Melbourne Aircon Specialist Unveils New Analysis on Air Conditioning Running Costs in Victoria

MILL PARK, Australia - Nov. 24, 2025 - PRLog -- Melbourne Aircon Specialist has released an updated analysis aimed at helping Victorian homeowners understand which air conditioning systems are the most affordable to operate. With energy prices continuing to surge across the state, the company's new report offers valuable guidance for households seeking cost-effective heating and cooling solutions.

Main Insights from the Report

1. Split Systems Offer the Best Energy Efficiency

Reverse-cycle split systems remain the most economical option thanks to their high efficiency and zoned operation. Homeowners can cool or heat specific rooms, significantly lowering electricity usage.

2. Ducted Systems Provide Whole-Home Comfort at a Higher Operating Cost

Ducted reverse-cycle systems deliver consistent comfort across the entire home but typically use more power. The report notes that zoning can help reduce running costs when used correctly.

3. Evaporative Cooling Is the Cheapest to Run

Evaporative coolers are the lowest-cost option for households in areas with dry climates. However, their performance may decline on humid days.

4. Portable & Window Systems Are the Most Expensive to Operate

Although affordable upfront, portable and window units consume more electricity and often lead to higher long-term costs.

Helping Victorians Make Smarter, Cost-Effective Choices

"As the cost of electricity continues to rise, choosing the right air conditioning system has become essential for families wanting to reduce their energy bills," said a spokesperson for Melbourne Aircon Specialist.
"Our updated guide provides clear and practical information, making it easier for homeowners to select a system that keeps their home comfortable while keeping running costs under control."

The report also highlights how elements like energy ratings, insulation, thermostat habits, and proper installation can influence a system's day-to-day efficiency.
