- Which rooms in your home are you looking to cool down or heat up?
- What are the dimensions and the structure of the space(s)? If it’s your whole home, you may consider a ducted or multi-head system. If there is only one room that needs a change then a single unit, wall-mounted, or even portable unit might do the trick.
- Can you close off areas to maintain the temperature in the most heavily used areas?
- Is your home insulated? Insulation helps maintain the inside climate.
- Do you have double glazing or binds or curtains to keep an even temperature inside your home?

Quick Tip – The ideal inside temperature in your home in winter is between 18-20 °C and between 23-27ºC in summer. Each degree of difference increases your energy consumption by up to 10%, so make sure you close doors or blinds to maximise your heating or cooling effect.
