Minimum Energy Performance Standards, or MEPS, is a government regulation that requires all Air conditioners imported into Australia meet a minimum level of energy efficiency.

Energy Efficiency Ratio (for Cooling) and Co-efficient of Performance (for Heating) are ratios calculated using the input power usage and output capacity of an Air Conditioner. The higher the EER and COP's are, the more efficient the air conditioner is.

Horse power is a power rating for the compressor; this does not take into account the actual cooling and heating performance of the system. Kilowatts (kW) are a rating for the cooling/heating output of the entire Air Conditioner working together and not just the compressor.

It is possible to take a split system with you to a new home. However the removal of the system must be done by a qualified Refrigeration and Air-conditioning Technician and must be done in accordance with the installation manual of the air conditioner. The warranty is only valid for the first place the air conditioner is installed, so please take this into consideration if you want to move your air conditioner.
