For most Brisbane homes, a split-system air conditioner is the ideal choice for bedrooms and living areas. They’re quiet, energy-efficient, quick to install, and excellent value for money.
Choosing the Right Size
Bedrooms: 2.5–3.5 kW
Living areas: 5–7 kW
Open-plan spaces: 7–10 kW+
(We’ll confirm the correct size during our on-site assessment.)
Features to Look For
In Brisbane’s warm and humid climate, inverter models with quiet modes and a good “dry/dehumidify” setting are highly recommended. These make rooms more comfortable without needing to drop the temperature too low.
Professional Installation
All systems are installed by licensed technicians. We provide fixed-price quotes across Brisbane, with no hidden surprises.

Sizing Guide (kW by Room)
Correct sizing = comfort, efficiency and quiet operation.
Bedrooms (up to ~12–16 m²): 2.5–3.5 kW
Medium living/dining (~18–28 m²): 5–6 kW
Large living/open-plan (~28–45 m²): 7–10 kW+
We also consider insulation, ceiling height, sun exposure, glazing, and airflow when recommending a system.
💡 Tip: In Brisbane’s humidity, a good dehumidify mode can make a big difference to comfort.
Noise & Placement
Indoor unit: Best placed high on an internal wall, with quiet mode for bedrooms.
Outdoor unit: Needs clear airflow, away from bedroom windows where possible, and positioned with neighbours in mind.
Drainage: Must discharge legally — no dripping onto pathways.
Running Costs & Efficiency
Modern inverter split-systems automatically adjust to the room’s cooling load, which saves energy and reduces noise. Look for:
High star ratings
Good low-fan performance for night use
Wi-Fi control to schedule use and avoid wasted energy
