Choosing the right air conditioning for your Koh Samui home

Size, efficiency, and installation matter. Here is what to consider before you buy.

Getting the size right

An undersized unit will run constantly and still not cool the room. An oversized unit will short-cycle and may leave the air damp. We can do a simple load calculation based on your room size, insulation, and sun exposure to recommend the right BTU.

Inverter vs non-inverter

Inverter ACs adjust compressor speed to match demand, so they use less power and are quieter. For a home on Koh Samui where AC runs often, an inverter model usually pays back the extra cost through lower electricity bills.

Installation and maintenance

Proper installation—level mounting, correct refrigerant charge, and clean drainage—extends the life of your unit. We install and service all major brands and offer cleaning and maintenance plans to keep your AC running efficiently year-round.
