I want to install aircon units in me and my wife's home offices. I've been looking at brands and models, seems like Samsung is the way to go, but thought I'd get some opinions first.
Requirements:
So what's a good value-for-money option to look at? Something modern and efficient. Not looking to get top-of-the-line bells and whistles, but also don't want to get the cheapest one on the market.
And secondly, where to buy and who to get for installation? I was looking at AC Direct, pricing seems good and they do installations. I'm a bit skeptic of DIY guys installing aircons.
Requirements:
- Each room is about 17 sqm, so 9000 BTU should cover it (right?)
- On the first floor, northern side, but don't get excessive sunlight because of roof overhang.
- We are both frequently in long meetings, so needs to be relatively quiet.
- Running on solar, so power efficiency is important (low max power draw / kW).
- Wi-fi connected would be nice to have, coupled to my Home Assistant I could do some "cool" automations, but not required.
