Supply and Install Two 2.5kW Panasonic Air Conditioners
Climate Air Solutions Delivers Efficient Comfort with Dual Panasonic Air Conditioning Installation in Ball Bay, Queensland
Decommissioning Faulty Units and Upgrading to Smart Cooling Solutions
In the quiet coastal township of Ball Bay, Queensland, Climate Air Solutions recently carried out a complete air conditioning upgrade for a local homeowner. The job involved the decommissioning and removal of two old and faulty air conditioners, one in the bedroom and one in the home office, followed by the supply and installation of two brand-new Panasonic 2.5kW reverse cycle inverter split system units.
The homeowner had been struggling with inconsistent temperatures, noisy operation, and rising electricity bills due to the inefficiencies of the existing systems. Our expert team was called in to deliver a more reliable, energy-efficient, and whisper-quiet cooling and heating solution, perfect for both restful sleep and focused work.
Step 1: Assessing the Existing Systems
Our first visit to the property began with a full inspection of the two old wall-mounted split system air conditioners. Both units were over 10 years old and showing clear signs of wear: reduced cooling output, unusual noises during operation, and frequent system errors. The unit in the office room had a known refrigerant leak, while the bedroom unit struggled to maintain a consistent temperature.
After diagnosing the faults and explaining the issues to the homeowner, we recommended a full replacement with two new Panasonic 2.5kW inverter split systems, one of the most efficient and reliable solutions available for small to medium-sized rooms.
Step 2: Safe Decommissioning and Removal
With the replacement plan agreed upon, our team began by safely decommissioning the old air conditioning units. This process involves:
- Recovering any remaining refrigerant using certified equipment, in accordance with environmental regulations.
- Isolating the electrical connections to prevent hazards.
- Carefully removing both indoor units from their mounts and uninstalling the old pipework and drainage systems.
- Taking down the outdoor compressor units and disconnecting the existing wiring.
All removed components were responsibly disposed of, with an emphasis on minimising environmental impact through proper refrigerant recovery and recycling of metals and plastics.
Step 3: Preparing for Installation
Before the new Panasonic systems could be installed, we assessed and adjusted the wall mounts and electrical setup for both rooms. Each indoor unit required a fresh backplate, positioned to maximise airflow across the room.
In the bedroom, the new unit was installed in the same location as the previous system, high on the wall to ensure even air distribution. In the office, we adjusted the mounting position slightly to improve cooling performance over the homeowner’s main workstation and reduce glare on computer screens.
For both rooms, new interconnecting pipework and insulated drain lines were run through the wall cavity. Outside, we prepared new mounting pads for the Panasonic outdoor units, ensuring they were level, secure, and located for optimal airflow and quiet operation.
Step 4: Installing the Panasonic 2.5kW Reverse Cycle Inverter Systems
The Panasonic 2.5kW inverter split systems are well-suited for smaller spaces such as bedrooms and home offices. These units provide:
- Quiet Operation: Ideal for sleeping and working environments.
- Inverter Technology: Delivers more precise temperature control and lower energy consumption.
- Air Purification: Advanced filtration to remove airborne particles, allergens, and odours.
- Smart Energy Use: Panasonic’s ECONAVI sensors adjust cooling power based on room occupancy and sunlight.
With all components mounted and connected, we evacuated the pipework to remove moisture and air before releasing the refrigerant. We then performed electrical safety tests, pressure checks, and ran the units through both cooling and heating modes.
Step 5: Testing and Handover
After installation, both systems were thoroughly tested to ensure optimal operation. We calibrated the remote controls, demonstrated all features to the homeowner, and gave advice on regular filter cleaning and seasonal maintenance to extend the life of the units.
The homeowner was impressed by how quickly the new systems reached the desired temperature and noted a dramatic reduction in noise compared to the previous units. The office, once uncomfortably warm during long workdays, was now a cool and productive space. The bedroom offered a restful climate with quiet, even airflow.
