Ducted Air Conditioning Sunshine Coast
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.

4 Reasons to Install Air Conditioning in Winter
In this blog, the team at Power Trip Services share four (4) reasons to buy and install air conditioning in Winter. If you’re considering investing in a quality air conditioning system or upgrading, you might be surprised to learn that the coolest months are often a great time to purchase and install a split system or ducted system! 4 Reasons to Install Air Conditioning in Winter Avoid the busy season As the weather heats up, air conditioning moves up the priority list and demand increases with more people rushing to purchase and install a new air conditioning system, but during winter it tends to be much quieter. This means you’ll usually experience shorter lead times and installers tend to have greater availability and flexibility in the colder months to book in the job when it suits you. 2. Manufacturer deals and specials Prices tend to plummet along with the temperatures, so you can often bag a great deal on an air conditioner during winter. It’s also the end of the financial year so you might be able to take advantage of EOFY sales too! To snap up the best air conditioner specials through Power Trip on offer right now, click here. 3. Take advantage of Reverse Cycle Air Conditioning If you opt for a reverse cycle air conditioner, you’ll be able to keep your home comfortable year-round with the one system, as it can heat your home when it’s cold and cool it down on sweltering days. 4. Energy efficient way to warm your house Reverse cycle air conditioning is typically more energy efficient and easier on your hip pocket than most other types of heaters. Canstar Blue calculated the running costs of a number of appliances over winter and found that the reverse cycle air conditioner they tested was less expensive to run compared to a tower heater or radiant bar heater.

How Do I Make My Air Conditioner More Efficient?
If you’ve ever wondered, how do I make my air conditioner more efficient, the team at Power Trip Services has got you covered with some useful tips. We understand some people need their air conducting running throughout Summer or Winter just to get by. If that sounds like you, then making sure it’s operating well is really important so it lasts longer and ultimately, saves you money on your power bill. In this blog we run through our top hints to keep it running smoothly, which include: Ensuring your outdoor unit is clean Sticking to the optimum operating temperature Have regular services carried out Keep reading to learn more about these tips or call the team at Power Trip Services to book in a service of your unit today. 3 Ways to Keep Your Air Conditioner Running Efficiently 1. Ensure the outdoor unit is clean: If your outdoor unit is near long grass, or in a dusty spot, you might need to pay it some more attention. Why? Your air conditioning unit will work better if you keep your outdoor unit clear from grass and dirt. Also, it’s important to keep the outdoor coil clean to help the unit breathe. 2. Stick to the optimum operating temperature: The optimum operating temperature for an air conditioning unit is typically 22-24 degrees. Depending on the season, we understand how tempting it can be to set the temperature a few degrees hotter or colder. But best to avoid this as it will be better for your air conditioner in the long run (it will last longer) – and your bank balance! By setting the temperature outside of the optimum range, your system will be working harder to keep the area cooler or warmer – meaning the unit need replacing sooner and you’ll be paying more on your power bill. 3. Regular servicing: We recommend having your air conditioning unit serviced (both ducted and split systems) at least once a year to keep the unit running efficiently. A service can help to keep the coil clean, therefore letting the unit breathe and work as it is intended to. It also assists to keep the condensate drain clean from debris, which in turn lets the condensate run freely through the drain. Maintaining these parts of your unit, helps to ensure your air quality is clean and fresh. Learn more about our air conditioning servicing options here. How Often Should I Have My Air Conditioner Serviced? Services should be carried out at least once a year for both ducted and split system units, and a major service should be done every 2 years. EXPERT TIP: Do you live with your air con running all the time? Or is your property in a particularly dusty or dirty area? Then it’s definitely worth having more frequent services!

How To Save 25% On Ducted Air Conditioning Running Costs
In this blog the Power Trip Services team share how you can save up to 25% on your ducted air conditioning running costs. If you’re concerned your ducted system is not running as efficiently as it could be, or your power bills are on the rise without reason – this one is for you! Did you know heating and cooling your home can account for up to 40 per cent of your annual energy costs? And when your ducted system is on the way out those running costs are likely to blow out – meaning you could be hit with costly repairs, or unusually high energy bills. Not to mention, a deteriorating ducted system will be impacting the comfort levels in your home too, with excessive noise and uneven heating and cooling common signs of demise. Below we explain how upgrading your old ducted system could save you money. Ducted Air Conditioning Running Cost The R&D team from Daikin compared the average running costs of an old ducted system, which was released in 2000, to its current premium inverter system. They had both systems running for identical periods of time and calculated the operating expense of each. What they found was that replacing an old Daikin system with a new premium inverter system could save homeowners a staggering 25 per cent on running costs. A significant improvement in energy efficiency and expenses can be linked to changes which have been possible thanks to advancements in technology. Without getting too technical, here’s some of the notable changes and what they mean for you: Inverter Technology – allows the desired temperature to be reached faster. It also helps to maintain the home’s temperature. Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) Control – this measures indoor and outdoor temperatures to calculate an ideal room temp. The control then adjusts temperature to the optimum balance which boosts efficiency and comfort. Temperature Limit Operations – this reduces energy consumption because it allows you to predetermine the temperature range for both heating and cooling. Daikin Ducted Air Conditioning Cost Comparison: Old Vs New Source: Daikin Replacing Ducted Air Conditioning Unit Don’t want to give up on your trusted old air conditioner? Or think if it’s not broken, there’s no need to fix it? A quality ducted system that’s been well maintained should last for between 15 and 20 years, but eventually will need to be replaced – especially if you want to reduce those operating costs. The qualified air conditioning team at Power Trip Services understand that replacement can be costly but keeping a dying system in place may ultimately lead to more expenses and repairs. Our air conditioning experts stand by our workmanship and the products we install and offer a 5-year manufacturer’s warranty as well as a 5-year warranty on labour and workmanship.

