What is different about air conditioning in Albury-Wodonga
Albury-Wodonga runs its air conditioning both ways. Summers regularly pass 35 degrees and reverse-cycle systems cool through January and February; winters are frosty and the same units heat through June, July and August. That double duty means systems here work as many hours as those in the tropics, just split across two seasons, and annual servicing pays for itself in running costs and longevity. Ducted reverse-cycle is common in the newer estates; older homes often have a mix of split systems and evaporative coolers.
The trade covers both sides of the border and prices sit below Sydney and Melbourne. Demand peaks twice a year, before summer and before winter, and the shoulder months of March, April, September and October are the easiest time to book.
Two seasons
Systems heat in winter and cool in summer; servicing in autumn or spring catches both.
Evaporative coolers
Common in older homes; they need pad replacement and pre-summer servicing that is a different job from split systems.
Ducted systems
Newer estates favour ducted reverse-cycle, which needs duct, zone and filter checks as well as the outdoor unit.
Dust and pollen
Dry summers and rural surrounds mean filters and coils clog with dust and pollen.
