Essential Aircon & Fan Brands
Australia is preparing for some of its most extreme temperatures of the year, with the mercury expected to rise over 40 degrees Celsius in multiple regions.
South Australia is expected to bear most of the brunt, with estimated temperatures upwards of 45 degrees. No matter how severely your area is affected, it pays to be prepared for this week of sweltering heat, while also thinking about the remainder of the Australian summer. Whether you need an air conditioner to beat the heat in multiple rooms, or you’re simply in need of a spot cooler, we’re here to stop you from sticking to your seat.
Summer Essential: Esatto's 4.4kW Portable Air Conditioner - EPAC44C
A portable air conditioner is a sensible option if you live in a rental property or if you are sticking to a tight budget. With three fan speeds and four cooling modes, Esatto’s 4.1kW portable air conditioner is a versatile cooling solution.
Use the timer mode to ensure you receive a chilled welcome when you arrive home from work, or the sleep mode for more energy-conscious use overnight. There’s also an ION feature that filters pollen and other irritants from your air.
Summer Essential: Kelvinator's 2.2kW Window Box Reverse Cycle Air Conditioner - KWH20HRE
If you’re looking to cool a single room, a window box air conditioner can work wonders. Kelvinator’s 2.2kW model is best suited to rooms 20m2 or below. Use the remote control to adjust performance from your favourite armchair, and use the auto swing function to move the cool air more evenly throughout your space.
Other handy features include a 24-hour timer, a sleep mode, and a dust filter that removes larger airborne particles. This is a reverse cycle unit, meaning you can also use it in the winter when you’re ready to welcome warmth again.
Summer Essential: Esatto's 5kW Reverse Cycle Split System Inverter Air Conditioner - ESAC50RC
Great for open-plan living arrangements, a split system is by far the most popular type of air conditioner in Australian homes. This 5kW model from Esatto provides excellent value-for-money. Achieve the right performance for any conditions with five program modes and four fan speeds.
There’s a turbo function for when relief can’t come soon enough, and a self-clean function for fuss-free maintenance. Please note, this model is not available to Queensland residents as it is not DRED-enabled.
Summer Essential: Sunbeam's Electric Pedestal Fan - FA8900
If your home is in the path of rejuvenating sea breezes and you only require some light relief, perhaps a pedestal fan is for you. This Sunbeam unit features tri-movement oscillation to direct air up, down, and all around.
The Wind mode will replicate the organic movements of an outdoor breeze, to make you forget you’re sitting in front of a fan. Due to its practical portability, you can position the fan in the part of your home that needs it the most
