How to select the right brand

When faced with the question of selecting an air conditioning brand it can seem like there isn't much difference between the brands other than price. However, in reality each brand has its own pros and cons. Compare Air Conditioning has looked at the pros and cons of many top split system air conditioning brands and, including Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Kelvinator, Kaden, Mitsubishi Electric, Samsung, Seeley International - Braemar, Carrier and LG. We've also looked at the pros and cons of the top brands for all other AC systems on offer, including ducted air condition, hydronic heating and VRV systems.

We have reviewed, compared and rated the top brands according to a number of important factors. These are the factors that should be kept front of mind when selecting your brand of choice.

Affordability is, of course, a key decision making factor, but it isn't the only one. At Compare Air Conditioning, we try to balance affordability with other factors to consider the value-for-money proposition. Energy efficiency is another key decision making factor. Many people are becoming increasingly environmentally conscious, but energy efficiency isn't just good for the environment, it is good for your hip pocket when it comes to paying your energy bill. Air conditioning is often one of the major contributors to a high energy bill. We have also considered other important factors, such as reliability, visual appeal, noise, manufacturer warranty and other factors in order to come to our own overall Compare Air Conditioning rating for each brand.
