Split System Air-Conditioning

Split system air-conditioners are ideal where you only need a few areas cooled/heated. These are great for the budget and are a quick way to create comfort for the essential areas of your home.

Because we are licensed Electricians as well, we offer a great, one-stop service, from supplying a split system air conditioning unit, installing the indoor and outdoor units and also wiring the required circuit back to the switchboard.

There are many different types of split system air conditioning installations that may be required depending on the location. The easiest and cheapest option is the back-to-back air con installation. With this method, the outdoor unit is directly behind the indoor unit location. The outdoor unit can be mounted on a slab or on wall brackets, depending on requirements.

Some situations will require more complex options for a split system air conditioning installation. This involves extended pipe runs or if the outdoor is located high on the wall of a multi-storey building. The outdoor unit can also be installed on a roof or the indoor unit may require a condensate pump. Any advanced installations or special situations require site visit to make sure the pricing is correct.

How to determine what size Air Conditioner you need

First you will need to find out the size of the area you will be conditioning in square meters (m2), make sure you take into account any hallways or rooms which you cannot seal off

Once you know how big the area is, use the table below to decide on the right air conditioner for you. Don’t forget, large windows, heat loading, ceiling heights and room use all play a part in calculating your unit size. If you’re not sure, contact our friendly staff.

2.5kW Approximately   20m2
3.5kW Approximately   26m2
5kW Approximately   40m2
6kW Approximately   48m2
7kW Approximately   55m2
8kW Approximately   61m2
9kw Approximately   69m2

Getting the right sized air conditioner is more important than you might think.

Having a system that is too small can shorten the life of the air conditioner, since it has to work harder to heat or cool the room. This also means that it can take much longer to reach the temperature you want, or never get there at all. Your power consumption will also rise, meaning any savings you made on the initial cost of purchasing the system will eventually be outweighed by the increase to your electricity bill.

If you are ever unsure about what sized air conditioner you need, contact our friendly staff to arrange on onsite quote.

Ducted Air-Conditioning

Ducted air conditioning systems are ideal when you want to cool or warm an entire house. Ducted systems are zoned to allow cooling of different areas at different times. Your home can be divided into individual zones for each room of the house. These zones help to improve efficiency and reduce running costs especially during those warm Brisbane nights.

With ducted air conditioning systems, your indoor unit is hidden away in your roof and you will only see vents in the rooms and a larger return air vent. Ducting carries air from your home to a filter then to the air conditioner where it is then heated or cooled to keep your indoor air temperature constant. This enables one ducted air conditioner to serve your whole home.

What Is Zone Controll?

Ducted air conditioning with Zone Control capabilities allows for different zones (areas) to be set up in your home. The system adjusts airflow through dampers to control the air conditioning of the zones to reach the desired temperature.

Zone Controller allows for up to 10 zones to be set, where users can rename the zone on the easy-to-use backlit wired controller. For example, Zone 1 – Living Area, Zone 2 – Bedrooms and so on

iZone Ducted Air Con control

System iZone gives you total temperature control of each room or zone individually. iZone can operate up to 14 zones on any one system and every room or zone can be at the temperature you want, all the time.

By providing cooling and heating only when and where you need it,

iZone climate control systems maximise energy efficiency while reducing running costs. iZone climate control systems are fully scalable, which means you can afford it on almost any budget.
