Choosing the right cooling system
for your home
There’s nothing quite like walking into the cool surrounds of your home and escaping the blistering summer
heat outside. When you consider that cooling accounts for a large proportion of your household’s energy
costs over summer, it’s so important to select the right cooling methods for your home. The wrong choice
can prove not only costly, but uncomfortable too.

Making your cooling decision
The most important choice you have to make is whether
you need to cool separate rooms or your whole home.
Room cooling
If you only need to cool individual rooms in your home,
then a refrigerated high wall split system is the way to go.
Bonaire also offers a low cost and easy to install window-
mounted fresh air room evaporative cooler – the Bonaire Durango
Evaporative Cooler.
Whole-of-home cooling
When it comes to cooling your whole home, you have the
choice of two main systems: ducted evaporative air conditioning
and ducted refrigerated systems.
Ducted evaporative air conditioning uses fresh air to cool all
rooms of your home at the same time. Fresh air is drawn from
outside your home through the water moistened filters, which
cools and cleans the air. The cool, fresh air is then circulated
through the ducts, forcing stale air out through open windows
and doors. This natural cooling process has low installation, low
running costs, low noise, low greenhouse emissions, and is ideal
for asthma and hay fever sufferers. All rooms in your home are
cooled at the same time, and the fact that doors and windows
remain open is ideal for today’s indoor/outdoor lifestyle.
Ducted refrigerated systems work on the same principal as split
room systems. Traditionally you’ll find these work on a day/night
zone system which allows you to cool the living areas of your
home during the day and cool the sleeping areas at night. To
maximise the efficiency and effectiveness of the Bonaire ducted
refrigeration system, doors and windows need to remain closed.
Some important questions
• In a long hot summer, will I be comfortable just cooling
one or two rooms?
• Do I want the comfort of having every room cooled?
• Should the purchase price be my biggest consideration?
• Do I need cooling all day or for short periods of time?
• Should I think about running costs?
• Will noise bother me or my neighbours?
• Does anyone in my house suffer from asthma or
hay fever?
