Split System Air Conditioner Installation Bar Beach NSW

Installing an 8.5kW Daikin FTXM85WVMA Reverse Cycle Split System in Bar Beach, NSW

Valley Air Conditioning continues to be the trusted choice for homeowners across Newcastle and the Hunter region who want reliable climate control tailored to their needs. Recently, the team was called to a residence in Bar Beach, NSW, to upgrade an outdated air conditioning unit in the living room. The project involved decommissioning and removing the existing system, before supplying and installing a Daikin FTXM85WVMA 8.5kW reverse cycle split system air conditioner. To further protect the investment, the team also applied Rust Guard protection to the outdoor unit, ensuring long-term durability in Bar Beach’s coastal environment.

Step 1: Decommissioning and Removing the Old Unit

The first stage of the project required safely decommissioning the old air conditioner that had been serving the living room for several years. The existing system had become inefficient and struggled to maintain consistent temperatures, especially during hot summer days.

Valley Air Conditioning’s technicians carefully followed industry best practices to shut down and isolate the unit. This included recovering refrigerant gas in compliance with environmental standards, disconnecting electrical connections, and dismantling the indoor and outdoor components. By ensuring the old system was removed responsibly, the team not only created space for the new installation but also minimised the environmental impact of disposal.

Step 2: Selecting the Right Replacement System

The homeowners were seeking a powerful, energy-efficient replacement that could comfortably condition their spacious living room. After assessing the room size, insulation, and the family’s lifestyle, Valley Air Conditioning recommended the Daikin FTXM85WVMA 8.5kW reverse cycle split system.

This unit is part of Daikin’s renowned wall-mounted split system range, offering a balance of high performance, quiet operation, and energy efficiency. With its 8.5kW cooling and 9.0kW heating capacity, the FTXM85WVMA was the perfect match for the large open living area, capable of delivering reliable comfort all year round.

Step 3: Professional Air Conditioner Installation

The installation began with the precise positioning of the indoor unit on a central wall in the living room. Placement is key to achieving optimal air distribution, and the team ensured the unit was installed at the right height and angle to circulate air evenly throughout the space.

Next, the outdoor unit was mounted securely in a suitable location outside the home. With Bar Beach’s salty coastal air in mind, the technicians made sure the unit had adequate clearance for ventilation while remaining easy to access for future maintenance. Electrical connections and refrigerant piping were installed neatly, and all components were tested to ensure compliance with Australian safety standards.

Once connected, the system was powered up and thoroughly tested. Valley Air Conditioning technicians checked refrigerant levels, thermostat controls, and operational modes to confirm the unit was running efficiently and quietly.

Step 4: Air Conditioner Rust Guard Protection

One of the standout features of this installation was the application of Rust Guard protection to the outdoor unit. Bar Beach’s close proximity to the ocean means outdoor systems are at risk of corrosion due to salty air and humidity. Over time, this can reduce the efficiency and lifespan of an air conditioner.

By applying Rust Guard, Valley Air Conditioning provided an extra layer of defence for the Daikin outdoor unit. This protective coating helps to prevent rust and corrosion, safeguarding the unit’s coils, casing, and structural components. For the homeowners, this means greater peace of mind knowing their investment will stand up to the harsh coastal environment.
