  1. Haha good old legionnaires not many people know about it but it's scary when you think about the potential consequences of it :/
  2. Your welcome and na don't worry I'm keen to enjoy my Chrissy and New Years as well it's been one long year this year need abit of a break if I can get one as I'm sure we all do
  3. Oh yea there nothing biggest challenge was when I was apprentice learning to work on cooling towers utilising ammonia now that big haha but see at least there usually on a roof top and your not breaking your back working with those. Commercial units are put in the worst spots alot of the time and you break your back installing and servicing them as ud know lol. I like more the technical challenges not the physical ones that break my back Haha
  4. Yea were based in sydney but we do work all the way down the south coast if you'd like a quote just let me know and I'm sure we'd be able to help you out
  5. Um refrigerated ac units that are maintained correctly have no issues with recirculating chilled air it's an efficient system and in addition to this most modern ac units in newly built homes have a system in Which a percentage of fresh air can be introduced into the cooling cycle well maintained systems pose no health risks due to recirculating air. Evaporative systems have there own drawbacks which I won't go into we install and maintain both forms of systems so there's no bias here refrigerated ac is the winner everytime in my opinion but then again it's only an opinion.
  6. A home we did in castle hill a fortnight ago required a commercial unit due to being 9 bedroom home as well as living area media room etc even wanted the garage airconditioned. The owner was very concerned about the look of the unit and chose a particular brand just for the look of the exterior unit. interior outlet colours choices and styles are almost endless they suit any look or style ones after. Some choose it all during the planing stage and some wait until the builder tells them it's time for the ac to go in.
  7. You also need to consider how many zones you wish to operate at once as that will influence a few things. Zoning choices are largely dependant on the layout of your home
  8. Your welcome mate and yea your zoning is a very important aspect of the install That is if you want to zone yea the company may be suggesting Multiple units as running ducted in some parts of the house may be difficult but there's usually ways around it. Daikin is great as a brand but it's main competition is Fujitsu and they are also great units and are usually abit cheaper then the daikin can't go wrong with either my home uses Fujitsu and my parents Daikin both work excellently. I don't want to get to into it or start any debates lol but when it comes to ac bigger is always better only up to a certain point to big also becomes inefficient in its own way but that's another story. Goodluck with your build
  9. [quote name="Pixy Angel" post="1574539" timestamp Hi Cjafpv glade you jumped in. We've had a lot of issues trying to find a Air Con mob to give us quotes. They're all keen and when we send the plans we dont here from them again. We even ring them back to follow up and nothing. Where is home mate. Im in wollongong. We're after ducted throughout. any help would be great. Hey pixy getting aircon quotes this time of year can be difficult it's peak season and most reputable companies are flat chat but that's no excuse for them to not get back to you. Making thee choice to get a ducted system installed throughout your home is a great choice you'll Always be in comfort. Although it is imperative that the correct size unit is installed in order to ensure it can keep up with the heat load placed upon it on 35degree days and above and also that a reputable brand of unit is installed by a licenced and competent installer (sort of like choosing the correct parts and tuner when chasing power haha) home for me is sydney but we do work all the way down to the far south coast. If you ever need a quote or even some Advice just P.M and il be happy to help even if it's just to look at someone's quote and give you an opinion Common traps to avoid though are: * to small a unit for the homes size- many companies undersize units in order to provide you with a cheaper quote. Much better off to spend abit more on the larger unit and have it work properly. * a larger unit will actually use less power then a smaller unit working to max capacity as the larger unit will cut out saving power whereas an undersized unit will not. * always install a well regarded manufactured unit the good major companies units are built To a much better standard then some Of the cheaper stuff out there. * Ducted installs can be tricky. Before giving anyone the go ahead To do the work to your home actually meet with someone from The company to receive the quote you'll always get a good feeling as to How a person conducts there business if you see them Face to face rather then just over email. So basically airconditioning is sort of an art of its own many think it's straight forward but the smallest things like return air positioning, zone motor placement and even grill outlet positioning can make a big difference to the efficiency of your system and your comfort (which is the reason why you invest in airconditioning in the first place) sorry for the long rant but I've Always hated seeing people Being mislead or ripped off all because a company's mislead them or cut corners in order to gain the job.
  10. Hey guys having worked in the refrigeration and airconditioning trade for a long time if anyone ever needs any advice regarding ac or refrigeration feel free to pm me always be happy to help
