpin any running-cost illustration. Neither a headline equipment price nor a cooling-capacity rating predicts your bill.

Read the cost guide for quotation inclusions and the running-cost guide for a transparent calculation. Use the illustration tool only with understood assumptions; it is not an instant price for a system.

Plan rooms and equipment

Begin with the rooms and when they are occupied. The bedroom, garden-room and multi-room pages explain the questions specific to those uses. The comparison guide then helps you ask about separate systems versus a multi-split without assuming a universal winner.

Prepare for a survey

The survey checklist gathers ordinary observations safely. The installation guide explains the stages and written scope to discuss with a separately appointed contractor. You do not need to identify refrigerant parts, inspect electrics or choose equipment yourself.

Check permissions and ownership responsibilities

An outdoor position needs more than a tidy appearance. Read the noise and placement guide alongside the planning basics, then use current authority advice where needed for the actual address. The guidance does not grant permission or certify a design.
