The problem
The home already had a ducted air conditioning system, and the owner wanted it replaced with a new one. A replacement like this involves more than swapping the outdoor unit. The old indoor unit sits in the roof space, and the ductwork that runs to each room has to be assessed as well.
What we found
The old outdoor unit was mounted on brackets on the side wall of the home, with the indoor unit and ductwork in the roof space. Before anything was removed, our team connected recovery equipment to the old outdoor unit so the system could be decommissioned properly.
The old indoor unit, outdoor unit and flexible ducting were then taken out of the property.
How we completed the ducted system replacement
With the old system out, the new Daikin indoor unit was installed in the roof space and suspended from the roof framing. New insulated flexible ducting was connected to carry air to the outlets through the home.
The new outdoor unit was mounted on wall brackets in the side passage, in the same area as the old one. An isolator switch was fitted on the wall beside the unit, and the pipework was run in capping down the wall for a tidy finish.
The result
The home now has a new 14kW Daikin premium ducted system in place of the old one. The outdoor unit sits neatly on the side wall, clear of the path, and the indoor unit and ducting are out of sight in the roof space.
The old system was removed from the property as part of the job.
What this Mount Druitt job shows
Replacing a ducted system is a chance to look at the whole installation, not only the unit. The age and condition of the ductwork, the position of the outdoor unit and the size of the system all affect how well the new one performs.
The first step is having the existing system and the home assessed, so the replacement is matched to the property.
Frequently asked questions
Can an old ducted air conditioning system be replaced with a new one?
Yes. An existing ducted system can be removed and a new one installed in its place. The new indoor unit usually goes in the roof space where the old one was, and the outdoor unit can often go in the same position.
Does the ductwork need to be replaced with the unit?
Not always. It depends on the age and condition of the existing ducting and whether it suits the new system. On this job, the old flexible ducting was removed along with the old units. An installer should inspect the ductwork before recommending whether to keep or replace it.
What size ducted system does a home need?
It depends on the size and layout of the home, the number of rooms being cooled and heated, insulation and how the system will be used. This home was fitted with a 14kW system. A site assessment is the reliable way to size a ducted system correctly.
Can a ducted outdoor unit be mounted on a wall?
Yes, where the wall and the position are suitable. On this job, the outdoor unit was mounted on brackets on the side wall, which keeps the side passage clear.
