Decommission Existing Air Conditioner and Supply and Install a New AC
Climate Air Solutions recently completed a professional air conditioning upgrade for a residential property in Richmond, near Mackay. The project involved the safe decommissioning and removal of an old, inefficient air conditioner, followed by the supply and installation of a new Daikin 7.1kW reverse cycle inverter split system in the home’s living room. This upgrade not only improved comfort and reliability but also enhanced energy efficiency for the household.
Decommissioning and Removal of the Existing Air Conditioner
The first stage of the project was the safe decommissioning of the home’s existing air conditioning system. The unit had been in place for many years and was no longer performing to the standard expected. Like many older air conditioners, it was struggling to keep up with cooling demands during Mackay’s hot and humid summers and heating requirements during cooler months.
Climate Air Solutions follows industry best practices and strict safety protocols when removing old systems. Their licensed technicians began by shutting down the power supply to ensure a safe working environment. They then carefully recovered the refrigerant from the old unit, complying with environmental regulations to prevent harmful gases from being released into the atmosphere.
Once the refrigerant was safely captured, the team disconnected the electrical wiring and pipework, ensuring all components were properly sealed and prepared for disposal. The old system was then dismantled and removed from the property, ready to be transported for environmentally responsible recycling and disposal. This step is crucial, as it ensures minimal environmental impact while making way for the new installation.
Supplying the Daikin 7.1kW Reverse Cycle Inverter Split System
After removing the outdated system, Climate Air Solutions supplied a Daikin 7.1kW reverse cycle inverter split system air conditioner, chosen specifically for the home’s living room. This model was recommended because of its powerful capacity, energy efficiency, and reputation for reliability in Queensland’s demanding climate.
The Daikin 7.1kW unit is perfectly suited for larger living spaces, delivering strong cooling performance during Mackay’s hot summers and reliable heating during the cooler winter months. With inverter technology, the system adjusts its output automatically to maintain the desired temperature efficiently, avoiding the energy waste often seen with older on/off-style air conditioners.
Key features of the chosen Daikin system include:
- Reverse cycle technology for both heating and cooling provides year-round comfort.
- Inverter efficiency that reduces running costs and provides consistent temperatures.
- Quiet operation, making it ideal for family living spaces.
- Advanced air filtration improves indoor air quality by reducing dust and allergens.
Air Conditioner Installation Process
The Climate Air Solutions team carried out the installation with precision and care, ensuring the new system was positioned to provide optimal airflow throughout the living room. The indoor unit was mounted on a central wall to evenly distribute conditioned air, while the outdoor condenser unit was placed in a discreet location outside the home, ensuring minimal noise and maximum efficiency.
The technicians installed new refrigerant pipework, drainage lines, and electrical connections, making sure everything was secure, sealed, and compliant with Australian safety standards. Once the system was fully connected, they performed pressure testing and vacuuming of the refrigerant lines to guarantee leak-free operation.
After commissioning the unit, the team programmed the system and tested its performance. The new Daikin 7.1kW reverse cycle inverter split system ran smoothly, delivering rapid cooling and quiet operation from the very first use.
Homeowner Benefits
The installation has transformed the living room into a comfortable and inviting space, regardless of the weather outside. The homeowners now benefit from:
- Improved comfort thanks to consistent cooling and heating.
- Reduced energy bills through the inverter’s efficient operation.
- Cleaner air with Daikin’s advanced filtration system.
- Reliable performance backed by Daikin’s strong reputation and warranty support.
By upgrading to a modern system, the homeowners can now enjoy year-round climate control with confidence that their air conditioner will perform efficiently for years to come.
