The air conditioning system for a private house is based on the same principles as for an apartment. In small houses, split systems or multi-split systems with different types of indoor units can be used. The air conditioning of a large cottage can be organized using multi-zone systems.
It is necessary to find a place for the installation of the outdoor and indoor units of the system. The main and prerequisite for the competent implementation of the system in the house is that it is unacceptable to install the equipment in such a way that the air flows directly to the bed or desktop.
Ventilation and air conditioning of a country house can be organized using equipment for any budget. But the final result will depend on competent design (calculations), professional selection of equipment, and high-quality installation.
It implies the use of one outdoor unit for each indoor unit (wall, duct, floor, etc.).
It`s a common option for cooling apartments.This type means the use of one outdoor unit and one indoor unit of any type (wall, duct, ceiling or floor). But the disadvantage of such a system is that it will not be able to provide air conditioning for the whole house.It can be suitable for one room or be part of a larger system. If the rooms that are going to be cooled are one or two and they are far from each other, then this type of system will be the most profitable solution.
Several indoor units (up to 5 units) of any type of air conditioner for one outdoor unit
It is the most suitable as an air conditioning system in a private house. Such a system also provides comfortable air conditions in several rooms of the same room. This means that up to 6 indoor units of devices of different standard sizes and modifications can be connected to one outdoor unit. With the correct selection of equipment, the capacity of one outdoor unit is enough for all internal ones. Using such a system, it is possible to carry out high-quality air conditioning at home and, taking into account the parameters of each room, adjust the effective operation of the device. And another advantage will be the absence of a large number of external blocks on the facade of the house.
The power of the outdoor unit allows you to connect a large number of indoor units (even dozens)
Assumes that dozens of indoor units of air conditioners can be connected to one outdoor unit. The organization of a comfortable microclimate of a private house on several floors with the help of such a system has some advantages. For example, reliable and straightforward design extends the overall service life of the system. Also, this design has a common piping system, and therefore the indoor units precisely and evenly maintain the set temperature in the room. And the peculiarities of the design of the multi-zone system allow it to work with a fairly low noise level.
Formation of operation principle and components of a future system
This stage is the first and fundamental. It involves a meeting with a client, where the characteristics of the object, the client's wishes and the budget are discussed. Based on this information, it is already possible to form a general idea about the future climate system. In addition, exactly at this stage, the client can understand whether the approach of the company and the intended implementation of the system is pleasant.
Without this step, it is impossible to move on to the subsequent stages of the implementation of the engineering system in the house or apartment.
A package of documents with drawing and specifications for the system
The design of the internal engineering system is the first stage of its implementation at the facility. It includes the development of drawings with diagrams, plans, accurate calculations and indications of the dimensions and location of the ventilation system elements. The project also contains a specification, a task for builders, electricians, plumbers and a feasibility study for the choice of equipment. For reliability and a better result, you need to order the design of a ventilation system in specialized design and installation organizations at the stage of construction or reconstruction of a building in order to avoid possible complications and unnecessary material costs.
Several options of the system - for different budgets
This stage is possible only after carrying out calculations, which correspond to the power and functionality of the future system. The cost of the future project is adjusted precisely due to the equipment - depending on the equipment, the price of the entire system changes. The cost of aerodynamics remains unchanged in all 3 variants, since a decrease in the price of a strapping entails a decrease in its area, which will lead to incorrect operation or increased noise characteristics. Alter Air provides several equipment options - depending on the selected system pricing policy. Nevertheless, we always focus on manufacturers, proven by time and experience.
Installation of equipment by certified teams according to the project
Installation of a climatic, water treatment or power supply system provides for the installation of equipment in strict accordance with engineering and structural calculations and drawings. This kind of work is most competently performed by specialists from design and installation organizations that provide services in a complex: design, installation and commissioning of the system. The installation of the internal engineering system is carried out in stages: marking the locations of equipment and air ducts, installation of installations, insulation, assembly and connection of system units, connection of drainage and power supply, start-up and commissioning, completion of repair work, installation of ventilation grilles and consoles.
Setting up and checking the efficiency of the system before starting it
During commissioning, the power cables of the system are connected, start-up, adjustment and debugging of the working climate system are carried out. If all installation steps are followed, the installation will run smoothly and efficiently. At this stage, the most important task is to check the installation and configure the system in accordance with the project. Without commissioning, it is impossible to hand over the system to the client.
Maintenance and monitoring of the system after its start
Alter Air is not just another online store that deals exclusively with the sale of equipment, but a full-fledged design and installation organization, the scope of which is much wider. We are engaged in service maintenance of air conditioners, fans, ventilation units, we carry out repair of water purification filters, repair of an air humidifier in Kiev and Ukraine, restoration of battery and much, much more. Service maintenance of systems is an important stage, since the client, in the process of interacting with the climate system, may notice certain aspects that need to be corrected or reconfigured. Service and repair of many systems can be carried out even remotely - Alter Air specialists are always in touch.
