Reverse cycle air conditioning granny flat Perth

hi, wanting to put reverse cycle in my granny flat, only had one quote so far and wondered if anyone had any hints or tips, 3 zone, 4 outlet, been quoted 7,500 but never had reverse cycle before so I don't know if this seems reasonable or not, many thanks in advance.

 

Any reason why you aren't just going for a few split system units instead?

 

Sounds like overkill - 3 zones in a granny flat. Two at the most - living and bedrooms.

I would also concur with using 2/3 splits if you're serious about having 3 zones.

How big is the gf? High ceilings or anything extraordinary like high heat load and no insulation?

 

The guy said each bedroom is a zone and living/dining/kitchen. Two bedrooms and high ceilings. There is only one place to put a split and that is servicing one bedroom, I did think ducted Evap but it gets very cool and very warm there even though the insulation and everything is there
I could possibly get away with one split in the main bedroom but ultimately I want to rent it on airbnb so I want it comfortable. Oddly enough, the main bedroom is reasonably comfortable because it is well shaded, the rest is hot as hell even though I minimised East/West exposure and keep it well shut up to try to reduce heat.

 

I would use one wall mounted split system. Depending on lay out it should be good enough to cool the whole place.

 

A zone for each bedroom is over the top. Yes, it may be more efficient however a gd is a postage stamp. If push came to shove one zone would suffice.

Get another opinion or three.

 

OK, booked another one for this week, thanks, what is a GD?

 

Personally for a rental I'd throw in a wall system, only requires a powerpoint, don't know what area of WA your in but for eg; $200 for a 4.7kw system - LG 4.7kW wall or window mount air conditioner | Air Conditioning & Heating | Gumtree Australia Subiaco Area - Subiaco | 1102919142
That was a quick look, plenty of others on there incl split

If the place is "hot as hell" perhaps try a whirlybird on the roof with eave vents.
If it's exposed/cathedral ceilings use one of these which allows it to be open/closed - CSR Edmonds Ventilation Cathedral Ceiling Vent Kit

Perhaps also consider tinting the windows or preferably having some form of eve/shade over them if they're getting hit with direct sun.

 

Thank you!
