Supply and Install a Daikin 8.0kW Multi Split System Air Conditioner
Climate Air Solutions: Multi-Split Air Conditioner Decommission and Installation in Mackay Harbour
At Climate Air Solutions, we pride ourselves on delivering customised, high-performance air conditioning solutions tailored to suit each client’s individual needs. Our latest project in Mackay Harbour, Queensland, involved the decommissioning of an older Daikin Multi Split system and the supply and installation of a brand-new Daikin 8.0kW Reverse Cycle Inverter Multi System Air Conditioner. The goal? To upgrade the home’s cooling and heating efficiency while maximising comfort across all living spaces.
Step 1: Decommissioning the Existing Air Conditioning System
The first step of the project was to safely decommission the existing Daikin Multi Split air conditioner that had been in use for several years. While the system had served the household well, it was no longer performing at optimal efficiency and could not effectively meet the growing climate control needs of the residents.
Our qualified technicians began the process by isolating and recovering all remaining refrigerant in accordance with Australian environmental standards. This step ensures there’s no release of harmful gases into the atmosphere. Once this was completed, the outdoor unit was disconnected from all electrical and refrigeration lines, and all indoor units were carefully removed. The decommissioning process was conducted swiftly and safely, minimising disruption to the household.
Step 2: Supply and Installation of the New Daikin Multi Split System
After the removal of the old system, our team began the installation of the new Daikin 8.0kW Reverse Cycle Inverter Multi System Air Conditioner. This powerful yet energy-efficient system is perfect for residential homes, offering zoned climate control with a single outdoor unit connected to multiple indoor units.
Outdoor Unit Installation
The outdoor multi-split unit was positioned in a discreet location outside the home, mounted securely to ensure proper airflow and stability. It was connected with insulated refrigeration lines to each of the new indoor units and wired back to the electrical switchboard. As part of the installation, we also supplied and installed a new weatherproof isolator to ensure safe and accessible power disconnection for maintenance or emergencies.
Step 3: Indoor Air Conditioner Unit Configurations
One of the standout features of a Daikin Multi Split system is its flexibility. The customer was able to choose a mix of indoor unit types and capacities to suit the requirements of each room:
- Lounge Room – 6.0kW Bulkhead Unit with Wired Controller
In the main living area, we installed a 6.0kW Daikin Bulkhead unit. This low-profile system fits neatly into the ceiling cavity, offering a discreet cooling and heating solution that doesn’t interfere with the room’s aesthetics. To provide the homeowner with precise climate control, we fitted a wired wall controller, allowing them to easily set and maintain comfortable temperatures with programmable schedules and fan speed adjustments.
- Main Bedroom – 3.5kW Wall Mounted Split Uni
In the master bedroom, comfort and quiet operation were a priority. A 3.5kW Daikin wall-mounted split unit was installed to deliver efficient temperature control with whisper-quiet operation. The system is ideal for sleeping areas and features Daikin’s advanced air filtration to maintain high indoor air quality.
- Bedrooms 2 & 3 – Two 2.0kW Wall Mounted Split Units
For bedrooms two and three, we installed two 2.0kW Daikin split units, providing independent climate control for each space. These compact units are ideal for smaller rooms, and allow each occupant to customise their own comfort without affecting other zones in the home.
Step 4: Airflow Grilles Installation
To enhance the effectiveness of the new system, our team also supplied and installed new return air and supply air grilles. These components play a critical role in ensuring balanced airflow throughout the house. The return air grille efficiently draws warm air back to the indoor units for re-cooling or heating, while the supply air grilles distribute conditioned air evenly throughout the rooms. These new grilles were carefully selected and positioned to complement the interior design while maximising air circulation and system performance.
Energy Efficiency and Long-Term Benefits
The newly installed Daikin 8.0 kW Multi Split Inverter System offers numerous benefits over the previous setup. With zoned comfort, the homeowners can cool or heat only the rooms they’re using, reducing energy waste. The inverter technology ensures the system operates at optimal efficiency, adjusting compressor speed to maintain a consistent temperature without overworking the system.
Each indoor unit features its own control, allowing complete flexibility for the family’s day-to-day comfort preferences. Combined with the upgraded grilles and isolator switch, the installation not only provides superior comfort but also peace of mind and ease of future maintenance.
Conclusion
This Mackay Harbour project highlights Climate Air Solutions’ commitment to delivering tailored air conditioning solutions that blend modern technology with user-friendly operation and energy efficiency. By decommissioning the outdated system and installing a powerful new Daikin 8.0kW Multi Split Inverter System, we helped transform the home’s indoor comfort across all seasons.
