What a Ducted System Actually Is

One outdoor unit, one indoor unit in the roof, and vents in the ceiling of every room you want covered. A controller on the wall runs the lot.

Reverse cycle ducted heats as well as cools, which matters through an Adelaide winter. Ducted gas heating is a separate setup, and we cover that on its own ducted gas heating page.

Who Ducted Air Conditioning Suits Here

Most of this suburb is single-storey brick-veneer detached homes on standard blocks, built from the mid-1960s through the 1970s. That stock is genuinely good ducted territory, with one catch.

Even coverage.

Ducted suits households wanting steady temperatures across the whole floor plan, especially families with bedrooms at both ends of the house.

One controller.

Instead of a remote per room, you set one temperature and the system holds it everywhere you have zoned.

The roof catch.

Low-set roof cavities from that era were not designed around duct runs, so the cavity gets measured before anything is quoted. Some homes have ample clearance, others are tight, and the difference shows up in the labour.

For homes where the cavity will not cooperate, a pair of split systems often does the same job for less.

Running Costs Through the Adelaide Year

Ducted is the biggest system in the house, so it pays to know what it costs to run before you commit.

Zoning is the big lever.

Cooling only the rooms you are using, rather than the whole floor plan, cuts running hours substantially. A zoning plan designed around how you actually live matters more than the brand badge.

Heatwave load is real.

Consecutive days over 40 push the system for weeks at a time, and an efficiently zoned setup handles that run far cheaper than a poorly designed one.

Winter runs the same hardware.

Reverse cycle ducted heats at a fraction of the cost of plug-in heaters, which is why it earns its keep through cold Adelaide winters, not just summer.

Why It Matters: Comfort, Cost and Compliance

A ducted install is the largest air conditioning decision most homes make, and the details carry weight.

Comfort.

Even temperatures through every room beat a wall unit struggling at the end of a long hallway.

Cost.

A system sized and zoned correctly runs cheaper for fifteen years or more. One sized by guesswork costs you every billing quarter.

Compliance.

Ducted work involves refrigerant handling, and all our work is carried out under a full ARC refrigeration and air conditioning licence, ARC Licence L162586, RAC01 - Full Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Licence.

Longevity.

Annual servicing keeps ducting sealed, filters clear and the compressor from running long cycles it was never designed for.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Ducted Systems

Can a 1960s brick-veneer home here take ducted?

Usually yes, because the single-storey layouts and standard blocks suit it, though low-set roof cavities from the era need proper measuring first, which we do before quoting.

Is ducted more expensive to run than split systems?

It can be, but zoning changes that equation, because cooling only the rooms you use through a heatwave run often costs less than running several splits at once.

How long does a ducted install take?

Most single-storey homes here are a one to two day job once the quote is approved, with testing and a full controller walkthrough on the last day.

Do you offer finance for a ducted install?

Yes, Humm interest-free finance is available for larger jobs, and ducted is exactly the kind of job it suits, alongside the $50 off first service offer.

Do you service existing ducted systems?

We do, including repairs, cleaning and zoning upgrades on systems we did not install, all carried out under our full ARC refrigeration and air conditioning licence.
