Air conditioning Auckland is a system that works to cool the inside temperature of your home. These systems also work to dehumidify and increase the efficiency of appliances.
Designed for New Zealand conditions, this system features multi-split heat pumps that use just one outdoor unit to power multiple indoor units. This saves energy and money by reducing heating and cooling demand.
Energy efficiency
Choosing a highly energy efficient air conditioning Auckland system will save you money in the long run. You should look for a model that uses low-GWP refrigerants with no ozone depletion potential. You should also look for a unit that has a high EER rating and is able to cool your home without increasing the humidity.
Many new homes in New Zealand are being built with ducted heat pumps, which are an effective way to keep your home cool and warm. The main advantage of a ducted heat pump is that it provides even heating throughout the house. The system can be controlled with a remote control or through your home WiFi.
The dependence on air-conditioning in New Zealand can be reduced through policies and codes that reduce solar gain and use mixed-mode ventilation. These measures will improve building energy security, increase productivity and efficiency, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The policies could include energy metrics for cooling and a minimum standard for insulated commercial buildings.
Noise level
An air conditioning NZ company should provide a noise assessment of their equipment before the customer buys it. This will allow the customer to determine if they need to purchase additional engineering controls to reduce the noise level of the installation. The noise levels of equipment are measured using a noise meter and an A-weighted decibel scale. The results of the assessment should be compared to the exposure limits set in the Health and Safety in Employment Act and AS/NZS 1269.
The levels of noise to which workers are exposed must not exceed 110 dBA leq,8h (see Appendix E of AS/NZS 1269). The dBA value is calculated as the average level of a shift or period of exposure.
The susceptibility of individuals to hearing loss due to noise exposure varies considerably. However, the exposure limits set in this code are expected to largely prevent hearing loss in all but the most susceptible. Loud noise makes communication difficult and may mask warning sounds. These non-auditory effects occur at levels well below the exposure limits.
Maintenance
When you choose to invest in air con, it’s important to look at the long term maintenance of your system. Regular maintenance will ensure your air conditioner runs efficiently and uses less power. Air conditioning installation experts can draw up an affordable maintenance plan that suits your needs.
If your system has logged a fault, it will show up on the indoor unit and wall controller by way of flashing operation and timer lights. If possible, count the number of times each light flashes and isolate power to the unit for five minutes – this will reset the system.
HRV green air conditioning solutions are designed specifically for New Zealand conditions with an environmentally friendly refrigerant that has a lower global warming potential than traditional fluorocarbons. This will help reduce energy use and emissions.
Installation
Air conditioning systems are a must in Auckland, especially during the summertime. They help increase productivity and reduce the number of people who become irritable, so they’re the perfect solution for offices, schools, and public buildings. If you’re thinking of getting an air conditioning system, there are several things to consider before making your decision.
The key factor is whether a heat pump system will suit your needs and the size of your home. A heat pump is a great alternative to coal fires and fan heaters, and will reduce your carbon footprint. However, it has an upfront cost and ongoing costs, so it’s important to understand these factors before you choose one.
