How Daikin air conditioners work

Most modern air conditioning systems you might encounter are reverse-cycle, meaning they are able to both heat and cool.

Every Daikin air conditioner offers both heating and cooling options. This includes split systems, multi-split and ducted air conditioning installations. Which one is right for you will depend on whether you aim to control the temperature in the whole house or just a few rooms.

Heating – the energy efficient way

The one word you’ll hear over and over again when talking about reverse cycle systems is efficient… efficient in terms of energy use, efficient in cost over time, efficient in heating, efficient in cooling. They really do provide one of the most efficient means of heating a home available, far more efficient that conventional electric fan, bar, or gas heaters.

In fact, modern reverse cycle air conditioning systems are becoming more efficient over time, particularly in terms of energy consumption and cost, making them a very good investment in comfort and health. And as electricity prices continue to rise, air conditioner efficiency is becoming increasingly important.

Did you know that even though winter air seems cold, it actually contains useable heat that can be captured and pumped into your home? The reverse-cycle technology used in Daikin air conditioners extracts this heat from the air outside and creates a warm, cosy temperature within.

This technology, while being very effective, is also more energy efficient than other types of heaters, which convert energy from their power source into heat rather than harnessing the energy already contained in the air outside and moving it inside.

Cooling

Similar to the heating cycle, Daikin reverse cycle air conditioners will absorb the heat energy from inside the house and blow it outside, thus cooling the inside of the house, perfect for our tropical climate.

Efficiency ratings

Regulations in Australia require consumer air conditioners to be labelled with their energy efficiency rating. These ratings are expressed as stars with the least efficient air conditioners having one star and the most efficient with 10 stars. Heating efficiency is shown in red and cooling efficiency in blue.

Daikin air conditioners have an average energy rating of seven stars and the split systems are some of the most energy efficient available in the Australian market. This is one of the many reasons that here at WES, we only recommend and provide Daikin air conditioning systems.

Daikin Inverter Technology is one of the most energy-efficient ways to heat and cool your home. It gently adjusts power so you reach your desired temperature faster and then maintains it, without fluctuations.

Daikin also builds in loads of great features into their split system air conditioning systems to save you money, including Econo Mode and a standby power function.

Save money with MEPS

MEPS stands for Minimum Energy Performance Standards and the complete Daikin range sold here at WES Mackay not only complies with, but exceeds the Australian MEPS requirements.

Daikin also builds many great features into their split system air conditioning systems to save money for their owners, including economy mode and a standby power function.

Sensitive Choice program

Sensitive Choice is an initiative of the National Asthma Council of Australia, the program carries the distinctive blue butterfly symbol and the purpose is to help improve the lives of those with asthma and allergies. Daikin’s split system air conditioners are the only split systems that carry the blue butterfly symbol.

Daikin air conditioners come with a variety of advanced air purifying technologies designed to target the indoor air pollutants which can trigger asthma and allergies. Daikin is a partner of Sensitive Choice and their website gives details of which Daikin products are approved in Australia.

Servicing

Just like a car, you need to regularly service your air conditioners to keep them in premium working order. Regular air conditioner maintenance means your air conditioner will work efficiently, saving you money on your power bill. WES recommends that you should schedule servicing for your air conditioning at least every 12 months, and as frequently as every 6 months depending on how much the system is being used.

Regularly cleaning and maintaining your air conditioners will keeps you and your family healthier as mould, dust, bacteria, and other allergens are cleaned out of the hard-to-reach areas. Simply cleaning the filters is not enough to keep your air conditioner clean.

All of this means that regular servicing is good for your health, your wallet, often means fewer repairs and extends the life of your units. Call the WES office on (07) 4998 5656 to book a service or schedule your future servicing and keep your aircon working efficiently and your family healthy. It can be easy to forget to book a service or leave it last minute and not be able to find someone to do it when you want, but if you schedule it ahead of time it can save a lot of the hassle.

Maintenance

With the hot and humid summer we feel in Mackay, our air conditioners certainly get a good workout!
The majority of breakdowns we attend to are usually caused by drain blockages from algae and mould build up. We found that nearly all of these air conditioners have not been serviced in recent years. These breakdowns could have very easily been prevented had the unit been serviced on a regular basis.

Three important reasons why servicing is a must:

1 – Better for the environment
Drains filled with algae and mould lower the energy efficiency of the air conditioner. Clogged air filters will also force the unit to work harder using more energy while delivering less cooling. The extra energy created by an inefficient unit will pollute the environment therefore creating more greenhouse gas emissions contributing to global warming.

2 – Better for your wallet
Better for your wallet: Regular servicing of your air conditioning units will help improve energy efficiency by speeding up the cooling off process therefore reducing the running times and saving money. By carrying out a full strip & clean of your air conditioner, you can save the cost of expensive breakdowns in the future. Not to mention the lengthy time delays waiting for part in the heat of summer!

3 – Better for your health
The units air filters accumulate a lot of dust, pollen, mould and other impurities which can aggravate allergies or worse, cause illness. Keeping the air conditioner filters clean and dust-free will improve the quality of cool air blowing from the unit that we are breathing in.
