I got a similar setup for my house as well. Being able to selectively cool rooms that are in use is great. However, I do wish the insulation was far better. Unfortunately I’ve noticed that Melbourne houses are usually very poorly constructed due to expensive raw materials and labour.
- fifteenforty 4y agoHave you examined your insulation with a thermal camera? Might be worth your while to get an energy inspector out. Personally I haven’t yet, mostly because I can still see low hanging fruit to fix.
- Karupan 4y agoYea have some pretty obvious improvements pending as well. But that’s a good suggestion - might get someone to come give a professional assessment before I put in a 7kwh unit for another room.
- EricE 4y agoYou don't even need a pro - you can get FLIR cameras that attach to cell phones for around $100 and they are more than adequate to show you areas of irregularity and worthy of targeting. I got one years ago mainly as just something to play with but I use it ALL the time for all kinds of things. Having a thermal camera is crazy useful.
- fifteenforty 4y agoI have a cheap Uni-T thermal camera. It’s great fun!
