Who It’s For

Ducted air conditioning is a whole-home system that distributes cooled or heated air through ductwork to multiple rooms, using a central indoor and outdoor unit. It suits homeowners who want consistent comfort without multiple wall units, and it works particularly well in medium to larger homes, family homes with several rooms, and properties where a cleaner finish with discreet vents matters.

Replacing an older ducted system is worth considering if your current setup is noisy, delivers uneven airflow, or has become more expensive to run. A modern system can deliver better control and efficiency when it is sized correctly and designed around your floor plan and how you use your home. If you want steadier comfort across different parts of the house without constantly adjusting settings, ducted can be a practical option, especially when smart controls or zoning are included.

How It Works

Our ducted installation process follows a structured approach to ensure the system is correctly sized, positioned and configured for long-term performance.

Step 1

In-Home Assessment

We inspect the layout, ceiling space, insulation and room sizes to determine the correct system capacity and discuss how you use each area of the home.

Step 2

System Design & Recommendation

Based on the assessment, we recommend the appropriate unit, airflow design and control options suited to your property and budget.

Step 3

Installation & Ducting Setup

Indoor and outdoor units are installed, ductwork is positioned, vents are placed strategically, and control systems are configured.

Step 4

Testing & Commissioning

Airflow is balanced, zones are calibrated where applicable, and the system is tested to ensure it performs as intended.

Step 5

Handover & Guidance

We walk you through system operation, maintenance basics and answer any questions before completion.

Frequently Asked Question

What is zoning?

Zoning allows you to control airflow to selected areas instead of the entire home. It can improve comfort and reduce energy use when some rooms are not in use.

Does ducted air conditioning increase electricity bills?

Running costs depend on system size, usage patterns and zoning. Proper sizing and sensible usage help manage overall energy consumption.

Can I control ducted air conditioning from my phone?

Many modern systems support smart controllers or app-based access, allowing remote temperature adjustments and scheduling.

Can ducted systems be installed in existing homes?

Yes, ducted systems can be retrofitted into many existing homes, provided there is sufficient ceiling or roof space for ducting.

How long does ducted installation take?

Installation time varies based on roof access, home size and system design. Most standard residential installations are completed within one to two days.

What happens during a ducted appraisal?

The home is assessed, measurements are taken and system options are discussed to determine the most suitable setup and configuration.

How long do ducted air conditioning systems last?

With proper installation and regular servicing, a ducted system can typically operate reliably for 10 to 15 years or more.

How often should a ducted system be serviced?

Filters should be checked regularly and servicing is recommended annually to maintain airflow, efficiency and system reliability.

Will ducted air conditioning heat my home as well?

Most modern ducted systems are reverse-cycle, meaning they provide both cooling and heating from the same system.

Can I replace my old ducted system without changing the ducts?

In some cases, existing ductwork can be reused if it is in good condition and compatible with the new system. This is confirmed during inspection.

Is ducted air conditioning better than split systems?

It depends on your home and usage. Ducted systems suit whole-home comfort, while split systems are ideal for conditioning individual rooms or smaller areas.

How do I know what size ducted system I need?

Correct sizing depends on room dimensions, insulation, ceiling height, window exposure and layout. A proper assessment ensures the system performs efficiently without overworking.

Is ducted air conditioning noisy?

A correctly installed and balanced ducted system should operate quietly. Excess noise is usually linked to poor design or ageing components.
