Browse Forums Building A New House Re: How much power for Air-con is enough? 2Feb 05, 2013 6:15 am We've got a 17kw aircon in a single story house, 9 outlets and 3 zones. There is a main zone which has to operate all the time which covers around 16 squares. The extra zones are a single room at the front (which is turned off as we don't use it for much) and the minor bedroom area where our 21 year old is. Our aircon copes fine with the main zone and minor bedroom zone on. It's the maximum size that we can have with single phase power and having our time again, we would have pushed to have 3 phase power put on. Builder wasn't keen for some reason and talked us out of it.

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 5944 Hi all, sorting out the ducted air con for a 350sqm double story house.
