Every Western Cape family and business is different, and they have different cooling needs when it comes to choosing an air con. It is essential to consider plenty of aspects when buying a new AC. Overall, the primary objective should be to buy an air conditioner that is energy efficient in combating heat and humidity, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly.
If you’re thinking about buying an air con to beat the Western Cape’s summer extremes effortlessly, you’ve got to do research and be smart about it. Whether you want a split system, multi-head split system, or ducted refrigerated air conditioning, the last thing you want is an expensive, wrong-sized air conditioner for your place.
To help you make a better decision, we have created a checklist of the top 6 things to keep in mind when buying an air conditioner in the Western Cape.
Three of the most popular types of air conditioners in the Western Cape are:
Depending on your cooling needs and the type of dwelling, you’d have to choose the right type of air con for your needs. You may also want to consider whether you’d prefer an inverter air conditioner for your home or a non-inverter system. Nowadays, most people are shifting to inverter air conditioning units because they’re more energy-efficient.
People are always asking us “what size air conditioner do I need?” which is a good question to ask given how many people already have wrong-sized air cons in the Western Cape and all over South Africa. After all, this has to be one of the most important factors to consider when buying an air conditioner. You need to understand that there is no one-size-fits-all air conditioning unit.
Take a look at this chart for split system air conditioning:
It is also essential to consider how long you want to stay in your office or home. There’s no point in purchasing a ducted refrigerated air conditioner if you’re planning to relocate in the coming months. Therefore, try to consult with a trusted HVAC contractor before deciding which type of air conditioner meets your requirements.
Given that heating and cooling accounts for about 40% of the average energy usage in South Africa, you’d want to consider an energy-efficient air conditioner that can provide optimal comfort and save you money in the long run. For instance, you can consider a split system air con that is regarded as one of the most energy-efficient air conditioning.
Most importantly, you need to consider the energy rating of the air conditioner – A+ is regarded as the most energy efficient. You can use the South Africa star rating label system as a guide to find the most energy-efficient air con.
Advanced air conditioning models come with lots of features. Instead of going into detail, we’re going to make it easier for you. Your air conditioner needs to have features such as:
The budget determines the quality of the air conditioner you’ll find on the market. For instance, air conditioners with a higher energy rating are more expensive than those with a lower energy rating. It can be best in your interest to consult with a reputable HVAC company in the Western Cape before buying an air conditioner because there is always going to be an AC system within your range. The more you’re willing to spend money on it, the more benefits you’ll get out of the system
You may want to invest in a reverse cycle air conditioning unit as you can use it in summer and winter. The initial investment could be costly, but it is better than buying a heating and cooling unit separately. In fact, purchasing a single reverse cycle air con is a much cheaper choice for any business owner or homeowner who want year-round comfort.
