Summer is nearly around the corner and in Adelaide this can often mean extreme heat, dry days and temperature drops at night. To ensure that you stay comfortable this summer, we’re sharing our recommendations on how to check that you have the perfect climate solution for your home.

Overview of Adelaide’s typical climate

Adelaide boasts a Mediterranean climate, which means hot summers and cool winters. In summer, the temperature can get up to the high 30s to 40s – even more so in the Hills! This means that your home system needs to be able to cope with both heat during the day and cooler night temperatures. 

Reverse cycle air conditioners are dual purpose and able to cool or heat your entire house, meeting the needs of most Adelaide homeowners when it comes to heating and cooling solutions.

Types of reverse cycle cooling systems 

There are two main cooling systems that we recommend for Adelaide’s Mediterranean climate – ducted systems and split systems. 

Ducted systems

Ducted air conditioning keeps temperatures constant in the whole house, giving you freedom in your home without needing to remember to open and shut doors behind you wherever you go

They are good for people who want to keep their whole home cool without needing to shut off rooms separately.

Split systems

Split systems are perfect if you need to cool a single room that might get stuffy during summer. They are easier and cheaper to install than ducted systems and more units can be added if required. 

Picking the system that suits your needs

Choosing the right air conditioning system ensures that you’ll get the most out of your investment, while saving the planet! Some things to consider include:

  • Deciding if you need to cool the whole house or just single rooms
  • Size of your home
  • Energy efficiency of the system

We go more into detail on these factors in our blog on choosing the right air conditioning system