How to Save 46% On Split System Running Costs
Want to save up to 46% on your split system running costs? In this latest blog, Power Trip Services share the findings from a Daikin study comparing an old split system with a new model to prove just how much you can save! Split System Air Conditioner Running Costs Air conditioning your home can make up a huge chunk of your yearly energy costs (up to 40%). But Daikin’s R&D team have run the numbers – comparing the average running costs of one of its old split system models (FTY35F/RY35F) to a current model (FTXM35Q/RXM35Q CORA). They ran each system for the same amount of time, and what they found was that people who replaced their old system with a current model could save up to 46 per cent on operating expenses. These massive savings are thanks in part to technology advancements and how they’ve been able to improve energy efficiency. Some features include: Standby power function: This function turns the indoor unit to standby mode and switches the outdoor unit’s power supply off when the air conditioner is not in use. Inverter technology: This technology allows the desired temperature to be reached faster. It also helps to maintain a comfortable temperature. Eco mode: If numerous electrical devices are in use at the same time, this mode helps to reduce the air conditioner’s power consumption and consequently decreases the load on the electrical circuit. Intelligent Eye: Some models have an infrared sensor that detects human movement. When there has been no activity in the room for more than 20 minutes, the system will automatically switch to energy saving operation. Reluctance DC Motor: Powerful neodymium magnets that are 10 times stronger than conventional ferrite magnets are used in the motor, which can boost efficiency. Learn more about it here. Split System Cost Comparison: Old vs New Source: Daikin. Replacing Split System Air Conditioning Typically, a reliable split system unit should keep your home or business at a comfortable temperature for around 10-12 years. 4 signs it could be time to replace your split system: Uneven heating and cooling Excessive Noise Expensive Repairs Unusually high energy costs Are you experiencing any of the above issues?

Ducted Vs Split Systems Air Conditioning
If you’re seeking year-round comfort in our Queensland climate and wondering whether a ducted air conditioning or split system will be best for your property, this article is for you! Some of the biggest factors are roof space and house layout, but there’s plenty to consider when making a decision about air conditioning. In this blog, the air conditioning experts from Power Trip Services in North Brisbane answer all your questions, including: What is ducted air conditioning? What is split system air conditioning? What are main differences between the two? (And considerations to keep in mind) What Is Ducted Air Conditioning? Ducted air conditioning systems have a central fan coil unit installed in the roof space. From that unit there are numerous ducts in the ceiling cavity which move treated air into each room. Standard ducted systems reach the entire house from a central control – allowing widespread heating or cooling, typically zoned into individual rooms or areas. One of the biggest advantages of ducted air conditioning is that it tends to look better. There’s no cumbersome wall mounted indoor units required, rather a discrete vent in the ceiling or wall. For every ducted system, an outdoor unit will also need to be installed. What Is Split System Air Conditioning? Split systems typically cool or heat the area or room just where the indoor unit is located and will struggle to cool or heat other parts of the property. Split system air conditioning consists of two main parts – a unit mounted indoors (in each room) and a unit located outdoors. The evaporator device is housed in the indoor unit. The compressor and condenser components are contained in the outdoor unit. Piping, rather than ducts, connect the two units. Main Differences between Ducted and Split Systems 1. Air Conditioning Installation While ducted systems tend to be more complicated – and require careful consideration to design the best configuration to suit your needs – the end result is much slicker and gives homeowners greater flexibility with smart home integration options. Here at Power Trip Services, ducted air conditioning is our speciality and unlike many others on Brisbane’s northside, we design your ducted system in-house to ensure you get the best system setup and help keep running costs as low as possible. Click here to find out more about tailoring a ducted system to suit your home. In comparison, the installation process for most split systems is more straightforward. While split systems also have a reputation for being cheaper overall this will depend on the property and your heating/cooling needs. Power Trip Services offer several configuration options when it comes to split systems and will help you choose the best brand, size and mounting option depending on your budget and room. Learn more or request a quote here. 2. Air Conditioning Servicing Regular maintenance is vital for both ducted air conditioning and split systems. We recommend at least one (1) service each year regardless of which type of air conditioner you have. People who live in areas which are particular dusty or near the ocean should consider having a service more frequently. 3. Air Conditioning Performance Ducted systems are effective at both covering large areas and heating or cooling specific zones. Split systems are good at heating or cooling small spaces/rooms, but you can opt for larger units which are more powerful for those bigger open plan living spaces. 4. Air Conditioning Appearance Inside the home, ducted air conditioning appears less obtrusive with outlets being placed on the ceiling (out of eyeline). They’re also typically quite small. Whereas split system units indoors are more obvious due to their size and shape. Both types of air conditioning have units which are located outdoors. 5. Air Conditioning Cost Ducted systems tend to be more expensive to install, but costs can add quickly for those who choose split systems if you intend to install multiple units. Many of our clients are actually surprised to learn that ducted is often not that much more expensive. This is why we always recommend reaching out to our friendly team who will discuss your individual needs and weigh up the best option with you. 6. Air Conditioning Noise Generally speaking, ducted units tend to be quieter than split systems. Although advancements in technology mean there are fewer issues with air conditioning noise.
