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 household’s energy costs
over summer, it’s so important to select the right cooling methods for your home. The wrong choice can
prove both costly and uncomfortable.
Whole of home cooling vs room cooling.
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.
Refrigerated High Wall Split Systems consist of a condensing unit
installed on the outside of your home, and a wall mounted unit
inside your home, which artificially cools the air through indoor
and outdoor coils connected by pipes carrying refrigerant gas.
Bonaire also offers a low cost and easy to install option –
a window mounted fresh air room evaporative cooler.
Whole of home cooling.
When it comes to cooling your whole home, you have the choice
of two main systems, ducted refrigerated systems and ducted
evaporative systems.
The ducted refrigerated systems work on the same principal
as the split room systems, with an indoor and outdoor coil.
Traditionally you’ll find these systems work on a day/night zone
system which lets you cool the living areas of your home during
the day and cool the sleeping areas at night.
Ducted evaporative coolers on the other hand, use 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
filter 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 and low running costs, low noise and low greenhouse
emissions, and is ideal for asthma and hay fever sufferers.
All rooms in your home are cooled at the same time.
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?
