Air Conditioner Installation Queenscliff NSW

Platinum AC Installs Daikin Cora 7.1kW Split System in Queenscliff Home

When it comes to heating and cooling solutions that balance performance, efficiency, and aesthetics, Daikin is a trusted name in Australian homes. Recently, Platinum AC completed the supply and installation of a powerful Daikin Cora 7.1kW split system air conditioner in the living room of a stylish family home in Queenscliff, NSW. The installation not only elevated the comfort level of the home but also added value through smart climate control and modern design.

This article walks you through the project, from consultation to commissioning, showcasing the attention to detail and professionalism that Platinum AC brings to every job.

Understanding the Client’s Needs

The homeowners approached Platinum AC with a clear goal: they wanted a reliable, energy-efficient air conditioning system that could deliver consistent performance throughout the year. Given the coastal location in Queenscliff, NSW, the system also needed to handle humidity and salt-laden air, which can be tough on outdoor units.

Their main focus was the large open-plan living area, which serves as the heart of the home. With high ceilings and expansive windows, it’s a beautiful space — but one that can become uncomfortably warm in summer and chilly during winter. After an on-site inspection and consultation, Platinum AC recommended the Daikin Cora 7.1kW reverse cycle split system as the ideal solution.

Why the Daikin Cora 7.1kW?

The Daikin Cora series is known for its sleek, minimal design and powerful performance, making it perfect for modern living spaces. The 7.1kW model in particular is well-suited for larger rooms like the client’s living area, providing enough capacity to heat or cool quickly and maintain a steady indoor temperature.

Some of the standout features that influenced the decision include:

• Inverter Technology: Smooth and efficient temperature control that reduces energy usage and wear on the system.
• Coanda Airflow: Directs air along the ceiling for better distribution and comfort.
• Precision Control: Allows homeowners to fine-tune their climate settings with ease.
• Ultra-quiet Operation: Perfect for living areas where families relax and entertain. 

Being a reverse cycle system, the Daikin Cora also provides both heating and cooling, making it an all-year-round solution — a major plus in climates like NSW where seasons can be unpredictable.

Split System Air Conditioner Installation Day

Platinum AC’s team arrived early on installation day, prepared with all the necessary tools and the Daikin Cora unit. The installation process followed a well-coordinated timeline to ensure minimal disruption to the household.

Step 1: Placement Planning
The indoor unit was mounted on an internal wall strategically chosen to allow optimal airflow across the living space. The team ensured the height and angle of the unit would complement the room’s layout while maximising efficiency.

Step 2: Outdoor Unit Setup
The outdoor condenser was placed on an elevated concrete slab in a discreet location along the side of the house. Being close to the indoor unit allowed for a short and efficient pipe run, reducing energy loss and preserving aesthetics.

Step 3: Pipework and Electrical
Refrigerant piping and electrical cabling were installed with care, using quality materials and conduit for a neat, professional finish. The system was wired back to the switchboard with a dedicated circuit and safety isolator, meeting all local electrical compliance standards.

Step 4: Testing and Commissioning
Once connected, the system was pressure-tested, vacuumed, and checked for leaks before being commissioned. The team ran the unit through a full cycle to ensure smooth operation, checking temperature output, remote functionality, and system responsiveness.

The Result

The finished installation was clean, precise, and completely integrated into the home’s interior design. The indoor unit’s smooth white finish blended well with the existing wall, while the discreet outdoor placement ensured no interruption to the home’s street appeal.

The homeowner reported an immediate improvement in comfort, with the living room cooling down in minutes during a warm afternoon. Quiet operation was a major benefit, especially when entertaining or relaxing in the evening.

Customer Satisfaction

Platinum AC believes that good service doesn’t end when the installation is complete. The team took the time to walk the homeowners through system controls, maintenance tips, and how to get the best energy efficiency out of their new Daikin Cora system.

A follow-up check was scheduled a few weeks later to ensure everything was running smoothly — a gesture the homeowners greatly appreciated.
