Everything You Need to Know About Air Conditioning
At Crown Power, we know that when it comes to air conditioning, your top priority is keeping your space comfortable and at a just-right temperature. Understanding how your system works and the factors influencing its performance can make a big difference in choosing the best solution for your home or business. We’ve put together this helpful guide, highlighting key information before selecting your air conditioning system.
While the initial investment in an air conditioner is an important consideration, it’s the ongoing running costs that can have a bigger impact over time.
One of the biggest factors affecting your air conditioner’s running costs is the temperature you set it to. The lower you set the temperature, the harder your system has to work. In fact, running costs can increase by 10 to 15% for each additional degree below a standard setting. Consider setting your air conditioner to a more moderate temperature (around 24°C) to keep costs down.
Newer, more energy-efficient systems (especially those with Inverter Technology) use less power to achieve the same level of cooling or heating. So, investing in an energy-efficient unit upfront can save you money in the long run. When recommending a system, we’ll consider your energy efficiency needs to ensure you’re not wasting power.
The size of your air conditioning system concerning your space plays a key role in determining its energy consumption. A system that’s too large for your space will use more energy than necessary, while a system that’s too small will struggle to cool the area efficiently.
Proper insulation is crucial in reducing the amount of energy needed to cool or heat a room. The better insulated your home is, the less your air conditioning system will need to run. If your property lacks adequate insulation, your air conditioner must work harder to maintain the desired temperature, leading to higher energy costs.
If you live in a larger home or business, combining ducted and split systems may be a good solution. By using a ducted system for general cooling and split systems for targeted areas, you can reduce the load on your aircon and save on energy costs. By creating zones in your property, you can also control the cooling of specific rooms, allowing you to save on electricity by cooling only the rooms you use.
Air conditioning systems use the principles of heat exchange to cool or heat the air in your home or business. They operate by drawing in warm air, cooling or heating it, and then circulating it back into the space. The key components that make this process work are the indoor unit, the outdoor unit, and the refrigerant.
Indoor Unit
The indoor unit is responsible for conditioning the air in the space you’re cooling or heating.
Heat Exchange Coil: The coil absorbs or releases heat as the refrigerant passes through.
Fan: The fan blows air over the heat exchange coil, cooling or heating it before circulating it back into the room.
Filters: Filters help remove dust and other particles from the air for better air quality.
Remote Signal Receiver: This allows you to control your system from a distance, making it easy to adjust your settings.
For ducted systems, the indoor unit is typically installed in the roof cavity, and air is distributed through flexible ducts to various parts of your home. In split systems, the indoor unit is often mounted on a wall, and refrigerant lines connect it to the outdoor unit.
Outdoor Unit
The outdoor unit is also known as the condenser and is designed to pump refrigerant to the indoor unit. Inside the outdoor unit, you’ll find:
Compressor: This increases the pressure of the refrigerant to help it absorb heat more effectively.
Heat Exchange Coil: This allows the refrigerant to release heat absorbed from the indoor air.
Propeller Fan: The fan blows air over the heat exchange coil to cool the refrigerant and facilitate heat transfer.
Ducted Systems
Ducted air conditioning systems are perfect for cooling or heating entire homes. These systems use zones to control specific areas of the home, making them energy-efficient by only cooling or heating the spaces that need it.
Zones: Each zone is a space within your home that is easily climate-controlled. Zones can be turned on or off, helping to manage energy consumption.
Ceiling Vents: These are the outlets where conditioned air is delivered to the rooms. Vents are installed in the ceiling to deliver the air from the indoor unit to these vents.
Sensors & Controllers
Air conditioning systems are equipped with sensors that constantly measure the temperature of each zone. These sensors help the system make adjustments to maintain the desired temperature.
They also have controllers that allow you to manage the temperature of the space. Many modern air conditioning units have smart controllers that use your smart devices for easy management.
When it comes to selecting the perfect air conditioning system for your space, there are a number of factors to take into account. Each home or business is unique, and understanding your specific needs can help you find the most efficient and cost-effective solution. Here are some important considerations to guide your decision:
The standard price range for a ducted system is from $5,000 to $30,000 plus, while the standard amount for a split system ranges from $1,300 to $4,000 per room. Ultimately, the price of an air conditioning system is determined by the size of your home.
The higher the capacity, the more costly it will be. For maximum efficiency, you will have to calculate the size of the living area in preparation for a ducted system. For example, when installing a split system, the chosen air conditioner is most commonly based on the size and number of rooms in the property.

The size of your room and the layout of your space will determine how much cooling or heating power you need. Larger rooms may require more powerful units or multiple systems, while smaller rooms can be efficiently managed with a split system.
At Crown Power, we can help you assess your space and recommend a system that matches the size and flow of your home or business.
Different brands and types of air conditioning systems offer various features, efficiency levels, and durability. As one of the leading Sunshine Coast air conditioning companies, we work with trusted brands that provide reliable, long-lasting units. These include:
While there are other more cost-effective machines on the market, investing in a quality machine will allow you to save on both electricity and maintenance in the long term. It’s important to factor in both the initial and lifetime costs of an air conditioning system.
Control and ease of use are essential when choosing an air conditioning system. Consider whether you prefer manual control via a wall-mounted unit or would you rather have the convenience of controlling your system remotely from your smartphone or tablet.
Some systems also offer smart features like temperature scheduling, zone control, and integration with home automation. However, these can be a bigger investment.
Air conditioners that are less efficient are usually cheaper to begin with, but your power bill will be more expensive, especially over summer when your system is used more frequently.
That why, beyond keeping your budget in mind, it is important to take energy ratings into account, recommending systems that provide optimal cooling or heating with minimal energy consumption.
If you’re after year-round comfort, a Reverse Cycle Air Conditioner is ideal for users looking for unmatched functionality and versatility. How does it work? In cooling mode, it functions just like any traditional air conditioner, pulling in warm air from the room and cooling it with an evaporator coil. But when winter is in full force, it can be used as a heating system by reversing the refrigeration cycle.
With the added benefits of dehumidifying and air filtration, reverse cycle systems not only regulate temperature but also improve air quality, creating a healthy, comfortable living environment.
On the other hand, Split System Air Conditioning is a fantastic choice if you’re looking for a simple, efficient way to cool specific rooms or areas. This system consists of two units: an indoor unit (usually mounted on the wall) and an outdoor unit that’s placed outside.
Split systems are perfect for cooling bedrooms, living rooms, or offices, offering quiet, efficient performance. While they only provide cooling, they easily maintain the temperature in your space without the complexity or investment of a full home system.
