In Australia’s harsh climate, our homes need to act as an oasis against the extremes of heat and cold to help us live comfortably. There are numerous tools at our disposal — insulation, double- or triple glazing, building materials and orientation — but a key one is choosing the right heating and cooling solutions.
The climate in your particular area, the size of your home, the ceiling heights, and the amount of glazing and what type you’ve installed will all have an impact on the products you select. Equally important is the supplier you choose to work with.
