Cooling System For Small Spaces
Just because you may live in a small space, doesn't mean you shouldn’t have access to cool air on the hot, Australian summer days. There are a variety of different cooling options available depending on what you need including;
Evaporative Coolers
Mini Split Air Conditioners
Portable Air Conditioners
Window-Mounted Air Conditioners
Ceiling Fans
Wall-Mounted Air Conditioners
At Gas Safe plumbing, we make sure that your cooling system is always running smoothly, no matter the size or space. We offer repairs and services to cooling system types for all leading retailers.
Evaporative Cooling
An evaporative cooler is a type of air conditioning system that cools the air by evaporating water.
The system is made up of a fan that draws hot, dry air into the unit and over a wet pad. As the air passes over the wet pad, the water evaporates and turns into cooler air, which is then circulated back into the room.
Evaporative coolers are the perfect solution for places with minimal space, such as a small apartment, as they are compact and do not require ductwork or a permanent installation. They are also relatively inexpensive, and they can be used to cool large open spaces.
They work best in dry climates as the air needs to be dry for the air conditioner to properly work.
Mini Split Air Conditioner
A mini split system air conditioner consists of an indoor unit and an outdoor unit that are connected by a small conduit.
The outdoor unit is installed outside, while the indoor unit is mounted on a wall inside the room. A small conduit with power cables, drain lines, and refrigerant lines connects the two units.
Because they don't need ductwork, popular mini split systems are a good choice for small apartments or for adding air conditioning to a room without ducts. Additionally, they offer precise temperature control and are energy-efficient.
At Gas Safe Plumbing, we are able to provide services and repairs to all major companies who offer mini split systems.
Portable Air Conditioners
A portable air conditioner is a mobile air conditioning unit that can be easily moved from room to room.
It consists of a single, self-contained unit that can be easily moved on caster wheels. The air is cooled by a refrigerant and then circulated back into the room through a flexible hose that is vented through a window or a dedicated hole in the wall.
Portable air conditioners are a good option for tight spaces because they do not require permanent installation, and they can be easily moved from room to room as needed.

Window Mounted Air Conditioners
A window-mounted air conditioner is a type of air conditioning system that is installed in a window or a hole in a wall. It is made up of a single unit that contains the refrigerant components, fans, and controls.
The unit is installed in the window or opening, with the exterior portion of the unit exposed to the outside, and the interior portion inside the room.
Window-mounted air conditioners are a cost-effective solution for single rooms, as they do not require any ductwork or major installation work. They are also relatively easy to install, and can be removed and stored during the off-season which makes them ideal to cool small spaces.
Fans
A ceiling fan is one of the most space and cost efficient cooling systems. Ceiling fans only take up roof space, a normally unused space. In a small space, a ceiling fan with multiple fan speeds can efficiently circulate the air, allowing for a cooling draft.
Fans can also be used in conjunction with air conditioning to improve the distribution of cool air throughout a room and make the air feel cooler.
Ceiling fans are a good option for places with very little space as they do not take up valuable floor space and can be mounted on the ceiling, out of the way. They are also relatively inexpensive, energy-efficient, and easy to install.
Wall Mounted Air Conditioners
A wall-mounted air conditioner is a type of air con system that is mounted on an interior or exterior wall of a building. It consists of a single unit that contains the refrigerant components, fans, and controls.
The unit is installed on a wall, with the exterior portion of the unit exposed to the outside, and the interior portion inside the room.
Wall-mounted cooling systems are a compact alternative to window-mounted air conditioners, as they do not take up valuable window space. They are also more secure and less prone to theft or damage than window-mounted units.
