Are you hoping to add ducted air conditioning to your Sunshine Coast home or business?
It doesn’t matter if your property lies above or below the Maroochy River – the air conditioning experts at Power Trip Services can tailor a design for your property to ensure you can enjoy year-round comfort.
Many of our clients in seaside suburbs in the Sunshine Coast – and even on Brisbane’s northside – tend to use their ducted air con systems more for heating in Winter as they prefer the natural sea breeze in the afternoons during other seasons. That means when we design systems for coastal homeowners, we often have heating top of mind.
Plus, we also understand the how living at or near the beach can take a toll on your air conditioning unit. That’s why we include a range of measures to help combat rust as you’ll see in this blog.
Ducted Air Conditioning Caloundra
Recently, we retrofitted a ducted system in a Caloundra townhouse.
The homeowner wanted to add a basic system to increase comfort inside the four-bedroom, two-storey property – especially on days when there was little or no sea breeze.
We installed a Daikin FDYAN71 and allocated 5 temperature-controlled zones within the property.
When deciding which system would heat and cool the space most efficiently, we had to keep the following things in mind:
- Flat roof therefore lack of space in the roof cavity
- Stainless steel fittings
- Need for long pipe run
- Body corporate regulations
- Where dropper locations were
- Where we could access the ducts to downstairs, and
- Circuit availability
Ducted Aircon Sunshine Coast: Tips for Homeowners
For those that live in coastal communities, it pays to be aware of rust and take preventative steps to prevent and reduce any rust build-up.
Here are four (4) tips for coastal homeowners:
- We recommend and install “Rust Be Gone” which is a sacrificial anode that mounts to the pipe work. It uses the static in the pipe work to create an electro static rust inhibitor.
- When servicing ducted air con systems, we can apply a coil coat to the coil on the condenser to prevent corrosion.
- Regular upkeep in the way of washing the system down with fresh water, and a wash and wax car wash is recommended.
- Spraying the compressor with lanolin oil can help to keep components rust free.
