Alphington is a leafy, inner Melbourne suburb located 6 km northeast of the CBD with a population of around 6,500 residents. As one of Melbourne's greenest and most environmentally conscious areas, Alphington homes and businesses are increasingly adopting energy efficient air conditioning to remain comfortable while minimising environmental impact.

At Oz Air Group we install leading brands including Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Mitsubishi Electric and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. We recommend the most suitable split system or ducted air con unit based on factors like room size, usage requirements, energy efficiency targets and budget. We use our extensive industry knowledge to provide tailored advice for Alphington's unique climate and build types.

The average cost to install a quality split system air conditioner in Alphington is typically between $1,800-$5,500. More advanced and high powered ducted systems usually range from $4,500 up to $25,000 or more depending on the number of zones and other variables. In comparison to outer suburbs farther from the CBD, installation costs in Alphington tend to be 5-15% higher on average due to transport fees, hyperlocal demand and the technical challenge of retrofitting units on older, tree lined properties.

How to choose the size of air conditioner to Install in Alphington

To select the correctly sized air conditioning system for installation that will efficiently cool or heat your home or office in Alphington, the following key factors need to be considered:

• Melbourne's Climate 
  ‍Melbourne experiences warm summers and moderately cold winters. Understanding local climate patterns allows correct unit sizing to meet realistic heating and cooling needs. An undersized unit won't perform on hot days while an oversized unit wastes energy.
• Size And Type Of Your Home
  ‍The physical dimensions, age, construction style, and insulation levels of your Eaglemont home impact ideal air conditioning sizing. Modern designs need less capacity than older counterparts, and standalone houses need larger systems than apartments or units.
• Size And Design Of Your Rooms
  Carefully measuring room dimensions and accounting for openings, windows, and use patterns ensures that each space gets appropriately sized air conditioning. High ceilings, studios,, and combined living areas require special consideration.
• Energy Efficiency Rating
  ‍Installing a high-efficiency rated unit tailored to your usage cuts costs and reduces energy waste. However, top energy savings models can have higher upfront costs to consider before installation.
• Noise Level
  Under or over capacity air conditioning units can generate excessive noise disrupting home life. Correct sizing means systems only run at necessary times at acceptable sound levels for rooms and neighbours.
• Installation Cost
  Professional installation of a correctly sized unit ensures your air conditioning investment provides comfortable, cost-effective use for years to come. Avoid cheap undersized systems requiring frequent upgrades.
• Maintenance Costs
  Choosing reputable brands known for reliability and durability has lower repair bills in the long term. Economy models often have higher lifetime maintenance charges that erase initial savings.

Does An Air Conditioning System Require Maintenance?

Yes, all air conditioning systems need periodic servicing and maintenance to keep them operating efficiently. Preventative maintenance is especially important for hard working split systems and ducted units in areas like Alphington with hot, demanding summer conditions. Regular repairs and cleaning prevent early breakdowns.

Split systems typically require less invasive maintenance work than intricate ducted systems. Multi-split and ducted systems have more interconnected parts like pumps, filters and air handling units needing upkeep. Modern inverter models emphasise reliability and efficiency, partly reducing service needs.

Air Conditioner Maintenance Alphington

As qualified installers, Oz Air Group offers ongoing air conditioner maintenance for existing systems across Alphington. Maintenance involves a comprehensive service, tuning and check of an air conditioning unit's core functions - ensuring correct pressures, refrigerant levels, airflow, condenser operation, electrical supply and parts condition. This optimises performance, reduces operating costs and prevents avoidable breakdowns. Annual servicing is recommended.

How long does an Air conditioning system typically last?

The average lifespan of a quality air conditioner is approximately 15-20 years. Higher-end brands with timely maintenance, proper use and operating suitability for Australian conditions can even function effectively for over 20 years before major repairs are needed. Lifespan can be reduced through poor maintenance, improper use and installation or extreme weather exposure amongst other factors.
