“Start your search for an air conditioner by measuring the dimensions of the space you want to cool,” says Scott Bazley, The Good Guys Buyer – Seasonal. “You’ll need a unit that’s powerful enough to reach all corners of the room, while still delivering on energy efficiency for ongoing savings.”

It’s the little things that count when it comes to choosing the right air conditioner.

Take a look at our top five features to look out for when it comes to buying your reverse cycle split system air conditioner.

The best time to plan for new air conditioning? Before those steamy days (and muggy nights) arrive and you’re at risk of making a rushed decision in the heat of the moment. Whether you’re looking to install a split system or window wall system in a new home, a do-it-all reverse cycle system for year-round comfort, or you’re hot under the collar to upgrade to a feature-stacked smart model, it pays to research which type of air conditioner you need. And where it should go!

“Picking the wrong spot for your aircon means it will have to work harder to keep you cool, which can lead to higher running costs,” warns Scott Bazley, The Good Guys Buyer – Seasonal.
