Even with summer ending, a reverse cycle air conditioner is an investment that can be used year-round. When buying a new air conditioner, there are many factors to consider, such as your room’s size and air conditioner capacity, air purification needs or if you want the option to control the cooling and heating from your smart device.
To help make shopping for your air conditioner easier, we’ve created this guide, featuring all the latest models from the biggest brand names.
