Your Guide To Summer Ready Air Conditioning

With the BOM predicting hotter than average days and nights over the summer months, it’s time to prepare your air-conditioning system for maximum usage.

 

If your unit doesn’t have a heating option and has been neglected over the long winter months, then it’s likely to need a fine tune-up. Some of the smaller jobs you can tackle yourself, for example, cleaning or changing filters, and clearing any built-up debris from the condenser, but for a thoroughly professional service, you should always call in a licensed technician.

 

Regular maintenance by a professional will ensure your air conditioner runs efficiently and leads a long and healthy life, but it’s a good idea to have a basic understanding of your unit to enable you to recognise when there’s a problem and stay on top of general maintenance.

 

Here’s a quick guide to the basics…

  • The condenser is usually located outside, therefore collecting leaves, dirt and other debris throughout the year. This area should be cleaned regularly, especially to get your unit summer ready.
  • The air handler blows chilled air through ducting to each room.
  • Filters reduce dust – some are disposable, others re-useable. These should be cleaned or changed monthly throughout the summer months.
  • Ducting is made up of tubes located in the roof space. This distributes air around the home and should only be cleaned and maintained by a technician.
  • The thermostat allows for you to set your temperature.
  • Registers are the grilles inserted in the ceiling that direct the air flow into the room – these can be removed and cleaned.

Before tackling any of the DIY jobs mentioned ALWAYS turn off the power supply AND the isolation switch 

 

Now you can enjoy those long hot summer days at the beach or in the backyard with the barbeque sizzling, relaxed in the knowledge that you can come home to a nice cool home.

Finding Your Comfort Zone

Spring can be a tricky time of year to keep your home at a constant temperature. With dramatic changes in weather from one day to the next, we often find ourselves alternating between rugging up and stripping back the layers. 

 

So how do you find your optimum comfort level and make your reverse cycle air conditioning work for you in an efficient and cost-effective way?

 

1. Find a starting point

Research suggests a temperature of around 22° to be the most beneficial for year round living. 

 

2. Accept some variation

Each member of the household will have their own individual ideal temperature. Those who are more vulnerable – particularly infants and the elderly – often thrive more in a warmer habitat, while others find comfort in cooler environments.

 

3. Avoid extremes

Not only is overheating costly and damaging to the environment, it can lead to a number of health issues. Insomnia is a common problem of sleeping in a hot room, along with hyperventilation, which reduces oxygen levels in the blood. Likewise, fighting to stay warm can have a detrimental effect on your wellbeing. Using energy to keep warm can lead to sleep and concentration problems, and cause muscle pain and fatigue. 

 

4. Decide your range

Once you have taken the above steps into account, you are on your way to creating a comfortable home. Good quality reverse cycle air conditioning can provide you with the tools to implement your plan. Choose a temperature range that incorporates the comfort zones of all household members and use the lower end of this range to set your thermostat. 

Australian houses tend to be designed to keep us cool in the warmer months so are often harder and more costly to heat on those cooler days. Get the most out of your air conditioning unit by giving it the best chance to work efficiently.

  • Insulate your home
  • Seal any drafts
  • Use window treatments to provide shade on hot days and prevent the heat escaping on cool days.

Welcome spring into your home with a comfortable, healthy environment for the whole family. Call our experienced consultants today on 9434 9496 or get a FREE QUOTE for a customised plan to provide the ultimate in comfort for your home.

    How to save money with Daikin Air Conditioning

    Save 27% On Heating With Daikin Air Conditioning

    In this economy, everyone is looking for ways to save money in their homes, but what do you do when your gas bill comes in and 69% of it is from heating?!?!

     

    Western Australians have seen the gas market increasing the running costs on appliances, influenced by the inflated costs of gas exporters from other countries. Resulting in hard earned money taken away from WA homes, don’t worry, we’re here to help you close the gap and start saving.

