What Size Split System Air Conditioner Do I Need?

Room-by-room kilowatt guide for split systems in Hunter homes.

As a rule of thumb: small bedrooms suit around 2.5kW, large bedrooms and studies around 3.5kW, open-plan living areas anywhere from 5kW to 8kW depending on volume, glazing and orientation.

Newcastle's humidity matters too - on muggy February nights an oversized unit that short-cycles will leave the room cold but damp. Right-sizing gets temperature AND comfort right.
