Replacing and Installing a Split System Air Conditioner

Ice Blast Installs New 9.5kW Daikin Split System at Church in Park Ridge, Queensland

Ice Blast recently completed a full air conditioning upgrade at a church in Park Ridge, Queensland, ensuring the congregation can now enjoy reliable and efficient comfort throughout the year. The project involved the decommissioning and removal of an old, underperforming air conditioner, followed by the supply and installation of a powerful new 9.5kW Daikin reverse cycle split system.

This upgrade was not only about restoring comfort but also about improving energy efficiency, system reliability, and creating a welcoming environment for services, gatherings, and events held at the church.

Project Background

The church, located in the growing suburb of Park Ridge in Brisbane’s south, had been struggling with an outdated air conditioning system that was no longer functioning efficiently. The old unit, which had seen years of continuous use, was delivering inconsistent airflow and frequent faults, leading to uncomfortable indoor conditions during both hot summer days and cooler winter mornings.

Church leaders reached out to Ice Blast to provide a professional recommendation and solution. After a detailed inspection and consultation, it was decided that the best path forward would be to fully remove the existing unit and install a new high-capacity 9.5kW Daikin split system, known for its performance, quiet operation, and energy-saving features.

Decommissioning and Removal of the Air Conditioner 

Before the new unit could be installed, the existing air conditioner needed to be properly decommissioned and removed. Ice Blast’s experienced technicians followed strict safety and environmental procedures throughout the process.

The first step involved isolating the system from the power supply and safely recovering any remaining refrigerant gas using specialised recovery equipment. This step was carried out in accordance with Australian standards and environmental regulations to ensure no harmful gases were released into the atmosphere.

Once decommissioned, the team carefully dismantled the old system. The indoor and outdoor components were removed, along with any associated wiring and pipework that was no longer required. All components were responsibly disposed of or recycled wherever possible, in keeping with Ice Blast’s commitment to environmentally sustainable practices.

Supplying and Installing the Daikin 9.5kW Split System

With the old system removed, Ice Blast delivered and installed the new Daikin 9.5kW reverse cycle split system. This model was chosen for its ability to effectively cool or heat large open areas, such as the church’s main hall and communal spaces. It also features Daikin’s advanced inverter technology, which allows for consistent temperature control while using energy more efficiently than older models.

The installation included:

• Positioning the indoor unit high on the wall in a central location within the main hall to allow for even air distribution across the entire space.
  
• Mounting the outdoor condenser unit in a safe, accessible area outside the building, ensuring optimal airflow and maintenance access.
  
• Running new refrigerant lines and electrical cabling, neatly concealed and installed in compliance with industry best practices.
  
• Securing proper drainage, with the condensate line routed to ensure safe and efficient removal of moisture generated during cooling cycles.
  

Once installed, the system was pressure tested, vacuumed, and charged to the manufacturer’s specifications. The Ice Blast team then completed a full commissioning process, which included:

• Testing all functions of the air conditioner (cooling, heating, fan speed, and timer)
  
• Ensuring remote control operation
  
• Checking refrigerant pressures and temperature differentials
  
• Calibrating the unit for optimal performance
  

Result and Client Satisfaction

The new Daikin 9.5kW split system now provides consistent and powerful climate control throughout the church’s interior. It delivers rapid cooling and heating, low noise levels, and reliable operation during services and events of all sizes.

The church leaders expressed their satisfaction with the process, highlighting Ice Blast’s professionalism, clear communication, and attention to detail from start to finish. With the new air conditioner in place, the congregation can now enjoy a more comfortable and welcoming atmosphere, no matter the season.
