What is Underfloor Ducted Air Conditioning & When is it Needed?
What is Underfloor Ducted Air Conditioning, and When is it Needed? Underfloor ducted air conditioning is a system installed beneath a raised floor and distributes air to each room using a series of ducts and vents. Most people will be familiar with ducted air conditioning systems installed in a ceiling or roof space; however, there are circumstances when this kind of installation is not possible. In buildings with limited ceiling space, exposed ceilings, and difficult access or hazardous materials, an underfloor ducted air conditioning system may be the solution. 150-Year-Old Building Not Suitable for Split System Air Conditioners Recently, we were asked to quote on 3 x 8 kW split system air conditioners in a lovely old church in Maleny. The building is over 150 years old, and its age presented some obstacles that ruled out a split system installation. Upon visiting the church, we discovered that: The building had asbestos in the walls and ceilings The asbestos had recently been sealed (at the cost of over $20k) The building was on stilts and had hardwood floors. Because of the hazardous nature of asbestos and the requirement that it is sealed for the safety of the occupants, we would have been unable to cut into the church walls to install the split systems originally requested. things To Consider When Installing an Underfloor Ducted Air Conditioning System Fortunately, the Power Trip team had the perfect alternative and set about designing an underfloor ducted system that would overcome all of the obstacles we faced. Because Power Trip designs all of its ducted systems in-house, we can fully customise them to each build and make changes when obstacles arise. The team considered several things when designing the custom duct system for the church. These things allowed us to map the heating and cooling loads accurately. Once these loads have been correctly mapped, we can create a system that is both effective and energy-efficient to run. The things we took into consideration were: The number of windows in the church The direction of the sun The location of the windows An average of 40-50 people attending each service The height that the building is from the ground Heat loss from under the building The materials the building is constructed of. The Benefits of an Underfloor System In this instance, an underfloor ducted air conditioning system would overcome the construction obstacles that we had identified. However, this kind of system also provides several other benefits to the occupants of a building, such as: Vents are on the floor, so cool air is pumped directly into the room. Because hot air rises, this makes for a more energy-efficient airflow. Vents are powder coated and can be colour matched to blend with the home’s aesthetic and each room if required. Underfloor ducts are solid in construction and don’t require any other sealing or protection against the elements. Reverse cycle heating and cooling , so the climate is controlled all year round. When To Choose an Underfloor System You may choose underfloor ducted air conditioning if the building has difficult ceiling access or is built on stilts or raised. Also, suppose the building has dangerous materials in its construction or special architectural features such as exposed beams. In that case, an underfloor ducted air conditioning system may be the best option for you. Power Trip Services will be able to assess your situation and provide recommendations and a design that is tailored to your requirements perfectly.

Best Ducted Air Conditioning for Granny Flats
Best Ducted Air Conditioning for Granny Flats Choosing the best ducted air conditioning for your granny flat may seem like an overwhelming task. If you’re new to air conditioning, you may be somewhat confused with many options. One of the biggest misconceptions out there is that ducted air conditioning is only for larger properties such as houses. So, you may be surprised to learn that ducted air conditioning can come in as little as a 2.5kw system (the same size as a small split system). Today, we discuss why this kind of system could be the best option for your granny flat. What is Ducted Air Conditioning? Ducted air conditioning is different from traditional systems as it uses a single fan to deliver cool air to multiple rooms at once. A series of pipes or ducts are installed within the ceiling (or sometimes underneath the house depending on the style of home), and the compressor/condenser unit that pumps the air is located outside the building. Each room has a vent to allow the air to flow into the room. Features & Benefits Ducted air conditioning provides a discrete option for cooling rooms and allows each room to be individually climate controlled via a feature called “zoning”. Additional benefits include: Offering more comfort to people in the room as the airflow is less direct and more even throughout the room Quieter operation than split systems as the fan is located outside Increased energy efficiency due to varying energy rated units and the need for only a single unit in a home Easily added to home automation systems for full control and maximum energy efficacy Can be used for efficient heating with a reverse air system installed. Why is Ducted the Best Option for my Granny Flat? Although most people would initially plan to climate control their granny flat using multiple split system units, there is a better alternative. Something that is not a commonly known fact is that the floor plan of granny flats is almost always split into two areas – daytime and night-time. The kitchen and living areas are adjacent to each other, and the layout of the bedrooms is the same. This two-zone design perfectly supports the functionality of a single ducted air conditioning system with dual-zone controls. A recent system that we installed suited this perfectly, and you can see the concept demonstrated here in this 6kw ducted system. There is a common misconception that ducted air conditioning units are only suited to larger premises, but we can provide systems beginning at 2.5kw. Because your granny flat will be zoned, it allows you to install a smaller unit as not all zones need to be running simultaneously. Due to the daytime/night-time floorplan, it is possible to run each zone at different times of the day and keep the room at optimum temperature for the occupants. Zones for Individual Comfort Levels Additionally, the multiple zones allow occupants to set temperatures that suit their individual comfort levels. If you’re a person that prefers to sleep in a cooler room whilst your partner enjoys the comfort of a warm lounge to watch their favourite television show in, a multi-zoned ducted air conditioner might be the perfect solution for you. Ducted air conditioning is a great choice for all residential premises, including granny flats and even townhouses and apartments. Here at Power Trip, we specialise in projects that are a little more tricky to plan, and we also design all of our ducted installations in-house, meaning you get the most effective option based on how you intend to use your air conditioning.

