What is different about aircon installation in Albury-Wodonga
Air conditioning in Albury-Wodonga has to do two jobs: cool through summers that regularly pass 35 degrees and heat through frosty winters. Reverse-cycle systems sized for both are the norm, and installers here think about heating capacity at low temperatures in a way coastal installers do not. Ducted reverse-cycle dominates the newer estates at Thurgoona, Leneva and Baranduda; older homes often add split systems room by room, sometimes alongside an evaporative cooler.
