Ducted Air Conditioner Installation Walkerston

This was a recently purchased four bedroom house with two living areas. The client wanted us to install a ducted air conditioning system in every room on the property that could be controlled by one controller.

Supply and Install a Ducted Air Conditioning System

We inspected the property to see what type of access was available to install the ducted air conditioning system. The roof cavity was spacious enough to lay all the airflow pipes. There was also access to each room in the roof cavity where we would add the air ventilators.

For this project, we chose a Daikin 14.0kW reverse cycle inverter ducted air conditioning system with R32 refrigerant. The indoor unit is a low profile system that will fit comfortably into the roof.  The outdoor unit will sit on rubber feet that is affixed to a concrete floor to reduce the noise. The channel ducts we installed are made from a steel wire coil that is covered by flexible polyester and insulated with aluminium.

We installed round cone diffusers in the ceilings to distribute the air across the rooms. We placed a return air vent in the hallway. Return air grilles function in the opposite direction from diffusers, which provide conditioned air, in that they are intended to remove air from a room so that it can be further conditioned. The filter can be easily removed for cleaning thanks to its hinged construction.

Controlling the ducted air conditioner system

Adding the Myzone controller system allows the regulation of airflow that is ducted into any room. This system saves on electricity and extends the life of the ducted air conditioning system because it does not have to work as hard to bring the entire property to the same temperature. For example, during the day you may be working from your home office and you are the only occupant of the home. You can set the air conditioner to only heat or cool your office space. The Myzone system maximizes comfort levels by directing available airflow where it is most required.

For this ducted air conditioner installation we installed the Myzone 2 controller to manage 5 zones.

What are inverter ducted air conditioning systems?

Inverter ducted air conditioning systems are a type of HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) solution designed to provide efficient and consistent climate control throughout a building. Here’s a breakdown of their key features and benefits:
1. Inverter Technology:
– Variable Speed Compressor: Unlike traditional air conditioners that operate at a fixed speed, inverter systems use a variable speed compressor. This allows the system to adjust its output to match the current cooling or heating needs, rather than cycling on and off.
– Energy Efficiency: The ability to modulate the compressor speed means that inverter systems are generally more energy-efficient. They use less power and reduce energy consumption compared to non-inverter systems.

2. Ducted System:
– Centralised Cooling/Heating: Ducted systems involve a central unit that distributes conditioned air through a network of ducts. This allows for uniform temperature control across multiple rooms or areas within a building.
– Discrete Installation: The ductwork is usually hidden within ceilings or walls, making the system less obtrusive compared to wall-mounted units.

3. Benefits:
– Consistent Comfort: The inverter technology ensures that the system maintains a steady temperature without frequent fluctuations, providing consistent comfort.
– Reduced Noise: Since the compressor in an inverter system doesn’t turn on and off as often, it tends to operate more quietly.
– Lower Operating Costs: The efficiency of inverter systems can lead to lower energy bills over time, as they consume less power and have lower running costs.
– Improved Longevity: The reduced strain on the system due to the variable speed operation can lead to less wear and tear, potentially extending the lifespan of the unit.

4. Applications:
– Residential and Commercial Use: Inverter ducted systems are versatile and can be used in both residential and commercial settings, providing effective climate control in various types of buildings.

Overall, inverter ducted air conditioning systems offer a blend of efficiency, comfort, and discreet installation, making them a popular choice for many modern buildings.