At first, it may seem that design is a step that can be overlooked and thereby save money. But we are sure that this opinion is wrong because with it you get a system according to your budget, which works efficiently, it is well placed and works in conjunction with other engineering systems.
An efficient system that suits all room parameters
Designing allows you to calculate and visually create the system as accurately as possible. A complete package of design documentation includes drawings with diagrams, plans, precise calculations and indications of the dimensions and location of the ventilation system elements. The project also contains a specification, a task for builders, electricians, plumbers and a feasibility study for the choice of equipment. This will make the result accurate and technically sound.
Aesthetics and productivity of a climate system are result of common work
Coordination with interior designers and architects is an important part of making a system that is not only effective but also aesthetically pleasing. Constant contact with designers will also speed up the implementation process - no party will redo their projects and waste their time, and the client will get the best result.
Interaction with "subcontractors" (installers, builders, electricians)
The facility often employs several specialists or companies, each of which has its own area of responsibility. But all zones are most often connected to each other. Alter Air provides specifications and tasks for related specialists, which are in one way or another related to the implementation of our climate systems. This allows you to avoid stagnation in the work process and achieve a better result.
Complex projects for several systems - saving time and nerves
The Alter Air team includes specialists from all climatic areas - ventilation, air conditioning, heating, water purification and water treatment, etc. This allows you to create complex systems projects and integrate systems into each other. This approach is an absolute advantage of our company, because the client can get the implementation of all climatic systems in one company.
The ability to clearly plan the budget for the climate system
Designing will allow you to see the exact estimate before the start of installation work, you can choose a system within the strict limits of the allocated budget. Alter Air offers the client several financial variations of the system in order to choose the most comfortable and suitable one. With the package of documentation, the client will receive a clear understanding of the cost of the project in order to be able to plan their expenses.
Depending on the tasks, the characteristics of the facility, and the budget, the air conditioning system can be implemented in different ways. An important factor in choosing is the location of the indoor unit of the air conditioner: on the wall, in the ceiling space, on the floor, in a niche, etc.
We propose to consider in more detail several options:
Split systems with wall-mounted indoor units are a common type of system in a private house. Having applied one split system for one room, we will get cooling of this particular area. Comfort conditions are also regulated only for this part of the house. Since the windows in the house are located on different sides of the world, it would be advisable to install a couple more split systems.
This type of air conditioning in the house is effective when it is only necessary to establish special comfortable conditions in certain rooms. In the case when the owner of the house is thinking about cooling a large number of rooms and the ability to regulate the microclimate in each room separately, then it is worth paying attention to the fact that several outdoor units from different sides of the house at once spoil its overall appearance. In this case, it is worth considering the following type of system.
For air conditioning of a private or country house based on a split system with wall-mounted indoor units, we recommend the following series of equipment.
A budget option:
Medium Option:
Premium class:
In this case, we have arranged the series of air conditioners according to their pricing policy. When selecting external and internal blocks for the house, specific models are determined based on the required work capacity
A convenient way to cool your home. Several wall-mounted indoor units are connected to one outdoor unit. Thus, the facade of the house is preserved. And several air conditioners can simultaneously cool the necessary rooms. An important point here is the correct selection of the model of the outdoor unit in terms of power.
Recommended series of air conditioners for this type of air system in the house:
Medium Option:
Premium class:
When installing duct air conditioners in a house, you have to remember that for routing air ducts to rooms and installing grilles, it is necessary to allocate space for a false ceiling. In this case, you only see the air distribution grilles. There are also options for air cooling in a house with one powerful duct air conditioner (for example, one unit per floor), or installing separate indoor units for each room separately (if space permits). The disadvantage of using one powerful unit is that there is no possibility of regulating the temperature in each room separately since there is only one control panel. The use of several indoor units of the channel type increases the cost of the system itself, but the expediency of using such a combination is a reasonable decision.
Let's move on from the classic home air conditioning design schemes to more complex ones. The cooling system of the house was built based on a channel-type indoor unit. It is important to understand that for the implementation of such a system, the ceiling space will be used, both for the device itself and the air duct network.
The diagram already contains air ducts, which are responsible for the movement of air, and their competent cross-section provides low noise characteristics of the functioning of the entire system.
Important!
In practice, this scheme is not entirely correct. Here are the main reasons why you should not implement a split system with one internal channel-type unit in your home:
Based on the above, it is not correct to tie air cooling at home on one indoor unit of a duct-type air conditioner.
Our recommendation is to use multi-split systems with several channel-type indoor units.
