Choosing the Right System for Your Needs

​

Singapore's hot and humid climate makes air conditioning a necessity for homes, offices, and industrial spaces. Whether you're installing a new system or upgrading an existing one, choosing the right air conditioner can impact your comfort, energy efficiency, and maintenance costs. At AirWOW, we specialize in professional aircon installation, ensuring a seamless experience with the best brands in the market.

​

Factors to Consider When Installing an Air Conditioner​

​

• Type of Air Conditioner

  • Split System Air Conditioners: Ideal for residential and small commercial spaces, offering efficient cooling with a sleek design.

  • Multi-Split Systems: Suitable for multiple rooms, allowing different temperature settings for each space.

  • Ceiling Cassette Units: Common in offices and commercial settings for even air distribution and aesthetic integration.

  • Ducted Air Conditioning: Best for large spaces, providing centralized cooling with minimal visual impact.

​

• Cooling Capacity & Room Size

  • Choosing the right BTU (British Thermal Unit) capacity ensures optimal performance and energy efficiency.

  • Undersized units struggle to cool the space, while oversized units consume unnecessary power.

​

• To properly size your air conditioning system, a useful rule of thumb is as follows:

  • Cooling capacity required in kW* = Total aircon floor area (m2) ÷ 5 

  • to convert to Btu/hr, multiply the cooling capacity figure in kW by 3,412

​

• Energy Efficiency Ratings

  • Look for units with high energy efficiency ratings, such as 5-tick NEA-rated air conditioners, to save on electricity bills.

  • Inverter technology helps regulate power consumption, reducing energy wastage.

​

• Installation Requirements

  • Consider wall strength for mounting indoor units.

  • Ensure adequate ventilation and space for outdoor condenser units.

  • Proper drainage is essential to prevent leaks and water damage.
