Start with the Right System

Installing air conditioning is one of the best ways to improve comfort at home or in the workplace. But with so many system types and sizing options, it’s important to get the installation right. A poorly matched or incorrectly installed unit can lead to higher power bills, uneven cooling, and ongoing maintenance issues.

At VDW Electrical, we work with homeowners, builders, and business owners across Bunbury to deliver efficient, long-lasting air conditioning solutions.

Choosing the Best Type of System

Different buildings and lifestyles require different air conditioning setups. Here's a quick overview of the most common options:

Split System
A single unit ideal for cooling one room or a small open-plan area. Great for bedrooms, living rooms, and small offices.

Multi-Split System
Allows you to run multiple indoor units from one outdoor system. Best for homes or businesses with a few key zones.

Ducted System
Cools the entire home or building through ceiling vents and ductwork. Suitable for larger properties or when you want discreet, whole-building cooling.

What to Consider Before Installation

Size and Layout
The size of the room or space determines the power of the unit needed. Too small and it’ll struggle. Too large and you’ll waste energy.

Energy Efficiency
Look for units with high energy star ratings and inverter technology. These systems adjust power use based on demand, helping to reduce electricity bills.

Zoning and Smart Controls
Modern systems can be split into zones and controlled via phone apps or voice assistants. This gives you flexibility to cool only the rooms you need, when you need them.

Positioning
Both indoor and outdoor units need to be installed in the right location to maximise performance, airflow, and noise control.
