Lacool was established in 1992 - whilst during the seventies, the management were innovators and product developers of the "add-on air conditioning" concept, now an established industry and which is continually expanding in popularity and found widely in Victoria, the Act and areas of southern New South Wales and South Australia.

The Company is based in Melbourne and a trade supplier of ducted air conditioning units and matching evaporators.  Our office and warehouse is located in Oakleigh, centrally in the Melbourne metropolitan area.

We cater for pick-up as well as on-site delivery, and times can be pre-booked to suit crane appointments.

Our models are available in reverse cycle and cooling-only configuration and feature R22 (suit retrofit) as well as 410A refrigerants. 

Lacool air conditioners are MEPS compliant. (minimum Energy Efficiency Standards)

Activities

Trade Sales and Service: Lacool split system ducted air conditioners are available as reverse cycle and cooling-only units. Lacool also supplies universal add-on evaporators (cooling coils) and DX fan coils, gas fired central heaters, system design and technical advice,  electrical control circuit design and advice, all backed up by technical support and renowned after sales service

Spare Parts, including parts for Australian manufactured Uniaire units are readily available.

Retrofit: R22 equipment for retrofitting where component replacement costs are prohibitive or or parts inaccessible, like concealed refrigerant piping.  A direct replacement refrigerant, R417a is available as a replacement for R22, suitable for new equipment and as a drop-in replacement for existing systems.  It requires no changes and uses the existing mineral oil.

Clean natural Gas is the preferred heating fuel in Victoria as well as Southern NSW, South Australia and Tasmania because it is the clean, economically preferred fuel and more environmentally friendly. It is used in thousands of residential as well as commercial ducted heating systems. This type of system can be designed to include refrigerated air conditioning originally, or adapted at a future date.  Lacool is a well known and technically superior trade-only supplier to this ever expanding market.

The concept employs a 'cooling only' air conditioning unit, in either single or three phase, with matching evaporator (cooling coil), installed in a 'split system' configuration.  These two components, when installed with ancillary refrigerant piping and controls, form a refrigerated cooling system that can be added to many new or existing gas fired ducted heating systems.  This then becomes a total comfort system, providing economical gas fired ducted heating in winter and humidity reducing refrigerated air conditioning in summer through the one ducted system.  This method results in reduced green house gas emissions compared with reverse cycle air conditioning as the electric compressor in add-on cooling systems is only used during the cooling cycle.  In this configuration the service life of the compressor is much increased, whilst its annual electric power consumption is greatly reduced.  The heating cycle uses clean natural gas.

The Lacool designed Evaporator range includes a corrosion proof polyethylene cabinet fitted with a low profile and low static cooling coil.  Installation is a breeze as roofing structures and sub floor joists do not need to be dismantled because the cabinet design allows for sliding the unit in between them.  The Lacool ad-on coils can be matched to a variety of air conditioning units.
