Supply and Install a Panasonic Air Conditioner
Climate Air Solutions Installs Panasonic AERO Series Air Conditioner in Bucasia Home
When it comes to delivering quality air conditioning solutions in Queensland’s tropical climate, Climate Air Solutions is the trusted name for reliable, professional service. Recently, our team was called out to a residential property in Bucasia, a coastal suburb in the Mackay Region, to decommission an aging air conditioner and replace it with a powerful and efficient new system.
This job involved the supply and installation of a 7.1kW Panasonic AERO Series reverse cycle inverter split system air conditioner, tailored specifically for the home’s spacious loungeroom. From careful removal of the old unit to the secure mounting of the new outdoor system and electrical integration, our team handled the process from start to finish with precision and attention to detail.
Decommissioning the Existing Air Conditioner
The first phase of this project involved the safe decommissioning of the existing air conditioning unit. Decommissioning is a critical step that must be completed carefully to ensure environmental compliance and system safety. Our licensed technicians began by recovering any remaining refrigerant gas in accordance with ARC (Australian Refrigeration Council) regulations, using appropriate recovery equipment to prevent the release of harmful substances into the atmosphere.
Once the system was depressurised, we disconnected the electrical wiring, pipework, and mounting brackets. The old indoor and outdoor units were then carefully removed and responsibly disposed of, in line with local waste management regulations.
Why the Panasonic AERO Series Was Chosen
The homeowner selected the 7.1kW Panasonic AERO Series reverse cycle inverter split system, a model renowned for its energy efficiency, quiet operation, and intelligent features. With Bucasia’s subtropical climate bringing hot and humid summers and mild winters, a reverse cycle system was the ideal choice to provide year-round comfort.
This particular unit offers powerful cooling performance and rapid heating, making it perfect for larger spaces like living rooms or open-plan areas. The Panasonic AERO Series also includes nanoe™ X air purification technology, which actively inhibits bacteria and allergens, helping to create a healthier indoor environment—an important consideration for many families today.
Air Conditioner Installation in the Loungeroom
Our next step was to install the new indoor unit of the Panasonic AERO system in the loungeroom. Careful consideration was given to both airflow and aesthetics. The unit was positioned on an internal wall to ensure even air distribution throughout the space while blending seamlessly with the existing interior design.
As always, our installation involved the use of high-quality materials and professional-grade tools. Refrigerant piping, condensate drainage, and interconnecting electrical cables were routed discreetly to ensure a neat finish, with minimal disruption to the home’s existing structure.
To ensure long-term performance and reduce the risk of vibration noise, we used durable mounting brackets and insulating materials where necessary. All joints and connections were pressure tested and vacuumed to remove any air or moisture from the system before charging with refrigerant.
Outdoor Unit Wall Bracket Mounting
For the outdoor component, our team mounted the condenser unit on a heavy-duty wall bracket, rather than the more common ground installation. Wall mounting is often preferred when ground space is limited or where the system needs to be elevated to protect it from water ingress or debris—especially in coastal areas like Bucasia where weather conditions can be harsh.
We secured the wall bracket to a solid external wall, ensuring the weight load was fully supported and allowing for optimal airflow around the unit. Anti-vibration pads were also fitted to reduce operating noise and improve the longevity of the system.
Installation of an Electrical Isolator
As part of our commitment to safe, code-compliant installations, we also installed a dedicated electrical isolator switch near the outdoor unit. This isolator provides a safe and convenient way to disconnect power to the unit during servicing or in the event of an emergency. All electrical work was carried out by our licensed electricians and tested to ensure compliance with AS/NZS 3000 wiring standards.
Testing and Commissioning
After completing the physical installation, our team carried out a full commissioning process. This involved checking all electrical connections, testing refrigerant pressures, and running the unit in both heating and cooling modes to verify performance.
The Panasonic AERO Series features intuitive controls, including remote operation and optional Wi-Fi connectivity, giving the homeowners complete control over their indoor climate. We also provided a comprehensive handover, showing the residents how to use the system’s features and how to clean the filters to maintain air quality and efficiency.
Another Job Well Done
With the new system up and running, the loungeroom was quickly transformed into a cool, comfortable retreat from Bucasia’s humid weather. The homeowners were thrilled with the quiet operation, sleek design, and fast temperature control provided by their new Panasonic air conditioner.
