In Australia our climate is so changeable that you will probably need a good air-conditioning system for your rooms.
You have the choice of 3 different types of system.
- Wall Hung Split Systems – these systems sit on your wall and are normally controlled by a remote control. These air con units you find in most hotel rooms in Asia and offer heating and cooling. If you are building a single room to rent this is your best bet because of the lower up from cost.
- Multi-Room Split Systems – with multi room systems you can heat and cool up to about 5 rooms from the one unit. If you are renting multiple rooms this would be a great option for you.
- Ducted Systems – if you are building a dwelling from scratch you may want to choose a ducted system. The ducted system is regulated from a central point so your guest does not have the ability to regulate the air temperature from their room. This can be positive from a energy usage point of view but a negative from a customer service point of view.
Another option that maybe something to consider is to find a system where you can control the a/c from a mobile application. Then if you know that the guests are not in the room you can turn the air con off remotely.
Air conditioning issues is a massive topic on AirBnB forums so you may like to do a bit of reading about that.
