Common Mistakes When Buying an Air Conditioner Buying Guide

A good purchase starts with the room, product data and installation plan.

The easiest mistakes to avoid are the ones caused by choosing too quickly. Compare capacity and specifications first, then confirm installation and warranty requirements before ordering.

Choosing by price alone

A lower price does not tell you whether the capacity, operating type, features or warranty suit the room and your requirements.

Guessing the BTU size

Room area is only part of the picture. Ceiling height, sun, windows, insulation, roof exposure and occupancy can change the indicative load.

Overlooking the rest of the purchase

  • Installation requirements and site conditions
  • Whether installation is included or quoted separately
  • Heating and cooling availability
  • Wi-Fi or smart-control availability
  • Energy information where supplied
  • Warranty conditions and registration requirements
Product availability, specifications and warranty conditions are model-specific. Check the actual product information supplied before ordering.