     

    Save up to 27% on heating by switching to a Daikin Split System

    Daikin Split Systems add versatility allowing you to rely on your system all year by providing heating and cooling options for your home, providing comfort all year. Where a gas heater is on;y that – a gas heater.

    We can do better though, not only will you save on your gas bill, but our Split System Air Conditioner will beat gas heaters in other benefits:

     

    Intelligent Eye – A sensor that can sense human presence allowing for direct airflow to you or away from you for draft free comfort. Intelligent Eye can also sense if the room has been unoccupied for 20 minutes when the system automatically goes into an energy efficient mode.

     

    Comfort Mode – A draft free option, where you can point the direction of the heat to the floor. Allowing it to warm the air in your room instead of your ceiling.

     

    Powerful Mode – Take the chill out of your home fast with the ‘Powerful Mode’. Turn it on and it will maximise the power for 20 minutes, then automatically returning to original settings.

     

    iZone 325 Controller * – With Wi-Fi and 4G, you can control your system from anywhere. So when you’re on your way home from a cold and rainy day at the footy field, you can turn on your system on from you smart phone and come home to a warm comfortable home.

     

    Daikin has done the work for you, the research team has compared the running costs of a split system vs a flued gas heating system. Comparing identical heating running times for both options, then calculating the running costs. 

    Gas Flu Heater

    5 Star Room Space Heater

    Calculations:


    • Output of Gas Heater = 6 kW (21.6 MJ)
    • Output over 500 hours = 10,800 MJ
    • Gas Consumption over 500 hours = 12,706 MJ
    • Gas cost = 1.667 cent MJ
    • Additional electricity costs (i.e fan and control electronics) = $7.18
    • Total Gas cost = $211.78
    • Total cost of gas heating = $218.96

    Split System

    Model: Cora FTXM50Q / RXM50Q

    Calculations:


    • Output of Air Conditioner = 6 kW
    • Output over 500 hours = 3,000 kW/h
    • Electricity consumption over 500 hours = 665 kW/h
    • Electricity cost = 23.947 c kW/h
    • Additional energy electricity costs= $0
    • Total electricity cost = $159.25
    • Total cost of electric heating = $159.25


     

    • Electricity and gas tariffs based on Melbourne residential winter offers at 1 April 2016.
    • Energy conversion, 1 kW = 3.6 MJ
    • Gas consumption based on High Efficiency 5 Star Room Space Heater (85% conversion efficiency of gas to heat)
    • Gas heater electricity consumption = 0.06 kW/h

     


    There’s no question who’s the winner, with the heating cost of Daikin Split System up to 1/3 less the cost of heating with a gas heater! So the real question is… when are you going to start saving money? Our consultants will help you to find the best system for your home, so stop wasting your money and fill our FREE quote!

    What to consider when installing an air conditioner

    Choosing the right air conditioning system

    Every Perth home is different and we have different needs when it comes to choosing the right air conditioning system for our homes. When making the choice to install air conditioning and when you do, you need to take in some considerations, so we’ve made a list of factors we feel are important:

     

    1. Location

    Australia has some of the highest temperatures in the world and surprisingly it can reach some very low temperatures. In Perth, you can be beachside, in the hills, North of the river, or South of the river and each location reaches different temperature extremes in hot and cold. If you find your location is hot and humid, you might find you only want cooling. Where as if you were located in an area that where the air is cool and dry you would want to install a reverse cycle system.

     

    At Supacool we can provide a system to suit any needs. We specialise in Daikin systems advance technology that helps to absorbs heat inside and dissipates it outside, doing the reverse when your looking to warm your home.

     

    2. Type of System

    With a selection of options, Supacool is confident we will find you the best air conditioning system for your home.

     

    Daikin Split System Air Conditioning

    Split system air conditioning is perfect for those who only need air conditioning in one room or a specific area. Choose from two attractive Daikin systems: Cora or Zena which cool only or are reverse cycle.

