Buying an aircon? Easy.
Until old mate says:
“Just get the biggest one.”
Right.
Because apparently your bedroom now needs enough cooling for a Woolies.
You can spend hundreds more buying it...
Then more again running something the room never needed.
“Beautiful. More power.”
Yeah. Except you paid more... and the room still might not feel right.
Also brilliant.
Until Sydney hits 35 degrees...
The sun is smashing through the windows...
The aircon has been running flat out for six hours...
And you are standing underneath it like:
“Is this thing actually on?”
You saved a couple hundred bucks.
Congratulations.
Now you get to be hot for the next eight summers.
Before anyone confidently throws a kW number at you, there are a few things worth looking at.
You do not need to become an air-conditioning engineer before buying one.
You just want the recommendation to make sense for your home.
Room size is a good starting point. It is not the whole answer.
A room with small shaded windows can behave very differently to the same-size room with a giant glass door in full afternoon sun.
Same floor area. Different job.
Your brother might love his 7kW.
Your neighbour might swear by a 5kW.
Good for them.
You are cooling your house, not theirs.
If the bigger unit genuinely suits the room, great.
But if nobody can explain why you need the extra capacity, why are you paying extra for it?
Saving a little upfront feels clever right up until the first proper Sydney heatwave.
Cheap is not cheap if the room still feels hot.
“Why this size?”
A good recommendation should be easy to explain using your room, windows, sun, insulation, ceiling height and layout.
If the answer is basically “because bigger is better”... you might want another answer.
Rather than asking you to take “fully installed” on faith, for a qualifying standard SplitsPro installation the advertised installed price already includes the normal parts of the job below.
And if your home is not a standard install? We tell you first. Longer pipe runs, switchboard upgrades, difficult access, asbestos-related work and other non-standard requirements are priced before proceeding. No fear-mongering. No pretending every home is the same.
These are SplitsPro installation photos served directly from our own website.
If we size the system properly, explain the price before we start and leave you happy with the job, you are more likely to recommend us, leave a good review and call us again.
We do not expect you to trust us because we say “quality work”. We would rather make the quote easy to understand, explain the choices, show you finished work and stand behind the installation.
If you already know roughly what size you need, you can now compare our current Rinnai and Daikin supplied-and-installed prices using the same checks above.
*“No More To Pay” applies to qualifying standard installations. Non-standard requirements are explained and quoted before proceeding. Installation-time guarantees are subject to the offer conditions shown on the current installed-specials page.
