Decommission and Remove Existing AC and Supply and Install a New Panasonic Air Conditioner
Climate Air Solutions Installs New Panasonic 6.0kW Reverse Cycle Inverter Split System in East Mackay
Climate Air Solutions recently completed a professional air conditioning upgrade for a residential property in East Mackay, Queensland. The project involved the safe decommissioning and removal of the existing air conditioner, followed by the supply and installation of a Panasonic 6.0kW reverse cycle inverter split system air conditioner. As part of the installation, the team also replaced the pipework and electrical cabling and fitted a new isolator to ensure the system met current safety standards.
This comprehensive service provided the homeowners with a reliable, efficient, and modern solution to keep their home comfortable year-round.
Step One: Decommissioning and Removing the Existing Air Conditioner
The first stage of the project involved the safe removal of the old air conditioning system, which had been struggling to perform in recent years. Like many older units in coastal regions such as Mackay, the system had become inefficient and costly to run, with signs of wear on both indoor and outdoor components.
Climate Air Solutions follows strict industry guidelines when decommissioning units. The process began with isolating the power supply to ensure a safe working environment. Next, the refrigerant from the old system was carefully recovered using specialised equipment. This step is crucial, as releasing refrigerant gases into the atmosphere is harmful to the environment and against Australian regulations.
Once the refrigerant was safely contained, the technicians disconnected the electrical cabling, refrigerant piping, and drainage system. The indoor and outdoor units were then removed from the property. All materials were prepared for environmentally responsible disposal and recycling, leaving the space ready for the new installation.
Step Two: Supplying the New Panasonic 6.0kW Split System
With the old unit removed, Climate Air Solutions supplied a Panasonic 6.0kW reverse cycle inverter split system air conditioner. This system was carefully selected to match the cooling and heating requirements of the home.
The 6.0kW capacity is ideal for medium to large living spaces, providing strong cooling during Mackay’s hot summers and reliable heating during cooler winter periods. With inverter technology, the Panasonic system automatically adjusts its output to maintain consistent indoor temperatures while minimising energy consumption.
Key benefits of the Panasonic system include:
- Reverse cycle performance for both cooling and heating.
- Inverter efficiency, reducing energy use and lowering running costs.
- Whisper-quiet operation, ideal for family homes.
- Air purification filters that reduce dust and allergens, improving indoor air quality.
Step Three: Installation of the New Split System
The installation phase was carried out with precision and care to ensure long-term performance.
- Pipework and Cabling Replacement
To guarantee system efficiency and reliability, Climate Air Solutions replaced the refrigerant pipework and electrical cabling rather than reusing old components. New insulated piping was installed to connect the indoor and outdoor units, ensuring leak-free performance. Updated cabling was also run to comply with the latest safety standards and provide a dependable power connection. - Installing an Isolator
An electrical isolator was fitted during the installation. This important safety feature allows the outdoor unit to be quickly and safely disconnected from the power supply during maintenance or emergencies, in line with Australian regulations. - Mounting the Units
The indoor unit was mounted on a central wall to ensure balanced airflow throughout the living area. The outdoor unit was positioned securely outside, mounted on vibration-reducing pads for quiet operation and long-term stability. - System Testing and Commissioning
After all connections were completed, the technicians carried out a full system test. This included pressure testing the refrigerant lines, vacuuming the system to remove air and moisture, and checking the refrigerant charge. The unit was then powered on and tested in both cooling and heating modes.
The Panasonic 6.0kW system performed flawlessly from the first operation, providing the homeowners with immediate comfort.
Results for the Homeowners
The installation of the new Panasonic system transformed the comfort of the home in East Mackay. The homeowners now benefit from:
- Reliable year-round comfort with efficient cooling and heating.
- Lower energy bills due to inverter efficiency and modern design.
- Improved safety with new cabling, pipework, and the installation of an isolator.