    Zena Split System

    With a remarkable blend of iconic design and engineering excellence, the Daikin Zena is designed to impress. Engineered in Europe, with optional Wi-Fi capability, the Daikin Zena is available in a silver finish or pure matte white finish. More Info on Zena

    Cora Split System

    Able to blend in harmoniously with modern bedrooms and living areas with its smooth contours and flat panel design in a high quality matte white finish, nothing compares to creating that ideal family sanctuary that makes you feel right at home all year round. More info on Cora

    Daikin Ducted Air Conditioning

    For the ultimate in comfort throughout your home installing a Daikin Ducted Air Conditioning is a must. It will give you all year enjoyment in your home with the latest in air conditioning technology. A ducted system is design friendly and discreet, the indoor system is hidden out of sight, in your ceiling. The air then flows through flexible ducting distributing through vents into your living space. More Info on Ducted Air Conditioning

     

     

    3. Power Size and Style

    You might think that all air conditioners are the same, but just branded differently… That’s not true there is a massive difference in the power and size of the unit. Choosing the system for your home has many factors including two majors: how big your space is and the number of rooms you want the air conditioned.

     

    Choosing the appropriate system for your home or space will mean you get the maximum efficiency. If it’s oversized you will be wasting energy (and money) and if it’s too small the usage will put strain on the unit and you will lose efficiency and the life of the product will wear out sooner.

     

    Using the information below, our specialised consultants will be able to help you consider some important factors when choosing your system.

     

    • Room Size – Large or small will decide the capacity size and power you will need.
    • Insulation – Insulated spaces will require a lower air conditioning capacity.
    • Window Size and Glass Insulation – Having larger windows with minimum insulation factor (double glazed) will require a higher capacity unit. Smaller windows may result in a lower capacity unit.
    • Environmental Aspect – A room facing east or west may need a different capacity air conditioner than a room facing north.
    • Climate – Homes built near the coast will need a different capacity unit from a house built in the hills.

    4. Interior Design

    Among all the factors you need to take into consideration is design and functionality in your space. When choosing a system you need to look at your home and ask will it match our decor or style? Ask yourself these questions:

     

    Is having a split system going to impact the style of your room?

    Would you prefer to have discreet vents in the ceiling that won’t compromise the decor?

     

    Our specialist consultants will design you a customise a plan that will best suit your home’s interior design.

     

    5. Energy Efficiency

    The best and easiest way to tell if your appliance is energy efficient is through the energy star rating, a government initiative to help for you to make an informed decision. Daikin Split System Air Conditioners are the most energy efficient systems you can buy with the US7 being a 7 star rating!

     

    Not only are Daikin Systems highly rated, but they also have excellent features like the Split System ‘Intelligent Eye’ feature which will reset to the most energy efficient temperature if the room has been unoccupied for 20 minutes.

     

    All Daikin Daikin air conditioners exceed the MEPS (Minimum Energy Performance Standards). Which means you can enjoy your home comfortable all year long without worrying about inflated power bills!

     

    6. Air Quality

    Family members with asthma, hay fever or allergies can now relax with Daikin. All Daikin split system air conditioners are approved by the National Asthma Council Australia’s Sensitive Choice program. In fact they are the only Split Systems in Australia that carry its blue butterfly symbol.

     

    7. Upgrade to iZone 325 Controller

    This is where it gets fun…

     

    Whilst your air conditioner does come with a standard controller we recommend the iZone 325 Controller upgrade.

     

    With iZone 325 touch screen controller you have total temperature control of each room in your home. Heating and cooling in your home is effortless with adjustable air distribution, flexible temperature, modifiable airflow to each room. You can even stop the airflow to certain rooms for maximum efficiency and savings.

     

    Being discreet, stylish and luxurious you will enjoy having a touch screen in you home.

    As you can see choosing the right Air Conditioning Unit is very important! We have experienced consultants who can assist you with your decision along with creating a unique plan for the installation of your new system! Call today for a quote 9434 9496 or you can fill out our FREE QUOTE.
