Frequently Asked Questions
It will depend on the model and size of the heating system you have installed at your home. With the introduction of adaptive zoning, it is possible to operate heating in specific areas of your home. Please contact us for more information.
No. Evaporative cooling systems need to operate with all of the vents open. Closing vents can be detrimental to its operation, as well as lead to a build up of humidity within the home. This can ruin furniture and make the floors both slippery and dangerous.
Only if your existing heating system has been designed to do so. Larger and higher insulated ducting is required when add-on cooling is attached to a gas ducted heating system. Systems that are incompatible will not be able to cool properly, which also makes them quite expensive to run.
Yes! Ceiling heating systems can be highly effective in homes, offices, and various other settings. These days, you also have the chance to choose between traditional ducted gas or electric reverse cycle heating and cooling systems. Whichever option you choose, Airvolution Heating & Cooling can design the system to blow the air down to floor level and install the return air at low level.
No. Unfortunately, you’re unable to use the same ducts for both. This is because evaporative cooling needs a much greater volume of air. Therefore, the ducting required for evaporative cooling is much larger than that of gas ducted heating.
No. Unless you’re a licensed plumber, electrician, or both, this process must be left to the experts. Only licensed tradespeople can install, service, and repair HVAC systems in a safe manner. The Airvolution team will supply you with a compliance certificate after the installation.
Yes, the vast majority of systems are either controlled with a remote, a central thermostat, or via smart phone apps. Please talk to our consultant at the time of the quote as it is dependent on what type of system you install.
Most installations are completed within a day. Our team will be able to provide an accurate picture of the time frame when we are scheduling the upcoming installation.
Yes! Doors or windows must be open as evaporative cooling systems need airflow to operate properly. This is a critical part of operating your evaporative cooler.
An exact figure is difficult to estimate, as it will depend on the humidity level on the day of operation. Higher humidity has a direct impact on the evaporation rate of water over the pads. The size of the cooler and the speed of the fan will also affect your level of consumption. Evaporative cooling, however, continues to be the cheapest and healthiest form of cooling on the market today.
Melbourne’s temperate climate makes it the ideal environment to operate evaporative cooling. However, the general principle is this–drier the day, the better the system will work.
Yes absolutely. However, it’s worth considering that in many cases, there’s only a marginal cost difference to installing a reverse cycle (heating and cooling) system. Feel free to reach out to us for expert advice and guidance!
In a general sense, the term split system does not mean heating and cooling. It actually relates to the air conditioning unit being split into two parts (the indoor head and outdoor compressor).
There are many great brands on the Australian market. We are authorised dealers for Daikin, Panasonic, and ActronAir, all of which continue to produce high-quality systems. We believe every house and room is different and our staff will happily recommend the best unit for your home.
