Buying a New Air Conditioner? Don’t Make These Mistakes

  Expert Guidance from Climate Green Melbourne – Accredited VEU Installer Upgrading your air conditioning system is a smart move—especially with Melbourne’s unpredictable climate. But without the right advice, it’s easy to make decisions that lead to higher energy bills, inefficient performance, and missed rebate opportunities. At Climate Green Melbourne , we help homeowners make well-informed, rebate-eligible choices. Here’s a breakdown of common mistakes to avoid when choosing your next air conditioning system. ❌ 1. Choosing the Wrong Type of System Not every AC suits every home. Picking the wrong setup can lead to poor coverage or higher running costs. Split systems are perfect for individual rooms. Multi-split (ductless) systems cool multiple rooms without needing ducts. Ducted systems are ideal for large homes and offer centralised cooling. Central air systems work best when ducts are already in place. πŸ’‘ Tip: Let our team assess your home layout to ma...

Why COP and EER Matter in Choosing the Right Hot Water Heat Pump

Image
 Looking to switch to a hot water heat pump? One of the most important things you need to consider is energy efficiency . Not only does it influence how much you’ll save on your electricity bills, but it also determines your eligibility for government rebates. At Climate Green Melbourne , we’re committed to helping you make informed, cost-effective choices. That’s why we’re breaking down the two most important energy efficiency metrics: COP (Coefficient of Performance) and EER (Energy Efficiency Ratio) . πŸ”Ž What Are COP and EER? πŸ”Ή COP (Coefficient of Performance) COP measures how efficiently your heat pump converts electricity into heat. For instance, a COP of 4 means that the system delivers 4 kilowatts of heat for every 1 kilowatt of electricity it consumes. Simply put: the higher the COP, the better the efficiency and the lower the running cost . For hot water systems, this is the number you’ll want to pay close attention to. πŸ”Ή EER (Energy Efficiency Ratio) EER is mai...
