i had daiken split reverse cycles installed in my unit, 1x1hp, 1x1.5hp, approx $4.5k later after install, theyve been running practically [U]non stop[/U] for 2.5 years,
i clean the filters everyso often when i notice the air flow is a bit lame, other then that- absolutley hassle free.

Evaps are shit when its humid.

Reverse Cycle ducted with advantage air - FTW

Cool/heat one room or whole house - choose temp in each room

Big $ though.

so I have just put a deposit down on a Fujitsu reverse cycle air con its the 12.5kw one. should be installed in two weeks let hope it dont get two hot before then.

Thanks heaps for all your help guys it really helped me make my mind up between brands and system.

Can anyone recommend a good evap installer, might unit shat itself today will need a new one... :/

had a ducted rev cycle system installed by winton air about 5 yrs ago in the old house...

right after the installers left, i noticed what looked like alot of condensation around one of the vent outlets in the roof...

after a while i noticed it was dripping water, soon it was pissing out :eek:

turned the system off, got em back next day.

the clown that installed it ran the drain line up & over a large beam in the roof cavity so it backflowed into the ceiling & not outside into the gutters :rolleyes:

ive had this house window tinted which with a norwest facing living area makes a good difference to not needing to run the a/c. was no where near hot enough to run a/c today anyway

5x panasonic splits,
the house is basically a 350m2 fridge now

+1 one the evap!

[QUOTE=BLUES;409728]Design your house to be energy efficient at the beginning and all you'll need is an evap unit on the lowest setting to keep you cool for 99.9% of the time - it's not hard or expensive.

I personally like having doors/windows open in summer for fresh air rather than have everything shut.[/QUOTE]

+ 1...

Loving our Evap system!
