Is a Ducted Air Conditioning System right for you?
Installing ducted air conditioning is probably more affordable than you’d expect, but it’s perfectly reasonable to want assurance that your upfront investment will pay off. If you’re weighing up whether a ducted system suits your needs, consider giving our team a call. With just a few straightforward questions, our team can offer recommendations for the ideal air conditioning solution for your home.
There are a few occasions when a ducted air conditioning system is simply the best solution.
- Bigger homes and multistorey buildings: We always recommend ducted systems for larger homes (more than 2 rooms) and multi-story buildings as they can more efficiently distribute air throughout multiple rooms and floors when compared to split systems.
- Open Plan Layouts: For homes and businesses with open-plan designs, ducted systems are able to cool and heat more uniformly, leaving no cold air pockets. A split system will not be able to achieve this efficiently.
- You want whole-home comfort: If you are looking for a solution that can cool or heat the entire house uniformly, a ducted system is the only solution that will meet the requirements.
- You plan to live in your home long term: Consider how often and how long the system will be used. Ducted systems are more cost-effective than split systems over the long term for regular and extensive use. Once your system is a few years old, you’ll easily save more than you spent on installation. As Darryl Kerrigan would say – “paid for itself”.
- Initial Investment vs. Running Costs: Ducted systems generally have a higher upfront cost compared to split systems. However, their efficiency can lead to lower running costs, especially in larger homes and open spaces. If you only plan to use the unit a few weeks a year on especially hot days, then you may not benefit from the lower running costs as much, short term.
- Future Home Plans: If there are plans to expand the home or change its layout, a ducted system offers the flexibility to adapt to these changes with relative ease. Additionally, the initial investment is paid off by your long-term savings in energy efficiency with the added benefit of adding value to your home!

Ducted air conditioning and how it works.
A ducted reverse cycle system consists of a unit that sits inside your ceiling and one that sits outside. The only visible components are the vents in the ceiling that deliver the air.
Rather that having a split system air conditioning unit for each room or area, ducted air conditioning is designed to distribute air throughout the whole house via one system. You can however, still zone your areas to improve the efficiency of the system and ensure you are not cooling or heating un-occupied rooms.
Made up of only 5 core components, installing a ducted reverse cycle system is simpler and cheaper than you might think, especially in the long run.
This unit houses the fan unit that distributes air around the house.
The size of this unit will be determined based upon the size of your home.
Insulated tubing that delivers the air from the indoor unit to the individual rooms. Poor ducting can mean the heat in your ceiling will make your system work harder.
Diffusers are the vents that deliver the air into the rooms. There are many different shapes and sizes to suit the purpose of the room.
Zone control is the key to the systems efficiency. Each room can be controlled independently using dampers so energy is not wasted cooling or heating un-occupied rooms.
What size ducted air Conditioner do you need?
To find the right sized ducted air conditioner for a house, we multiply the house’s living area in square meters by a specific wattage number. This wattage number depends on your ceiling height. For the standard Perth home with 2.4m high ceilings, use 150 watts.
Living Area (sqm) x 150 watts = Total watts needed.
Here is an estimate of what sized AC you will need for 3 common block sizes.
- 150 sqm house: 22.5 KW
- 185 sqm house: 27.75 KW
- 200 sqm house: 30 KW
Why Choose Ducted Air-conditioning Over a Split System?
With over 80% of homes, especially single storey homes we would generally recommend the one ducted reverse cycle system over several split systems, here are some reasons why:
Smaller Size
Households and business owners are forever looking at ways of saving space and improving their visual aesthetic. Ducted systems negate the need for multiple wall units to be installed throughout your property, giving you more internal space and control over your interior design.
Cheaper Running Cost
Worried about rising energy bills? If you are heating more than one room, a ducted system will better fit a range of budgets than a split system in each room. This applies to both cost of the units and running costs.
Quieter Operation
Just a single outdoor compressor/condenser unit hidden away, meaning less noise when active.
Adds Property Value
Air conditioning is a great long term investment to increase the value of your property.
Reduced Maintenance
With just one outdoor condensing unit to monitor as opposed to multiple units, you will save time and money on maintenance costs.
Energy Efficient
If your home is large enough for two split systems, a ducted system will usually provide more efficiency.
