It’s never too late to get an air conditioner installed, especially with Melbourne’s Summer lasting well into February and early March. Perhaps you wanted to try and power through December and January without minding the sweat but now you can’t take the heat anymore. After all our summers are only getting hotter and lasting longer.
Or your old air conditioning unit gave up the ghost and you could not replace it until now. Don’t sweat it anymore call Max Power Electrical and keep your cool for the rest of Summer. We even have a February special offer giving you free weatherproof power points with 2 or more split systems installed. Get one for your bedroom and one for the living space and keep cool day and night! We have included the costs of how much for a new air conditioner including install and the end of this blog so you can get an idea of prices.
Benefits of Installing a Split System Later in the Summer Season
There are benefits to installing a new air conditioner in February – it’s after the rush in Spring and the start of Summer. Most of our install jobs would have been completed in months earlier. We can get to you ASAP and quickly install your unit/s. And if you have solar panels February is great for solar electricity powering your home and reducing the energy bills. And why not knock out any Winter heating jobs at the same time and get advice on split system heating with your air conditioner unit. It’s actually more cost-efficient than ducted heating.
Choosing the Right Split System Air Conditioner
In Melbourne, it’s become less a luxury and more a necessity to have split system air conditioning in your home. And with increasingly longer and hotter Summers it really is essential for everyone, especially young families and elderly residents.
We can supply and install the split system unit and can recommend the best air conditioner for your home.
- Watt power
- Location for optimum cooling
- How many your home needs
- Best energy-efficient models
Our electricians will consult on the best place to install the unit based on the right spot for the best cooling combined with the best spot for the outside unit. And we can advise on the power/watt needed, it’s no good getting a smaller watt split system to save money on the unit. You will pay for it in not cooling the room enough, therefore, pumping the small unit too much and paying for it every single time the electricity bills come due. Getting the right sized split system matters. This also works in the opposite way too, for smaller areas like bedrooms you will not need a large unit like the one in your family/living area.
If you have already bit the bullet and bought an air conditioner and just need it installed we can do that for you.
Why Split Systems are Better than Ducted Cooling
With split a/c systems, you get the flexibility of choosing to cool just one room at a time. For homes that only need a few smaller sized key rooms to cool this is the most cost-effective option. Compared to ducted cooling which would waste power on rooms not needing cooling or wasting power of spaces not being used all the time.
Split systems are cheaper than ducted air conditioning and can cool the space in summer and heat it in winter. A mistake people make is to think one unit can cool a lot of rooms in the home. It is actually better to spend the upfront cost on two or more units than one unit. You will have controlled cooling and can target cooling where it is needed. For example, cool the living area when its occupied and then switch to the bedroom split system at nighttime.
What is the Best Air Conditioning Wattage for Me?

- 3.5KW for large bedroom or small apartment sized lounge
