A residential property requiring air conditioning across five rooms presented a number of installation challenges, including restricted wall space caused by the eaves of the building. Newton Electrical and Mechanical Ltd designed and installed a bespoke, fully tailored Daikin air conditioning system throughout the property, specifying the most appropriate unit type for each room’s unique constraints. The result is a discreet, high-quality installation that delivers reliable heating and cooling to every key space in the home.
Newton Electrical and Mechanical Ltd is a specialist in the design and installation of air conditioning systems for residential and commercial properties. With a strong reputation for delivering technically sound solutions and a consistently high standard of finish, Newton Electrical and Mechanical Ltd works closely with clients to ensure every installation is both functional and in keeping with the property. This case study highlights how the team approached a whole-home air conditioning project that required careful planning, considered unit selection, and a discreet approach to pipework and trunking throughout.
The client required air conditioning across five rooms in a residential property: three bedrooms, a kitchen, and a lounge. While the scope of the project was straightforward in principle, the property itself presented a number of practical challenges that ruled out a standard, off-the-shelf approach.
The primary obstacle was the roof structure. In one of the bedrooms, the eaves of the property significantly restricted the available wall space, making a conventional high-wall mounted unit impractical. This is a common issue in older or characterful homes, where the architecture does not always accommodate modern HVAC equipment in the usual way. Without a considered solution, the room would have been left without adequate coverage.
Beyond the structural constraints, the client also had clear expectations around the aesthetic finish of the installation. The property had a particular character, and the routing of pipework and trunking needed to be handled with care to ensure the completed installation sat sympathetically within the space. A poorly planned or visually intrusive finish was simply not acceptable.
The combination of architectural restrictions and high aesthetic standards required a contractor capable of thinking beyond standard solutions and specifying equipment and methods that were genuinely suited to the individual demands of each room.
Newton Electrical and Mechanical Ltd carried out a thorough site assessment before specifying the system, ensuring that every room received the most appropriate solution for its size, layout, and structural constraints.
Where the eaves prevented a wall-mounted installation, Newton Electrical and Mechanical Ltd specified a Daikin low-level floor-mounted console unit. This unit type is designed precisely for situations where wall space is limited, sitting neatly at floor level and delivering the same performance as a wall-mounted alternative. The result is a fully functional air conditioning solution in a room that would have otherwise been difficult to serve, with no compromise on output or appearance.
In the two remaining bedrooms, where the wall space permitted a standard installation, 5kW wall-mounted Daikin units were installed. These units are well-suited to bedroom-sized spaces, providing efficient and quiet heating and cooling throughout the year.
The kitchen and lounge, being larger spaces with greater demand, were each served by 7kW wall-mounted Daikin units. The increased output ensures these rooms can be brought to a comfortable temperature efficiently, even during periods of peak heat.
Throughout the property, anthracite trunking was carefully sourced to provide an exact colour match for the window frames, ensuring the pipework and cabling blended seamlessly with the existing fabric of the building. Rather than accepting a standard or approximate finish, Newton Electrical and Mechanical Ltd took the time to find the right product, keeping the overall appearance precise, cohesive, and fully in keeping with the character of the home.
A dedicated electrical supply was provided for all units, including all necessary cabling, RCBOs, and isolators, ensuring the system is safe, compliant, and correctly supported from a power perspective. The outdoor Daikin condenser units were installed neatly against the exterior of the property, maintaining a tidy and professional finish both inside and out.
The property now benefits from reliable, year-round heating and cooling across all five key rooms. Each space is served by a correctly sized Daikin unit, selected specifically for the demands and constraints of that room.
The installation has been completed to a high standard throughout. The sourcing of anthracite trunking to achieve an exact colour match with the window frames, combined with the considered selection of unit types, means the system integrates well with the property and does not detract from its character. The floor-mounted console unit in Bedroom 1 demonstrates that even where standard installation options are not available, a practical and equally effective alternative can always be found.
This project is a clear example of what sets Newton Electrical and Mechanical Ltd apart. Rather than approaching a property with a fixed method and working around any obstacles as an afterthought, the team begins every project by understanding the specific requirements and constraints of each space. Where a standard high-wall mount was not possible, a floor-mounted unit was specified without hesitation. Where aesthetics were a priority, anthracite trunking was carefully sourced to achieve an exact colour match with the window frames, rather than treated as an afterthought.
The ability to design and deliver bespoke air conditioning systems, even in properties that present structural or aesthetic challenges, is central to Newton Electrical and Mechanical Ltd’s offering. Using Daikin equipment throughout ensures that clients benefit from reliable, high-quality technology, backed by a trusted manufacturer.
