Air Conditioning in Caloundra West
New estates are open, west-facing and short on mature trees — which makes a Caloundra West summer afternoon a genuine test for an undersized system.
Local work
Open-plan, west-facing, no shade yet
Three things stack up in a new estate home: an open-plan living, kitchen and dining space that behaves as one big room; a lot of glass; and streets where the trees are still saplings. There's nothing shading that western wall at four in the afternoon, and there won't be for years.
So the sizing gets done for the whole open space and the western sun together. Sometimes that's one larger system, sometimes two smaller ones placed to suit how the family actually uses the room.

FAQ
Air Conditioning in Caloundra West: common questions
Why does my new home get so hot in the afternoon?
Usually a combination of large western-facing windows and an estate where the trees are still too young to shade anything. Until the landscaping matures, the afternoon cooling load is much higher than the floor area alone suggests.
One big system or two smaller ones for open-plan living?
It depends on the shape of the space and how you use it. A single larger system suits one broad room, while two smaller units often work better where the living area wraps around a corner or the kitchen runs off to one side.
