Bulkhead Air Conditioning Explained

A bulkhead air conditioning system is an in-ceiling A/C unit that provides effective cooling without compromising wall or floor space. Unlike ducted air conditioning systems, bulkhead units are designed to blow air horizontally, making them the ideal choice for homes with limited space. Bulkhead air conditioners are a discreet alternative to ducted and split systems. A bulkhead unit can be installed into your ceiling or bulkhead. With only the air grills visible, bulkhead air conditioning units are perfect for homeowners who don’t want to compromise on aesthetics, homes with flat roofs or multiple levels.

Bulkhead air conditioners offer a stylish and efficient cooling solution. Their compact and space-saving design allows for easy and discreet installations, making them ideal for modern minimalist homes and commercial businesses. Bulkhead air conditioner units are designed to be incredibly quiet, minimising noise disturbances.

Bulkhead Air Conditioner Maintenance and Cleaning

Our team of highly trained air conditioning technicians understand the importance of routine maintenance and service for bulkhead systems. Over time, dust, debris and even geckos can accumulate inside your bulkhead unit, impacting its performance and efficiency. During the cooler months, when you are less likely to use your AC, this buildup can retain moisture, creating an ideal environment for bacteria, mould, and other harmful pathogens to thrive. Bulkhead air conditioning requires specialist tools to clean and maintain due to the system's placement and the often limited space around it. Dunn and Williams are the experts when it comes to bulkhead maintenance and cleaning, so give us a call today and experience the difference

Routine maintenance includes:

  • Inspect the bulkhead systems for any wear and tear
  • Inspect the electricals and ensure the safety of the system
  • Inspect the outdoor unit for any damage
  • Air conditioner cleaning
  • Test the refrigerant levels and regas the system if needed
  • Test the indoor thermostat
  • Inspect the electricals and ensure the safety of the system

Bulkhead Air Conditioning Regas

If your bulkhead air conditioner is struggling to cool your space, this could be caused by a leak in your system. When a leak develops in an air conditioning system, it results in the loss of refrigerant, which is responsible for cooling your space by absorbing heat before the air is circulated. This needs to be fully replaced, not just topped up promptly to restore your system's cooling capacity. Bulkhead air conditioners can develop a leak from weakened pipe joints, manufacturing faults, or incorrect installation. Once regassed, your AC will continue to provide the perfect cooling for your space. You'll feel the comfort straight away.
