Browse Forums Heating, Cooling & Insulation 1 Aug 30, 2016 8:40 am I've got a problem with the aircon in my place. The condenser is outside (of course) and it is zoned inside. I didn't really know about it until someone slept in the second bedroom. When it turns on the condenser makes quite a bit of noise and also a "rattle" develops until it starts to really go. Then it seems to smooth out. But the initial rattle/hum is annoying. I can't remember it in previous aircons I have had. I found out that the unit should have been standing on "plastic legs" and got this done which helped with the problem a little. I've emailed Daikin who have not bothered to answer. Does anyone have a solution ? I feel it might just be a vibration type problem and thought of rubber mats etc. Re: Air Con - Excessive Noise at Start-up (Daikin) 2Aug 30, 2016 8:41 am I might add - the system heats and cools OK.

Re: Air Con - Excessive Noise at Start-up (Daikin) 9Sep 05, 2016 8:32 pm Sorry about that, I didn't realise I needed to reply and offer a solution by a deadline... Unfortunately I don't get to pop on the forum nightly as I have young kids so sometimes they take up alot of my time. If you need a reply sooner feel free to PM next time.

How do you remove one of these ceiling air con vents? And is it possible to disconnect the duct joined to the vent from inside the house, without going into the roof cavity? 0 5900 Hi all, sorting out the ducted air con for a 350sqm double story house.
