What size air conditioner do I need?
The size of the air conditioner you need depends on the size of the room or area you want to cool.
If your room is too large for a small air conditioner, it will not be able to cool the room adequately. Conversely, if you install a large air conditioner in a small room, it will cycle off and on more frequently, which could lead to decreased efficiency and increased energy costs.
For small sized rooms split system air conditioners are very handy. They come in a variety of sizes, so be sure to choose one that is the right size for your room. A split system air conditioner is good for a room up to 60 square metres, while a large split system air conditioner is good for a room up to 120 square metres.
Does the location of the air conditioner impact the room's temperature?
The location of the air conditioner in the room does affect the impact on the room’s temperature. The position of the interior unit should be on an exterior wall is possible, with not too much of a distance to the outdoor unit. It should be in a position where there is adequate clearance on all side of the unit, and as close to the middle of the space as possible. If you put the air conditioner in a corner, it won’t allow for easy circulation of the air flow.
Does the location of the air conditioner affect the installation and replacement?
The location of the air conditioner does not affect the installation or replacement. You can put the Internal split system air conditioner unit in any location of the room if there is an electrical access and easy access to the outdoor unit.
Why does my air conditioner need servicing?

How I calculate the best size of the air conditioner for a room?
There are a few factors you need to consider when calculating the best size of air conditioner for your room. The most important factor is the size of the room itself. You want to choose an air conditioner that is the right size for the room, so it can cool it adequately.
Another factor to consider is the climate where you live. If you live in a hot climate, you will need an air conditioner that can cool a larger space than if you live in a cooler climate.
You also need to think about the type of air conditioner you want. Split system air conditioners are wall-mounted with an exterior unit, and ducted air conditioning systems are designed to cool an entire house.
Is it better to have a smaller or larger air conditioner if unable to get the right size?
It is usually better to have a larger air conditioner if you are unable to get the right size. A smaller air conditioner may not be able to cool your room adequately, and it may end up running more often, which will increase your energy costs.
What happens if the air conditioner is too big
If the air conditioner is too big, it will cycle on and off more frequently with shorter cycles, which can lead to decreased efficiency and increased energy costs. Short cycles can also lead to premature failure of the unit.
When it is too big, the cycles will not be long enough to remove the humidity from the air resulting in a humid environment. A cycle of 20 – 30 minutes is required to efficiently dehumidify the air.
