More expensive but highly flexible. One large compressor feeds refrigerant to separate individually controlled AC split system units in the house. This would be also be more efficient because each room has its own return air vent so you can achieve better containment of air flow. That's why Daikin multi splits are specified by consultants as standard for nursing homes (high wall and cassettes are self contained - ie no ducting required), but they are beyond the reach and overkill for home owners. They're great for tiny self contained units, eg nursing homes / retirement hostels. http://www.daikin.com.au/products.asp?sid=7 Mech Eng Re: Things to know BEFORE getting a quote for AC? 14Mar 05, 2010 5:25 am Adam.R That's why Daikin multi splits are specified by consultants as standard for nursing homes (high wall and cassettes are self contained - ie no ducting required), but they are beyond the reach and overkill for home owners.

It's that string thing... depends how many fancoils and the type, etc... Examples... 14 heads in Woolwich was $115k... 5 heads in Northbridge is only $35k... controls and home automation integration can add lots more... Re: Things to know BEFORE getting a quote for AC? 19Mar 18, 2010 8:45 pm this may be a silly question, but I'm curious how can the ducted AC work to correct temperature if there's only 1-2 temp sensors in a big 8-zone systems ? Surely there must be cases where the rooms/zones they are in are not turned on ? Re: Things to know BEFORE getting a quote for AC? 20Mar 18, 2010 9:32 pm You are right. You can only precisely control the temperature in the room which contains a sensor. The Actron Brochure makes this clear. Zoning is also not as precise as you would imagine either. The conditioned area also includes any intervening area between the zoned area and the return grille. Depends what you're current inclusions are, but we're not including wardrobes and will just use second hand ones until we can save later on to get them built.