We are leaders in our profession in North Brisbane because we use our resourcefulness and ingenuity to deliver high-quality and affordable solutions every time.

6 Things You Didn’t Know About Ducted Air Conditioner (But Wish You Did!)
Ducted Air Conditioners – you may be surprised! There is no doubting that a ducted air conditioner is a big-ticket item. It pays to do your research to ensure that you choose the most appropriate system for your home, budget, and lifestyle. A common perception is that a ducted air conditioner is a premium product with a hefty price tag and not achievable with the family budget. But this is not necessarily true, and you may be surprised to learn just how many positive benefits a ducted air conditioner can provide – and how affordable they really are! Let’s get to work debunking the myths around ducted air conditioning and help you decide for yourself if it is the right choice for you. Here are six things that might surprise you to learn about ducted air conditioning: 1. Ducted air conditioning can often be cheaper to install and to run than multiple split systems. Our article comparing ducted air conditioning vs split systems identified that ducted systems could actually be a more economical choice! In a nutshell, a well-planned ducted system requires only a single installation process and a single central unit to run (hidden in the ceiling cavity). Conversely, you need a split system to be installed in every room you wish to heat and cool, which can become very costly. The cost of cutting into walls to mount internal components and link to exterior units grows rapidly if you end up needing 6 or 7 separate units in your home. 2. Underfloor ducted air conditioning is a thing! Did you know that you can install your air conditioning UNDER your floors? How clever is that?! There are many benefits to this type of installation, and best of all, it can overcome the obstacles faced with the construction of some homes that prevent other types of installations. In buildings containing hazardous materials and those with restricted access due to age, underfloor ducted air conditioning can be the perfect solution. Recently, we had the privilege of working on an amazing church that is over 150 years old. Due to it being raised on stilts and having sealed asbestos walls, underfloor ducted air conditioning was the only way to go. 3. Ducted systems can be the perfect solution for smaller buildings too. Many people assume that this type of air conditioner is only suited to larger spaces. In actual fact, the zone control functionality of ducted air conditioners makes it perfect for smaller buildings such as granny flats too. It is often assumed that the main unit on a ducted system is bigger and bulkier than that on a split system. However, ducted air conditioning systems can be as small as 2.5kw. This is the same size as the smallest available split system. By choosing an air conditioner that selectively heats or cools certain parts of the home at tap of a button, controlling the comfort of your home becomes even more economical too. 4. Ducted air conditioning can be installed in just about every type of property. You may be surprised to learn that ducted air conditioners can be installed in most properties, including two-storey homes and townhouses. This is something that Power Trip Services specialise in, and if you’ve been told that you cannot install ducted in your property, speak to us! Sometimes homes built in tight or difficult sites do not have the space or accessibility needed for a split system. In these circumstances, ducted air conditioning can be the only suitable option because the main unit is mounted within the roof cavity or underfloor. 5. They can cool AND heat your home. Here at Power Trip Services, we wish to maximise the comfort in your home and ensure that your dollar stretches further. As such, we choose to only work with reverse cycle air conditioning systems for all of the installations that we complete. Reverse cycle air conditioning is a great option that allows you to heat and cool your home with a single system. Good-bye, unsafe bar heaters that can tip over and burn little fingers! 6. They can be much cheaper to run. Because a ducted air conditioner selectively heats or cools the areas (or zones) in your home that are being used, they can be much more energy-efficient and, therefore, cheaper to run. As well as the zoning features, your system can be set up to only operate during certain temperatures and switch off when the desired temperature has been reached. This not only eases the wear and tear on your system but also prevents excess electricity chargers. Furthermore, by maintaining a constant, gentle airflow throughout your home, a well-designed ducted system will avoid hot and cold spots and the pitfalls of requiring extra electricity to accommodate them. Power Trip is your Ducted Air Conditioner Specialists Power Trip Services specialises in custom ducted air conditioning installations, and the best part is that we design them all in-house! We don’t outsource this part. This means that we can make the best decisions about size of system, zones and number of vents to adapt to all kinds of buildings and budgets.

