For a lot of us, a powerful air conditioner is essential for circulating cool air throughout the home or workplace during the hot Australian summer. Without one, no work or sleep is getting done. While window or wall units provide fixed cooling in specific areas, portable units can be easily moved from room to room.

When shopping for budget-friendly air conditioners, consider energy efficiency, noise levels, and the type of air conditioner that fits your space. Whether it's a portable or window unit, models with a high energy rating can save you money in the long run on electricity bills. Look for units with an inverter compressor, which can adjust cooling output to maintain desired temperatures more efficiently.

Many modern affordable air conditioning units in Australia now have relatively quiet operation compared to old-style models, making them ideal for bedrooms or living areas where noise levels are a concern. The outdoor unit should ideally have lower operating noise levels too, to avoid disturbing both you and your neighbours. Larger capacity units will tend to have slightly higher operating noise levels than smaller capacity models of the same style.

Keep an eye on Appliances Online, especially during seasonal transitions when demand changes might lead to greater discounts on RRP. Look out for sales and promotions on air conditioning units in the lead-up to summer or after the peak cooling season has passed. Other sales events such as End of Financial Year and Black Friday can also be good times to grab a bargain.

If you’re setting up air conditioning for a whole house, some manufacturers may offer rebates or bundle deals when purchasing multiple units or an air con system with installation services included.

If you’re looking for a cheap air conditioner, you won’t want to spend a fortune getting it installed. Installation requirements for air con systems vary by type and model. Portable units typically require minimal setup as they tend to be ‘plug’n’play’ and have a venting hose that is placed out of a window.

Window air conditioners can typically be installed without professional assistance, as they are not hardwired to mains power and do not require complex connection to a separate external venting unit.

Wall-mounted air conditioners generally require professional installation to ensure the unit is securely mounted and safely connected to mains electricity.

Determining the appropriate size or capacity of a budget-friendly air conditioner involves assessing the square footage and layout of the space you want to cool. As a general rule, you will need around 1 to 1.5 kilowatts of cooling capacity per 10 square metres of floor space. The kw cooling capacity is clearly included in the product name and Appliances Online allows you to filter your search by this feature.

Factors like insulation, ceiling height, and sun exposure can also affect the cooling capacity a space needs though, so bear them in mind to make sure you choose a unit that will provide the cooling you need.
