Choosing the Right Air Conditioner Size

Proper sizing is crucial for efficiency, comfort, and longevity. Our qualified technicians ensure your system is perfectly matched to your home's requirements.

Why Proper Sizing Matters

Selecting the correct air conditioner size is crucial for efficiency, comfort, and longevity. An undersized unit will struggle to cool your space and run constantly, while an oversized unit will cycle on and off frequently, wasting energy and failing to properly dehumidify.

Undersized System Problems:

  • • Struggles to reach desired temperature
  • • Runs constantly, increasing energy bills
  • • Premature wear and component failure
  • • Poor humidity control

Oversized System Problems:

  • • Short cycling reduces efficiency
  • • Inadequate dehumidification
  • • Uneven temperature distribution
  • • Higher upfront and operating costs

Room Size Guide

Small room (20m²) 2.5kW
Medium room (40m²) 5.0kW
Large room (60m²) 7.5kW
Open plan (80m²) 10kW
