Some of your FAQs...
What is a reverse cycle heating & cooling system & how does it work?
The most basic way to look at reverse cycle air conditioners is to think of them as systems that absorb hot air. To heat your home, they absorb heat from outdoor air and add it to your indoor air. To cool your home, this heat exchange process is reversed. The entire system is efficient, adaptable, and flexible and is considered one of the most efficient heating and cooling methods on the market.
how does a split system compare to gas heating?
Split systems have many benefits that make them a preferred option today. They are more energy efficient, safer and end up costing much less in the long run, particularly if your gas system is ducted. An energy-efficient, star-rated air conditioner can provide considerable savings compared to gas heating and keep your home warm throughout the winter.
My home is not big. do split systems come in different sizes?
Yes. Both the Daiken and Fujitsu models come in 2kW, 2.5kW, 3.5kW, 4.6kW, 5.0kW, 6.0kW, and 7.1kW.
What size system SHOULD i INSTALL?
Generally speaking you should count on .15 kW per square metre. However the type of home you have and materials it is built from will influence your choice. This website has a good calculator that takes these things into account and will give you a good idea before you ask for information and quotes https://www.frozoneair.com.au/splitguidepage
is it possible to control two or more systems centrally?
Yes. Many small and medium sized businesses will more than one system, for instance offices, consulting rooms, hotels etc. Both Daiken and Fujitsu have apps that allow control of wall mounted split air conditioning from smartphones or tablets (iOS or Android) via a Wi-Fi network or internet. This makes it easier to centrally control the efficiency of your heating/cooling at home or at work.
What sort of savings will a hot water heat pump give me?
A heat-pump hot water system uses much less electricity than an electric storage hot water system. This is because it only uses electricity to drive the compressor and the fan, instead of using electricity to heat the water directly with an electric element. As an example, a standard electric hot water system will use 3.6 kW of electrical input to deliver 3.6 kW of thermal output. A heat pump will use 1 kW of electrical input to deliver 5 kW of thermal output. Typically hot water heat pumps use only 20% of the energy required by an electric storage hot water system, saving up to 80% compared to conventional electric hot water energy costs.
what are veec's and stc's?
VEECs are Victorian Energy Efficiency Certificates that represent the amount of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2-e) in tonnes that would be displaced by the use of the installation. The rebate is taken off the price of your system by your installer.
Australian Government Small-scale Technology Certificates represent the amount of electricity in megawatt hours (MWh) that would be displaced by the use of the solar water heater over its lifetime of up to 10 years. One STC is equivalent to one MWh of electricity offset by the solar water heater. The rebate is taken off the price of your system by your installer.