This solution is considered a premium system. There are several reasons for this:
Alter Air recommends ducted air conditioning in your home if you are looking for comfort, quality, and aesthetics.
We are happy to jointly conduct projects with organizations and self-employed specialists, recommend you to our clients and help with the outsourced engineering part. Additionally, we invite you to attend seminars of the "Engineering in Design" series, where we show by examples how to correctly implement engineering systems in the interiors of end customers.
Become a partnerThe best confirmation of our professionalism is our completed projects
Bringing thermoregulation to life in your home is not as easy as it might seem at first glance. But the benefits to human comfort and health from such a system are enormous and you will appreciate it as soon as you start using it. Ventilation and air conditioning of a private house can be implemented using different equipment. Here we distinguish three price categories:
Reliable, have a lot of functions and the reference quality of their implementation. Such equipment provides the best comfort and long-term performance.
They have fewer functions, but they provide a sufficient level of comfort and reliability, which meets the requirements of a significant part of consumers.
They have basic functions, the most accessible, but the choice of a specific model and manufacturer should be taken seriously, there is a risk of "paying twice"
As for the appearance of the facade of buildings and the design of the rooms themselves, it is better to use multi-split and multi-zone systems with channel-type internal blocks to preserve them. This will allow, using only one outdoor unit (located in a specially designated place/niche), to ensure the maintenance of climatic parameters in the required number of rooms. In this case, the internal duct-type blocks will be hidden in the hemmed area of the ceiling, and only decorative ventilation grilles will be visible in the room.
By contacting Alter Air, you will receive a quality solution for the air conditioning system in the shortest possible time at an affordable price - we are engaged in the sale, installation, and design of air conditioning systems throughout Ukraine.
It should be noted that air conditioning and ventilation in a private house are two systems that perform different functions. Ventilation carries out the supply and removal of air, and the air conditioning system takes air from the room and returns it cooled. They complement each other, creating a favorable microclimate in the house.
The ventilation and air conditioning system in a private house is an important component of coziness and comfort.
We invite you to visit one of our facilities online and appreciate the high quality of our design solutions and installation.
The first meeting takes place in our showroom and lasts 1-1.5 hours. We discuss your wishes, features of the object and the profitability of a particular solution. We show how the equipment implemented in the office works - you will have a clear idea of the implemented engineering systems, their efficiency and ergonomics.
You receive a feasibility study and a commercial offer based on it. It also includes an estimate for the equipment and strapping - you will have the right idea of the budget right from the start. The final cost after drawing up the project can change within 15% up or down.
After agreeing on the commercial offer, the client makes 10% of the advance payment of the total amount. We start designing engineering systems. The developed project is agreed with the client, if necessary, corrections are made. The project is then approved by both parties in writing. You will receive a complete package of project documents.
We deliver and install all the necessary equipment. We effectively integrate it with other systems and interior solutions. We carry out commissioning works. The final launch of the engineering system is carried out in the presence of you and the chief engineer, so that you are convinced of the correct operation of all components.
We carry out warranty and post-warranty maintenance of engineering systems - during the entire period of their operation. We clean and replace filters and accessories. At the request of the client, we can modify the system or optimize it in order to change the performance or save resources.
We solve the problem of microclimate in a house, starting from ventilation, air conditioning, heating and ending with humidification and air purification. We make sure that all systems interact productively with each other and at the same time do not consume a lot of energy in order to save your costs. In our work, we are like a family doctor - we treat your home, analyze a problem, offer solutions to it, and not just sell pills like a pharmacist in a pharmacy.
We chose Alter Air to bring our cool engineering project to build our own home. Now the following systems are installed in the house: heating with a heat pump, underfloor heating, supply and exhaust ventilation with heat recovery, which allows you to keep moisture and easily breathe fresh clean air. The house maintains an excellent temperature of + 22 ° C - no stuffiness and dust. Everything is magical!
I looked at several companies on the Internet and settled on the Alter Air company. After talking with their specialists, I realized that people are very well versed in their business. They sensibly explained how to implement home heating and ventilation correctly and with minimal cost. During my stay in a new house, I have already experienced the operation of these systems, and especially the ease of control. The temperature in the house is comfortable and kept at a given level. The ventilation works inaudibly, but noticeably - with the windows closed in the morning it breathes freely and easily, there is no dust. I am very pleased with the work of Alter Air and I will recommend you as a good performer who does quality work!
When choosing equipment for an air conditioning system at home, pay attention to the following characteristics:
The calculation is made taking into account the following parameters:
A seemingly simple task, in reality, requires a responsible approach, knowledge, and serious calculations. In fact, the “choose an air conditioner for the area” approach does not always work, since the room conditions can make serious adjustments to the requirements for its capacity.
