Heating options

The Compare Air Conditioning Team put together a quick guide of heating options provided by the top air conditioning installation companies in the Adelaide area. Due to Adelaide having warm, sunny weather and low-humidity year-round climate, many of the companies recommended a heating option that also included a cooling feature as well.

Morphett Air

Morphett Air offers split system heating and ducted heating systems for residential and commercial customers.  The company recommends a ducted reverse cycle air conditioning system as the best heating option for Adelaide customers. The benefit of the reverse cycle ducted system is that it also provides cooling, which suits the Adelaide weather, whilst providing stable and constant air conditioning. The company’s recommended brand for ducted reverse cycle air conditioning is Rinnai, as they describe it as being great value for money and reliable brand.

For the heating of smaller spaces and rooms, the Morphett Air team recommends installing single or multi-system reverse cycle split systems, with Daikin being the preferred brand.

Rite Price Heating and Cooling

Rite Price heating and Cooling offers ducted heating (Braemar) and ducted gas heating, ducted reserve cycle heating (Toshiba, Mistubishi Electric, Carrier, Actron and Braemar) and split systems (Toshiba, Mitsubishi Electric, Carrier and Braemar). They also can install Braemar gas wall furnaces and wood heaters.

The Rite Price Heating and Cooling team recommends a ducted heating system, which can be either powered by gas or electricity, as their best heating option for Adelaide customers. Their preferred brand for ducted heating is Braemar, as they believe it is a superior choice based on its value for money and reliability.

For Adelaide customers who are looking for both a heating and cooling option, the Rite Price Heating and Cooling team recommend a ducted reverse cycle system from Mitsubishi Electric.

Gleneg Air

Glenelg Air offers only Daikin heating options to their customers, which includes ducted reserves cycle air conditioners and splits systems. They also have Daikin VRV (variable refrigerant volume) systems, which are quiet and discreet multi-split type air conditioners, which are specially designed for commercial buildings.

Climat

Climat’s heating options offered by the company include Rinnai gas space and fires, ducted gas heating, reverse cycle split systems and ducted reserve cycle air conditioning systems.

The Climat team believe a ducted reverse cycle air conditioning system is best suited to the Adelaide climate, as it provides both heating and cooling. A ducted system also has fixed stable coverage all over the house and does not blow air like split systems. They recommend Rinnai as they believe that it is an effective and value for money brand option. For customers looking for leading brands, the Climat team recommends Mitsubishi Electric and Daikin ducted air conditioning units, which generally carry a higher price tag.
