The brief

Get the energy bills down

A classic brick home in South Penrith, and a brief we hear every week: the power bills are heading the wrong way — pull them back. The family also lives with sinus and allergy issues, so healthier air made the list too.

Rather than one appliance swap, we put together the whole picture.

The solution

Solar — arranged through one of our trusted partners, so generation came first.
Rinnai heat pump hot water replacing the old electric tank — the same hot showers for a fraction of the energy.
Rinnai ducted reverse-cycle with MyPlace IQ smart zoning — heat and cool the rooms in use, not the whole house.
Subfloor ventilation to keep moisture moving under the house.
G4 high-efficiency return-air filter — a meaningful upgrade for sinus and allergy sufferers.

Generation, hot water, climate and air quality — one coordinated upgrade, bills heading the right way.

Toshiba MMS & Dehumidifiers, Seaforth

The Brief

The existing Seaforth waterside residence was experiencing moisture issues as well as poor temperature control. Air conditioning equipment was undersized and lacked performance resulting in fluctuating temperature levels.

The home suffered from extreme moisture problems to the point of zero visibility from the rear windows due to condensation on the glass.

The client required complete control over humidity levels as well as precise temperature control of selected areas of the four level home.

The Solution

Air conditioning equipment was replaced with a commercial grade Toshiba Multi-indoor VRF inverter system. A three pipe version allowing individual heating & cooling operation throughout the home.

10 sensing points throught the home allow for precise measuring & control of the air conditioning, ensuring stable temperatures are maintained.

Ventilation was provided to all wet areas ensuring no moisture was introduced to the living areas. Dehumidifiers installed on each level maintain a constant humdity level of around 50%.
