Most of the battle in minimsing ducted reverse cycle air conditioning running costs is choosing the right system in the first place. There are a couple of things you can do with your existing system – check out steps 3 and 4. 1. Check Out The Efficiency Energy Efficiency Rating (EER) and Coefficient of Performance…
No. We believe gold ducting is a gimmick. The critical thing to determine the performance of ducting is the thermal rating of its insulation. We use R1.0 thermal rated insulted ducting. BCA require a minimum of R0.6 in Perth WA . The industry norm is R0.6.
Sunlight is converted to DC (direct current) electricity using the silicon and other chemical elements within the solar panels (PV array). The DC current runs down the electrical cabling to the inverter. The inverter transfers the current from DC to 240 volt AC (alternating current)- so that it is suitable for use in your home.…
How do you service an evaporative air conditioner? It is straight forward, as long as you are happy getting on to your roof. Remove filters & wash with a hose, If you have an old system, pull out the sump dump to release the water from the tank, If you have a new system there…
In Perth, WA the ideal position for solar hot water system panels or solar power panels is facing true north on a 30 degree pitch.
There are arguments for and against hanging ducting. We don’t hang ducting because over the life of your ducted air conditioning system there will be stress on the point where the ducting is hung. We believe this is more of a risk than the ducting getting damaged because it is lying on the ceiling joists.…
Multiple split system (or multi-head) air conditioners comprise several wall split air conditioners powered by one outdoor unit. Advantages of Multiple Split System Air Conditioning Flexibility – Individual room temperature and air flow control (as you have a split in each room). Running costs – Potentially lower running costs than many ducted reverse cycle air conditioners if…
As there are so few moving parts there is not much involved in maintaining your solar power system other than cleaning and inspecting the system. Solar Panels Cleaning Dirty panels reduce the amount of sunlight absorbed, and thus the power generated. It is advisable that you wash your solar panels at least once a year…
It is not advisable to lay solar panels directly on to a flat roof because the drop in the panels’ performance reduces the hot water generated from the sun. If you have a flat roof, mount your solar hot water system panels on a flat roof frame. In Perth, a 25 degree pitch frame is…
Unfortunately, no you cannot. Only specialist multi-head split system outdoor units, manufactured specifically for that purpose, can operate two or more split systems.
