A: There are many benefits to having a split air conditioning system vs a ducted system. They are usually much easier to install, and thereby, are often less expensive to have installed.

A: The size of your unit will depend on the size of your home. Smaller rooms that are no more than 25 square metres need an air conditioner that is around 2.6KW.
