Re: Flat Roof - Builder says we can't have ducted heating/coHeating, Cooling & Insulation

May 29, 2013 12:57 pm

With the increase in flat roof designs, this is something very familiar to us. Unfortunately the lack of cavity and in many cases the location of beams, limits where the indoor units and duct work can go. One only needs to see a roof installation to appreciate how much equipment needs to be installe...

Re: Difficulties Installing Split System on Internal Wall?Heating, Cooling & Insulation

May 29, 2013 12:39 pm

Definitely possible, considerations come down to vanity & cost. Pipes can be ran through the roof and/or in pipe duct, as can the drain. There are some great pump solutions available on todays market which can offer a lot more flexibility in installations although adds to costs. Concealing pipes...

Ducted air conditioning in Flat roofs ?Heating, Cooling & Insulation

Jun 15, 2011 1:10 pm

Flat roofs can be quite challenging for ducted installations if not at installation there is also service and maintenance to consider. In many cases it means after finish off certain parts of the system are just not accessible unless gyprock is cut or alike. Although it does come at an additional co...

Re: Economical heaters?Heating, Cooling & Insulation

May 21, 2011 8:49 pm

Gas and refrigeration are hard to compare. Efficiency varies with the load and outside ambient, higher temps gas is not generally as efficient until refrig loses its efficiency at low temps. Obviously this depends on what systems you are comparing to what. There are high efficency and economy varian...

Have they warranted their opinions on the Brivis product? 5.8 star industry leading high efficiency systems is far from 'outdated'. Pricing varies dramatically, system, outlets and zones are amongst other variants that affect price.

May 21, 2011 7:49 pm

Echoing what was said, Daikin have advised they will remain affected for most of the year. Once stock shipments recommence it will be business as usual (albeit a lengthy wait). Toshiba, inventor of the inverter and one of the only true Japanese manufacturers, has not been affected and it is business...

Re: 3-phase air con on single phase powerHeating, Cooling & Insulation

May 21, 2011 11:02 am

All 3 phase systems require 3 phase power, no alternatives. If you require a larger capacity system then 3 phase is often required. 3 phase is quite efficient however single phase inverter technology is generally more so but limited in capacity. Single phase non inverter is likely to be less efficie...
