Installation Quality Matters

The Right Air Conditioner Still Needs the Right Installation

Choosing the correct air conditioner is only part of the process. Its placement, pipework, insulation, drainage, vacuuming and final commissioning can all affect comfort, noise levels, reliability and performance.

At Airsense Airconditioning Pty Ltd, every installation is approached with careful planning and more than 19 years of hands-on industry experience. Shaun, the owner and lead technician, is personally onsite to oversee the work and ensure that it meets Airsense’s workmanship standards.

We assist homeowners, landlords, offices, retail spaces, restaurants, guesthouses and other businesses with practical air conditioning solutions suited to the building, room conditions and intended use.

Our Installation Process

What Goes Into a Professional Installation?

Every property is different. We assess and plan the installation before drilling, mounting or routing pipework.

  1. 1

    Room and Site Assessment

    We consider dimensions, ceiling height, sunlight, windows, occupancy, heat load and intended use.

  2. 2

    System and Positioning Recommendation

    Indoor and outdoor positions are planned for airflow, access, drainage and appearance.

  3. 3

    Professional Mounting

    Equipment is securely mounted using suitable fixings, brackets and materials.

  4. 4

    Piping, Insulation and Drainage

    Pipework, cabling, insulation, trunking and drainage are routed as neatly as conditions allow.

  5. 5

    Leak Checks and Digital Vacuum Measurement

    Connections are checked and a digital vacuum gauge is used to measure the vacuum accurately.

  6. 6

    Commissioning and Handover

    Operation and drainage are tested, and the customer is shown how to use the system.

Small Installation Details That Make a Big Difference

💧

Gravity Drainage and Condensate Pumps

Condensate must be safely drained. Gravity drainage is used wherever practical; where it is not possible, a separately quoted condensate pump may be required. Pumps need regular cleaning and maintenance.

📟

We Measure the Vacuum

We use a professional vacuum pump and digital vacuum gauge to measure the vacuum, help confirm that air and moisture have been removed, and check vacuum stability before commissioning.

📐

Neat PVC Trunking

Visible piping, insulation, cabling and drainage are enclosed in PVC trunking where conditions allow. Colour-coded or painted trunking can be requested at an additional fee.
