Beat the Heat Before It Hits: Upgrade Your Air Conditioner Now for a Cooler, Cheaper Summer
As energy bills climb and another hot Australian summer approaches, many households are asking the same question: is it worth upgrading my air conditioner now, or should I wait?
The answer is clear: upgrading in time to beat the summer rush not only ensures comfort when you need it most, but it can also deliver real savings on your electricity bills while future-proofing your home.
Beat the Summer Rush
Every year, as temperatures rise, so does demand for new air conditioners. Households that delay until peak season often face:
- longer wait times for installations
- limited stock availability
- missed opportunities for sales and cashback incentives
- added stress and discomfort of potential breakdowns in the middle of a heatwave
By upgrading now, you’ll avoid peak-season delays and enjoy uninterrupted comfort when the hottest days hit.
Efficiency That Pays for Itself
Modern reverse-cycle air conditioners are significantly more efficient than older models. According to energy.gov.au, today’s systems can deliver between 300% and 600% efficiency. That means for every unit of electricity consumed, your system can provide three to six times that amount in heating or cooling output.
This leap in efficiency reduces running costs and makes modern units a smart investment for long-term household savings.
New systems also come packed with smart features that help you save more. Take our AvantiPlus® split system, for example: it includes a built-in motion sensor that detects human activity and automatically adjusts settings for energy efficiency and comfort, plus an Eco Operation mode for even leaner performance.
Split vs. Ducted: What’s Right for You?
Choosing the right system depends on your space, lifestyle, and budget. For smaller homes, units, or for targeted comfort, a split system can be the most practical choice. For larger homes, open-plan layouts, or offices, ducted systems offer whole-of-home and multiple room comfort with the ability to customise which rooms are conditioned.
Importantly, both options from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries feature advanced inverter technology for energy efficiency, warranties for peace of mind, and award-winning reliability recognised by Canstar Blue (Most Satisfied Customers Winner 2025) and CHOICE®.
