Aircon Installation

At Down To The Wire, we install various air conditioning systems, including split systems, ducted air conditioning, multi-split systems, and window units. Each type caters to different needs for a single room or an entire property. We’re here to help you choose the best option for your comfort and efficiency requirements.

To choose the right aircon for your space, consider these key factors at Down To The Wire.

• Room Size: The size directly influences the cooling capacity needed, measured in BTUs (British Thermal Units).

• Type of Building: Insulation, window size, and layout affect the aircon’s efficiency.

• Climate: Hotter climates demand aircon with higher BTUs for effective cooling.

This approach ensures you get the most efficient and effective air conditioning solution.

To calculate the right BTU for your air conditioner:

• Measure the room: Find the room’s area in square meters (length x width).

• Base calculation: Multiply the area by 25 BTU to cover basic cooling needs.

• Adjust for conditions: Increase the BTU for rooms with high ceilings, extensive sun exposure, or frequent occupancy by multiple people.

At Down To The Wire, we’re always ready to help guide you through this process to ensure you select the most efficient unit for your needs.
