For most of us, price is the most important factor when it comes to any major purchase. Anything over a thousand dollars and I want to know something about what I am buying. I want to know first if I can afford it?
Is it worth the asking price?
Does it do what I expect it to?
What are the ongoing costs?
In that order.
All those answers are right here for you to find easily.
LINKS TO YOUR RIGHT
The four most important questions are answered here. Comprehensively. No other air conditioning company or webpage will provide an accurate or definitive running costs figure. They all say ‘well that depends on the size of the room, the time of day, the carpet fabric and your neighbours sleeping habits… We used the manufacturers own specifications, the current cost of electricity, basic electrical math, and there are now accurate figures for almost every brand on that page.

CORRECT SIZE
COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE TO SPLIT SYSTEM AC AIR CON
The very first, and most important consideration with any AC Air Con purchase is its size. This is even more important than the price because it doesn’t matter if you spend $4500 on a split system, if it’s not the right size you have wasted your money. Think real estate. The only important factor is size, size, size. Get it right. Measure up. Send some photos, check online sources and be sure you get the correct size. Our installers won’t proceed if size is incorrect.
Your job might be delayed while we get the right size, but that’s far better than wasting your money. Following that, in order of importance, we have price, placement and efficiency. Fully explained in the next few modules.
AC AIR CON PRICES
Price is really the ultimate decider on where you buy, but it should not be the only consideration. If you need a 7kw don’t bother asking about prices on a 5. The only decision now is – who sells the one you need at the best price? Even if you live in Alice Springs, print off our price list, show it to the next guy who comes to quote and say ‘You need to beat that’. He will if he wants the job. There’s people who ask why we link directly to our competitors prices 365 days a year. You will figure it out soon enough.
TOP AC AIR CON BRANDS
Mitsubishi, Daikin and Panasonic are the outright leaders in the air conditioning field, but some of the lesser brands are now determined to show their manufacturing skill. Chinese appliances were once frowned upon, but take a look at their drones and its obvious that Chinese factories can push out consistent high quality when they want to. Check out Midea splits and you will be pleasantly surprised.
BEST PLACEMENT
There are some who consider Ac Air Con placement to be the most important decision they have made in their lives. Those people are idiots. But it is very important. More important than going to university, but not as important as getting to work on time. On the right day. A split systems performs only as well as the person who installed it. He must get the correct size, and place, for it do do the job as intended. So don’t bother going to university, you’re better off studying refrigeration at Yeronga Tafe.
QUALITY AND EFFICIENCY ARE PARAMOUNT
Size and placement have a more profound effect on your Ac Air Con efficiency than the quality, but the brand you choose still plays an important part. A correctly sized and located Midea will outperform an undersized Mitsubishi every day of the week. However, the Split system AC Air Con is a ten year plus investment. A weekly saving of even $20 adds up to $1040 per year. Over ten years that’s $10 thousand dollars plus. Assuming your installer is competent, then your split will be the right size and place, so the MHI might be $600 more expensive now, but in ten years you are $9,000+ in front.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Air Con efficiency is dependent on correct sizing, location and keeping the cool air contained in that area. The lounge room doesn’t just turn cold because the fridge door is open. Your split system must circulate that air a dozen times before it reaches the desired temperature. If air escapes half way through the cycle, your AC has to start over and he punishes you with a large power bill.

AC AIR CON GUIDE 2024
It’s not unusual to be overwhelmed with information when trying to decide how best to invest your air conditioner funds. The size of the purchase can be daunting , and you want to be sure that money is not wasted on rubbish. The simplest way is to break it down into simple terms. The Air Conditioner you buy needs to keep the house cold, using minimal power, and minimum cost, for as long as possible, and take no more space than is absolutely necessary. Now we know what we want from an AC, lets see how they stack up.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Issues that will affect the decision on which type of ac air con to buy, don’t readily become apparent until the ac air con is in your home. Usually by then it’s too late. If the store where you bought the ac air con doesn’t want to stand by their warranty, you’ll know about it, but not until its too late. Best to do some online research before the ac air con purchase, then you know that you’re in the right place.
BEST QUALITY BRANDS
Mitsubishi, Daikin and Panasonic are the outright leaders in the air conditioning field, but some of the lesser brands are determined to show their manufacturing skill. Midea appliances are quickly bridging the gap, and Mitsubishi may soon have some competition, but winning the best air conditioner award 5 years running is still an outstanding achievement.

The Queensland heat drives the market for air conditioners in Queensland. Trying to sleep in a humid 35 degree bedroom is an almost impossible task. It only takes a few nights staring at the ceiling, with sweat beading on your back to push a person to the point of exhaustion. Sleep deprivation has been used as a form of torture for hundreds of years, and the Australian sun is doing its best to torture you.
Europeans weren’t meant to live and work in such extreme heat. We’re more alert, productive, thoughtful and energetic in cool weather. We’re built for ice and snow, but some idiot two hundred years ago decided to colonise the hottest continent on Earth. Not much we can do about it now. Nobody wants to go back to England, so we just have to make the best of it and turn our homes into an esky with Mitsubishi Air Conditioners. Problem solved.
Every other page which exults itself as ‘the complete guide for buying an air conditioner’ really only spruiks it’s own product. Sells its’ own virtue and links to its own content. We here at ACExpert do the exact opposite. We’ve taken the time to link to all the other companies sites. Go there, see what they have to offer, by all means. We’re confident that we can beat their prices and exceed their service. We won’t try to keep your attention fixed on our pages in the hope of making a sale. People are free to go wandering off , but they often come back to us because our installs are consistently high quality. Our prices are almost always the lowest. We don’t sell rubbish brands and we offer straight advice.
If you buy an air con from us it will last.
That’s the bottom line.

WITH OUR AC AIR CON SELECTION GUIDE YOU’LL KNOW AS MUCH AS WE DO
ALL THIS INTERNET SHOULD BE GOOD FOR SOMETHING
With the age of internet upon us, there’s literally no need to fight for parking spots, wait in line or drive half way around the world buying an air conditioner. You’re better off doing your research online, in the comfort of your own home. You can learn everything you need to know about air conditioning, just viewing different websites, and reading the authors views on everything from best brand to placement to repairs. At least online you’re getting information you can verify in seconds. Most floor staff in the big retailers are honest, but many haven’t done a single install or warranty repair in their life. When you ask : How noisy is it? Where’s the best place for it? What are the regulations regarding installation, and proximity to a gas bottle? All they can offer are guesses.
We don’t need to guess the answers to those questions because Air Conditioner Installation is what we do six days a week, 52 weeks a year. All the answers are contained on various pages of our website. You can hear the real recording of air conditioner noise levels, see examples of our work, learn where units can go and verify you’re buying the right size. Anything we’ve missed, that you want to know, feel free to contact us. When enough people ask the same question that question gets its own page on this website to save you and me time on the phone.
I hope this (bizarre looking) home made website has served its purpose and answered every question you might have about air conditioning. Below are links to further information you may require.
