Supply and Install a Split System Air Conditioner in Cromer
Case Study: Platinum AC Installs a 5.0kW Daikin Zena Split System in Cromer, NSW
Delivering efficient climate control while maintaining a refined interior aesthetic is a common priority for homeowners in Sydney’s Northern Beaches. In this case study, Platinum AC was engaged to supply and install a 5.0kW Daikin Zena reverse cycle split system air conditioner in the main bedroom of a residential home in Cromer, NSW. The project focused on achieving year-round comfort, quiet operation, and a premium visual finish that complemented the home’s modern interior.
Client Requirements and Project Overview
The homeowner contacted Platinum AC seeking an air conditioning solution that would provide reliable heating and cooling for their main bedroom throughout the year. The existing room relied on natural ventilation and portable heating, which proved inadequate during summer heatwaves and colder winter nights.
Key requirements for the new system included:
- Effective cooling and heating capacity for a large master bedroom
- Quiet operation suitable for overnight use
- High energy efficiency to manage running costs
- A sleek, modern design that blended into the bedroom décor
Following an on-site assessment, Platinum AC recommended the Daikin Zena 5.0kW reverse cycle split system, a premium model known for its compact design, advanced airflow control, and superior performance.
Why the Daikin Zena Was Selected
The Daikin Zena range is designed for homeowners who want both performance and aesthetics. With its slim profile and contemporary styling, the Zena indoor unit is ideal for bedrooms and living spaces where appearance matters.
The 5.0kW capacity was carefully selected to match the size and layout of the main bedroom, ensuring efficient temperature control without overworking the system. The Zena’s reverse cycle technology allows the system to deliver powerful cooling in summer and reliable heating during winter, making it a versatile year-round solution.
Additional benefits of the Daikin Zena include:
- Inverter technology for energy-efficient operation
- Whisper-quiet performance for sleeping comfort
- Precise airflow control for even temperature distribution
- Advanced filtration to help improve indoor air quality
Split System Air Conditioner Installation Planning and Preparation
Before installation commenced, Platinum AC conducted a detailed site inspection to determine the optimal placement of both the indoor and outdoor units. Indoor unit positioning was selected to maximise airflow across the bedroom while minimising visual impact and ensuring ease of access for future servicing.
The outdoor condenser was located to allow efficient airflow, minimise noise transmission, and comply with local council and manufacturer installation guidelines. All pipework routes and electrical connections were planned to ensure a neat, professional finish.
Supply and Installation Process
On the scheduled installation day, Platinum AC installation technicians arrived on site and prepared the work area to protect the home’s interior. The indoor Daikin Zena unit was mounted securely in the main bedroom, with careful attention paid to alignment and aesthetics.
Refrigerant pipework, drainage, and electrical connections were installed with precision, ensuring optimal system performance and long-term reliability. The outdoor unit was securely mounted and connected, with all components installed to Daikin’s strict manufacturer standards.
Once installation was complete, the system was vacuum tested, charged, and commissioned to confirm correct operation.
System Testing and Commissioning
Following installation, Platinum AC thoroughly tested the Daikin Zena split system in both cooling and heating modes. Airflow, temperature output, and system responsiveness were checked to ensure the unit was performing as expected.
The homeowner was guided through the operation of the system, including:
- Using the remote controller
- Switching between heating and cooling modes
- Adjusting airflow direction and fan speed
- Understanding energy-saving features
This handover ensured the client could confidently operate their new air conditioner and maximise comfort and efficiency.
Results and Homeowner Benefits
The installation delivered immediate improvements in comfort within the main bedroom. The Daikin Zena provided fast, even cooling during warmer conditions and reliable heating during cooler evenings, all while operating quietly in the background.
Key benefits for the homeowner included:
- Year-round temperature control
- Improved sleeping comfort due to quiet operation
- Reduced reliance on portable heaters and fans
