Supply and Install a Ducted Air Conditioner in Frenchs Forest
Platinum AC Brings Whole-Home Comfort to Frenchs Forest with Daikin Premium Inverter Ducted and Alira X Split System Air Conditioning
Platinum AC recently completed a comprehensive air conditioning upgrade for a beautiful two-storey family home in Frenchs Forest, NSW, delivering tailored climate control and energy efficiency across every room. The project featured the installation of a Daikin 14.0kW Premium Inverter ducted air conditioning system on the upper level, a Daikin Alira X 3.5kW reverse cycle split system on the lower level, and a MyAir smart air conditioning controller to bring intelligent airflow control to the entire home.
This carefully planned and executed system allows the homeowners to enjoy precise, room-by-room comfort, all managed from a single smart interface, no matter the time of year.
Project Overview: Comfort for Every Corner of the Home
The homeowners in Frenchs Forest reached out to Platinum AC with a clear goal: they wanted a zoned air conditioning solution that could cool and heat different parts of their home independently and efficiently, while keeping the installation clean and unobtrusive.
After a detailed inspection and load calculation, our team proposed a dual-system solution: a high-capacity ducted unit for the upper floor where the bedrooms and family areas are located, and a sleek wall-mounted split system for the lower level, which is used less frequently but still requires reliable climate control.
To tie everything together, we recommended a MyAir smart controller, which enables seamless zoning, real-time adjustments, and smartphone integration.
Upper Level: Daikin 14.0kW Premium Inverter Ducted Air Conditioning System
The upper storey of the home includes four bedrooms, a shared hallway, and a media room, all of which needed individual airflow control and quiet operation. The Daikin 14.0kW Premium Inverter ducted system was the perfect match.
This top-of-the-line ducted unit is engineered for large, multi-room homes. It features Daikin’s powerful inverter technology that modulates the compressor speed based on the actual heating or cooling demand. The result is quieter operation, faster temperature response, and greater energy efficiency compared to standard systems.
Key benefits of the Premium Inverter system include:
- Exceptional airflow control and zone customisation
- Whisper-quiet performance, especially important for bedrooms
- Energy-efficient inverter motor for reduced power usage
- Discreet ceiling vents and return air grilles that maintain the home’s modern interior aesthetics
We installed the ducted unit in the ceiling cavity with insulated ductwork branching to each upstairs room. Linear slot diffusers were used in living areas for even airflow, while circular outlets were selected for the bedrooms to balance performance with style.
Lower Level: Daikin Alira X 3.5kW Reverse Cycle Split System
On the lower level, which includes a study and multi-purpose area, the homeowners wanted a simpler solution for occasional use. We installed a Daikin Alira X 3.5kW wall-mounted split system, known for its compact design, air purification features, and energy efficiency.
This unit features:
- Advanced streamer technology that removes airborne particles and allergens
- Powerful reverse cycle performance for heating and cooling
- Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing it to be operated from a smartphone via the Daikin app
- A sleek, modern finish that complements the room’s aesthetic
The Alira X was mounted high on the wall for optimal airflow, with piping and cabling neatly routed through wall cavities to ensure a clean look.
Smart Zoning with MyAir
To bring both systems together and give the homeowners complete control over their indoor climate, we installed a MyAir smart air conditioning controller, a cutting-edge system that turns ducted and split systems into a customisable, multi-zone solution.
With the MyAir controller, the homeowners can:
- Independently manage airflow to each room, turning zones on or off as needed
- Adjust temperature and fan speeds from a central 8-inch touchscreen or the MyAir mobile app
- Set schedules for different times of day and days of the week
- Use motion sensors (optional) to detect room occupancy and automatically adjust airflow, saving energy
The system gives them total control over comfort and efficiency. For example, cooling just the upstairs bedrooms overnight, while turning off the downstairs unit, helps lower power usage without compromising comfort.
MyAir’s intuitive interface also makes it easy for every member of the family to customise their room settings, and the system can even integrate with home automation platforms, offering future-proof flexibility.
Air Conditioner Installation Process and Finish
The installation was carefully staged to minimise disruption. Our team worked closely with the homeowners to schedule work during suitable hours and kept all areas tidy and safe throughout the process.
We used premium insulation and acoustic treatments to ensure the ducted system remained whisper-quiet, especially in sleeping areas. All control wiring and refrigerant piping were routed through ceiling spaces and cavities, leaving no exposed conduits or visible cabling.
At completion, we conducted full system testing, balancing, and commissioning to guarantee peak performance. We also provided hands-on training for the MyAir controller and Daikin app, ensuring the homeowners were fully comfortable with managing their new system.
A Smart, Comfortable Home, All Year Round
Thanks to the combined power of Daikin’s Premium Inverter ducted system, the Alira X split unit, and the MyAir smart controller, this Frenchs Forest home is now equipped for total climate control across both levels. Whether it’s summer heat, winter chills, or the in-between days, the family now enjoys custom comfort, zone by zone, with energy efficiency built in.
This project highlights Platinum AC’s commitment to tailored air conditioning solutions that meet the unique needs of every home. With expert advice, high-quality products, and meticulous installation, we continue to deliver smart, efficient, and comfortable results, one home at a time.
