A range of different cooling systems are available to suit all kinds of homes. You can begin the process of choosing a cooling system by considering your household requirements, including:

• the size of the area you want to cool – is it a small space, a whole room, a few rooms or the whole house?
• the features of the space – Is it draughty or well insulated? How high are the ceilings?
• the frequency and duration of cooling required – Does the space need to be cooled all day, every day or just at particular times?

There may be a number of cooling systems that meet your household requirements.

To select the best cooling system for your home, consider and compare:

• attributes of different cooling systems
• energy efficiency ratings
• purchase, installation and long-term running costs
• unit life expectancy.