Can I Install a Ducted Air Conditioning Unit In My Townhouse?
Can I Install Ducted Air Conditioning Unit in My Townhouse? Ducted air conditioning units in a townhouse may seem like an impossible option. However, you will be relieved to learn that it is completely doable and often the best choice. Read on to learn about the benefits of choosing a ducted air conditioning unit for your townhouse or multi-storey home. How Does a Ducted Air Conditioning Unit Work? Via ducts installed in the ceiling, cool (or warm) air is pumped into each room. Ducts (or pipes) installed in the ceiling funnel air from a compressor/condenser unit located outside your building. There is also a central unit that is housed in the ceiling. This installation requires adequate roof space to allow the ducts, generally between 200mm and 400mm in diameter, to be installed. Our clients don’t need to get too concerned about what space you do – or don’t – have available for ducting here at Power Trip. We specialise in complex jobs, and our qualified air conditioning team will take the hard work out of deciding what air conditioner set-up will work best – and ultimately be the most cost-effective – for your townhouse. Benefits of Ducted Air Conditioners Ducted air conditioning units provide a discrete and aesthetically pleasing option for cooling (and warming) residences. A feature called “zoning” also allows rooms to have their temperatures controlled individually, allowing comfort for all occupants. Although they might appear at face value to be a more expensive option, you may be surprised to learn just how the costs compare. Ducted air conditioners can also be advantageous in the following ways: As the fan is located outside of the building, they can be a lot quieter in their operation Lower energy bills due to increased energy efficiency Less intrusive Health benefits due to air filtration system A centrally controlled thermostat allows maximum even temperature control through the home and maximum sustainability and energy efficiency. It can be used for efficient heating too – with a reverse air system installed Multiple zones allow for upstairs and downstairs areas to be controlled separately. Increase the value of your home. Is My Townhouse Suitable for a Ducted Air Conditioning Unit? Due to the multi-storey design of a townhouse, several factors need to be considered to assess suitability for a ducted air conditioning unit. Whether your home is a new build or an existing two-storey townhouse, there are always options available to you, and the Power Trip team are always happy to discuss what configuration might be best for your property. Existing Townhouses When we first assess the suitability of a ducted air conditioner for your existing townhouse, we may ask you some of the following questions: Is there a ceiling and roof cavity on the top floor of your home for us to mount the central unit? Is there access for droppers (vents) to reach downstairs rooms to provide their airflow? Are there existing bulkheads or cupboards that can provide space for ducts to run? Although some limitations may apply when planning dropper installation to your existing home and the need to work around lower ceiling plastering. The good news is Power Trip specialises in providing and designing custom options in situations that may seem impossible to others. Kerry designs all of our ducted air conditioning layouts in-house, ensuring the best result every time. Where others might opt for the easy route or tell you the job is impossible, Kerry will ensure that every option is explored! New Townhouses Fortunately, your ducted air conditioning unit can be included in the planning stages if you are designing a new build. Although special considerations will still need to be made to allow the central unit, ducts, vents and droppers to be installed on both levels, modifications can be made in the design before breaking ground. This will ensure that your new home is well prepared and suitable for your cooling system and provides maximum energy and economic benefits. If you have a multi-level townhouse or home, ducted air conditioning can be a great choice. It doesn’t need to be complicated or overwhelming, and with the team’s assistance at Power Trip, no detail will be overlooked. Your home will be a perfect temperature all year round and will look great too. You can learn more about our ducted air conditioning installation process here.

