HVAC Comfort for Mangawhai Home

Challenge

With an existing ducted air conditioning system underperforming and noisy, leading to discomfort and increased energy consumption, Chilltech were tasked to get to the bottom of and rectify the issue. A thorough audit of the ducted system revealed the system itself to be working well, but poorly configured to the home layout, leading to insufficient heating and cooling throughout.

Solution

Utilising the existing system, Chilltech relocated and reconfigured the ducted air conditioning system. Temporary timber framing was installed in the ceiling spaces to allow safe access and installation. The indoor unit was removed, relocated and reinstated to the ceiling space for installation with ducting and components. Additional ceiling supply grills were installed with placement selected to ensure increased efficiency and existing fabric screens were removed and replaced with a more suitable alternative to ensure increased airflow. All components were repainted to ensure the interior aesthetic was retained. The unit was then recommissioned and adjusted to achieve balanced airflow throughout the space.

“We look after a number of high-end properties for discerning clientele. Chilltech’s service and maintenance team have been excellent to deal with since their introduction to us two years ago and constantly go above and beyond to help us provide exceptional service to our clients. We can’t recommend them highly enough.” – Tend Property Services

Outcome

To the eye, there was visually no change to the system, but reconfiguring the system layout resulted in enhanced performance, increased efficiency and improved comfort as the design was modified to better suit the home.
