FAQ
What is ducted air conditioning and how does it work?
Ducted air conditioning is a centralised cooling and heating system designed to control the climate of an entire home or commercial space. It consists of an indoor unit (typically installed in the roof space), an outdoor compressor, and a network of ducts that deliver conditioned air through vents in each room. The system draws in air, cools or heats it as needed, and circulates it evenly across the property. Many ducted systems come with zoning capabilities, allowing different areas to be cooled or heated independently using wall-mounted controllers or smart devices. Ducted systems are known for their discreet appearance, quiet operation, and ability to maintain a consistent indoor temperature throughout the day.
How much does ducted air conditioning cost to install?
The cost of installing ducted air conditioning varies depending on the size of the home or building, the number of zones, and the complexity of the installation. For an average single-storey home, installation can range from $7,000 to $15,000 or more. Larger properties or systems with advanced zoning, smart controls, or high-efficiency models may cost upwards of $20,000. Factors that affect the final price include ceiling height, roof access, ductwork length, electrical requirements, and insulation quality. While the initial investment is higher than for split systems, ducted air conditioning offers the benefit of whole-home comfort and can add long-term value to the property.
Are ducted air conditioning systems energy efficient?
Modern ducted air conditioning systems can be very energy efficient, especially when equipped with inverter technology and zoning capabilities. Inverter systems adjust the compressor’s speed to maintain a consistent temperature, reducing power consumption compared to older models. Zoning allows users to cool only the rooms they are using, helping to reduce running costs significantly. However, efficiency also depends on correct sizing, proper duct installation, insulation, and how the system is used. Regular servicing ensures the unit continues to perform at its best. For optimal results, it’s important to choose a system that’s tailored to the building’s layout and cooling needs.