6 Reasons To Choose Ducted Air Conditioning vs Split System
Why Choose Ducted Air Conditioning vs Split System? Ducted air conditioning vs split system – recently, we shared with you the differences between ducted air conditioning systems and split systems in this blog post. In a nutshell, a ducted air conditioning system distributes heated or cooled air through a building via a series of ducts and vents from one central unit. In contrast, a split system configuration uses separate units for each room. Each of these units has two main parts – an internally mounted unit that pumps the air into the room and a bigger unit that is outside and contains the compressor and condenser components. Today, we delve a little deeper and discuss reasons and circumstances when a ducted air conditioning system would be the best option to choose. We have identified six reasons for choosing a ducted air conditioner over a split system. They are: A ducted system can be cheaper to install. Depending on the building, a ducted system may be your only available option. A ducted system can be more effective and cheaper to run than a split system. A ducted system can be easier to maintain and service. Ducted air conditioning looks better. A ducted system can greatly increase the value of your home. Let’s look at each reason in more detail. A Ducted System Can Actually Be Cheaper To Install. People often discover initially that installing a ducted air conditioning system is more expensive than a split system. However, when comprehensive planning and research is done, they can be surprised to find the costs are much more similar than they first thought. Although a single split system unit is a much cheaper choice than a ducted one, multiple units would be required to cool or heat an entire home effectively. Depending on the floorplan of the building, the need to install 7 or 8 separate units is not uncommon. If we consider the number of home alterations and the cost of each unit, where 7 or 8 units are needed, the price begins to accumulate very quickly. Additionally, because Power Trip Services designs your ducted system in-house and tailors it to your individual requirements, you may find that a ducted system is more economical, even from the outset. Depending on the Building, a Ducted System May Be The Only Option. The construction of a building, and often its age, can determine the best system to use. For instance, when hazardous materials were used in the construction of the building, a split system may not be suitable due to the required invasive alterations. A ducted air conditioning system is best when: Large areas need to be heated or cooled Heating and cooling are required to be “zoned” between living and sleeping areas that may (or may not) be in use at different times of the day You would prefer to avoid hot or cold spots in your home with evenly distributed airflow Your floorplan would benefit from a centrally controlled system The location and construction of your home would not allow multiple external units to be installed You have generous roof space and/or easy underfloor access There are hazardous materials such as asbestos in your home’s ceilings or walls A Ducted System Can Be More Effective and Cheaper To Run Than A Split System. When comparing air conditioning systems’ effectiveness and energy efficiency, a ducted system will usually come out on top. This is because the unit maintains a consistent temperature in each room and can be zoned to only cool or heat areas used throughout the day. The zoning control offered with ducted air conditioning units means that occupants can set a schedule and timers for operation. The system switches on and off at optimum times of the day, with a set and forget configuration. By automatically turning the system off in rooms that are not being used, or when it reaches the perfect temperature, less energy is consumed. This means lower electricity bills and a more environmentally friendly system. Additionally, new technologies, such as inverter systems, can greatly increase efficiency and reduce running costs. If you would like to read some more handy tips to make your air conditioner run more efficiently, you can do so here. Maintenance and Servicing – Ducted Air Conditioning Vs Split System. All air conditioners need regular servicing and maintenance to function optimally. Performance can be significantly affected if filters become blocked and motors become worn or seized. However, because a ducted air conditioning system can be configured to turn off when not required, this type of unit can experience less wear and tear than a split system that is run constantly. And because there is only one central unit to maintain, the likelihood of breakdowns is reduced. Another fact that is not well known is that the cost of a pc board for a ducted system is actually the same as one for a split system. Although both systems require different maintenance schedules, Power Trip Services specialises in providing maintenance, servicing and repairs for ducted and split system air conditioners. Ducted Air Conditioning Looks Better. One of the biggest advantages of a ducted air conditioning system is the way it can seamlessly blend into the design of your home. Vents are installed into your ceiling or your floor to deliver unobtrusive airflow. Vents can also be powder coated to match the aesthetics of your home, providing an even more pleasing appearance. In contrast, split systems require bulky units mounted to the wall and visible both internally and externally. They are difficult to cover and can be intrusive to the liveability that a space offers. You may also be restricted in the placement of furniture and objects due to the location of the wall-mounted unit. Ducted Air Conditioning Increases the Value of Your Home. Adding a ducted system to your home can add to the asking price if you decide to sell your home. This is due to the convenience and year-round comfort that comes with it and the
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.

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 Much Does an Air Conditioning Unit Service Cost? The cost of having your ducted air conditioning unit and split system unit serviced by an experienced technician at Power Trip Services is outlined below: Annual Service $165 Standard Chemical Service $165 Major Service $250 Diagnosis $165 *The above pricing includes GST.
