Ducted Air Conditioner
A ducted air conditioner is
a great choice if you want to air condition more than one room or
area.
A ducted
air conditioning system has an indoor and outdoor unit; the
indoor unit can be placed in your roof cavity or under the floor of
your house (subject to access). Pipes and cables to the
outdoor unit then connect the indoor unit. Duct is connected to the
indoor unit to service different areas of your house, via floor,
ceiling or wall grilles. It is also possible to run 'droppers'
from the roof to the ceiling of your ground floor, to service your
downstairs area. These droppers can be hidden within
wardrobes, and be made to look as part of the construction of your
house. This can be assessed by our air
conditioning technician when he visits to discuss your air
condtioning requirements.
Ducted Air Conditioners come in different energy sizes, the smallest being a 5.0kW system and the largest residential system being a 25.0kW system. Systems of 18kW or more cannot be run on single-phase power and 3-phase power will be required. If you don't already have 3-phase power in your home, we can give you a separate quote to upgrade.
It is also possible to zone different areas of the house to enable some areas to be off and some on at the same time. This an efficient, cost effective way to run your ducted air conditioning system and with Daikins' new Zone Controller, which enables you to zone up to 8 areas, it couldn't be easier. Daikin's Zone Controller has been specifically designed for the Australian market and is manufactured here in Sydney; it has a clear backlit LCD screen with easy labelling of the different zone keys. Designed to be simple and easy to use it is a blessing for anyone that has been subjected to the standard light switch system of bygone eras. Download Daikin Zone Controller brochure.
10 good reasons to buy a Daikin from a Daikin Specialist Dealer
Using a ducted air conditioner is an aesthetically pleasing option with no bulky indoor units sitting on the wall, just supply and return air grilles encompassing different styles, makes, sizes and colours; from standard white plastic multi-directional grilles to bespoke powder-coated aluminium grilles, there will always be a grille to
Daikin ducted air
conditioners have many different features and this is why
we believe it sets it apart from others and is known as a superior
product; some of the features are...
Superior
Intelligence. Daikin's Super Inverter air
conditioners are so intelligent that, when in Auto Mode,
they consider all the factors that affect your comfort such as
outdoor and indoor temperatures. They then remember your
preferred setting in similar conditions and make subtle adjustments
to the temperature so you feel totally comfortable. Because this
intelligence eliminates excessive cooling and heating, it also
achieves energy savings.
Program Dry reduces
humidity levels to keep you comfortable when things become a little
sticky! Because the Daikin Super Inverter has increased power at start-up, the desired
temperature is reached quickly.
Silent Mode enables the outdoor unit to operate at the quietest level during the night, or when required. Daikin air conditioning systems are exceptionally quiet anyway. Download Daikin Ducted Air Conditioner Brochure.
There are many different choices of Daikin ducted air conditioners from inverter models, non-inverters and hybrids; from single-phase to 3-phase; from low static, mid static and high static. Inverter systems are quieter and more energy efficient. Learn more about inverter technology.
At Peninsula Air Conditioning we aim to install the best and most efficient system for you as possible. This means we don't use all the normal standard equipment. For example:
We use 50mm insulated
duct not 25mm. What does this mean to you? The
ambient temperature inside a roof space on a hot summers day can
easily exceed 50C; with 25mm insulated duct a significant increase
in the air temperature within the duct can occur before the air
reaches the intended outlet. In practical terms this means your air
conditioner will work harder, costing you more money, to maintain
the chosen level of comfort.
Exact Air Regulators - The most
versatile in the world. The opposed blade dampers (OBD) can be
set at differing degrees of open and shut allowing the exact amount
of air needed to reach the desired temperature. A system
should be balanced using dampers in the ductwork in order to
increase or decrease the airflow to each of the outlets until an
even distribution of air is achieved in each room. The standard
method of air management is the use of metal or blow-moulded
fittings and damper bodies. The conventional damper bodies have a
circular internal section called a 'scoop'. When the 'scoop' is
moved by an external handle it rotates more open or closed to
increase or decrease the air flow. However, this damper is
limited - once the 'scoop' starts to impact on the airflow it
creates a great deal of resistance very quickly, limiting the
effectiveness. The 'scoop' is also commonly fastened with a nut
which can, over the life of the system, loosen due to air pressure
and render the damper useless unless constantly adjusted. What sets
the Exact Air Regulators apart from the rest is the accuracy of the
Opposed Blade Dampers, or OBD's. They are a linear balancing method
that provides smoother and quieter airflow that distributes air
across the duct more evenly. They provide for proportional air
control that conventional 'scoop' type damper blades are no match
for, and have 21 different locked positions that will not move over
time.
Isolator Switches on outdoor units. An Isolator switch enables you to switch off the main power to the air conditioning system without having to find the main power source in your fuse box. Switching off of the system may be required if you are going away for long periods or if the system has malfunctioned.
We use Colorbond Trunking, not plastic capping. This trunking is used to cover all pipes and cables; using colorbond trunking enables us to match this with other colorbond products used on the exterior of your home such as downpipes and roofing.
Outdoor units are either placed on polyslabs or brackets. Wherever possible we use stainless steel brackets because they look better and have excellent corrosion resistance properties; however it is not always possible to use stainless steel brackets on larger outdoor units due to their strength and if this is the case then galvanised brackets will be used instead.
