Ducted Air Conditioning Tips for Darwin
Darwin's tropical climate means cooling runs 8–10 months per year — invest in the highest efficiency system you can afford, as running costs will be the dominant expense over the system's lifetime
Darwin's remoteness means material and labour costs are 15–25% above southern capitals — budget accordingly and confirm total installed pricing including freight of equipment
Cyclone-rated outdoor units and mounting are required in Darwin — all installations must comply with NT cyclone building codes, which adds to installation cost but protects the investment
