Perth Air Conditioning Specialists

The best solution for bedrooms will always be the quietest air conditioning unit available, for this reason, a ducted air conditioning system will be the best choice of air conditioning for bedrooms.

However, if you are in a smaller apartment or simply are not ready to commit to a ducted system, your best option is simply the most energy-efficient unit you can afford that matches your room size (most likely between 2-3kw). The reason for this is that noise is lost energy, so by design the more efficient your unit is, the less noise it will make.

If you are looking to get the best sleep possible, we’ve also written an article that talks about the best temperature for sleeping.

We recommend considering an inverter air conditioner if you are looking for a system with improved energy efficiency and a longer lifespan. Designed for superior energy efficiency, these units can adjust their power output to maintain a consistent temperature, unlike traditional models which cycle on and off. This ability to modulate power usage makes them a more energy-efficient choice for air conditioning. Both ducted reverse cycle and split system air conditioning systems are available with inverter technology.

Reverse cycle systems are refrigerated systems with a reversing valve that changes the direction the refrigerant gas travels in your system. In cooling mode, hot air is pumped outside, and in heating mode, the hot air is pumped inside. These systems also have a dry mode to remove moisture from humid air, and a fan mode, which is great for circulating and cleaning air on milder days.

Ducted systems deliver cooled or heated air through a series of ducts to each room in the property, providing uniform temperature control. They are integrated into the building structure, making them less visible. On the other hand, split systems consist of an indoor unit connected to an outdoor unit and are typically used to heat or cool a single room or area. They are more visible than ducted systems, but can often be installed more efficiently and at a lower cost.

Small Rooms

For bedrooms & small studies (smaller than ~20m²), we recommend 2.5kw air conditioning units.

Medium Rooms

For large bedrooms, lounge rooms and dining rooms (~20m² – 45m²), we recommend looking at 3-5kw air conditioning units.

Large Rooms

For big rooms ( anything over 45m²) with less insulation such as kitchens and shared living/dining rooms, we recommend looking into 6kw+ air conditioning units

Open Plan Office or Retail Floorspace

Once you reach rooms over 50-60m², it becomes more complicated to recommend based on room size, there are many more factors you need to account for. A blanket rule would be to look at air-conditioning units upwards of 7kw, but we recommend talking to a specialist in our store to get the best efficiency possible – it could save you thousands of dollars each year.

These systems can easily integrate with other smart devices in your home. For example, you can use your Google Home or Amazon Alexa to control your air conditioning with voice commands. Some smart air conditioners can also be synced with smart thermostats for even better temperature control.

With a smart air conditioning system, you can schedule your air conditioning warm your house before you wake on those cold winter mornings or turn down or off when you go to bed for huge benefits in sleep quality. You’ll also benefit from improve energy efficiency, as you can set the system to use less energy when you’re not home.

Never forget routine maintenance again! Smart home air conditioning systems monitor your energy usage and alert you when it’s time for routine maintenance or when a potential issue is detected. This helps to ensure that your air conditioner is always running at its best and safest.

Standard Inverters

Standard inverters operate once the room reaches your desired temperature. Limited inverted technology then maintains this temperature for uninterrupted comfort and more efficient operation.

Premium inverters

Premium inverters continually adjust their cooling and heating capacity to suit room temperature. They reach the desired temperature faster, and adjust their energy consumption to maintain that temperature. Find out more about inverter air conditioning here.

We recommend operating on 22 degrees in winter and 24 degrees in summer. Every degree that you increase in winter or decrease in summer changes your energy efficiency use by 10%.

The best air conditioning temperature for electricity savings

This is the ultimate air conditioning system providing total comfort throughout your whole home. We customise the reverse cycle air conditioning system to meet your needs, with a variety of diffusion options and advanced zone (comfort) control options. The indoor unit and flexible ductwork is concealed above the ceiling. Conditioned air is delivered to each room through a ceiling vent. The condensing unit is outside in a suitable location.

Ducted Air Conditioning

All Stinson Air & Solar premium ducted reverse cycle systems have a Purtech triple-layered electrostatic filter installed as standard. These filters catch up to 30% more dust particles than standard single-layered filters. The Daikin range of wall-mounted split systems and air purifiers are the only systems endorsed by the National Asthma Council of Australia. Their excellent multiple air filtration systems are fantastic at expelling microscopic dust particles and odours and deactivating air-borne bacteria and viruses.
