What is Ducted Air Conditioning?
Often referred to as central air conditioning, ducted air conditioners are systems that can cool and heat your entire workplace or home. They consist of both indoor and outdoor units, with the former most typically being hidden within the building’s roof space.
For the interchangeable Melbourne climate, ducted reverse cycle systems are regarded as being one of the most energy-efficient cooling systems to run, given that they absorb heat rather than create it.
Whole Home Coverage for Consistent Comfort
What makes ducted air conditioning systems such a popular option among our customers is that they provide them with complete temperature control, which ensures they can consistently cool and heat their property.
As its name implies, this type of air conditioner is connected to every room in your residence or workplace through a network of ducts and vents that are concealed within the roof.
The outdoor unit directs cold or hot air into the property, while the indoor unit channels it down the ducts to cool or heat every room evenly. This controls the temperature of all your living spaces and reduces the likelihood of cold or hot spots developing in patches.
Efficient Heating and Cooling Powered by Electricity
Ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning systems are powered by electricity and provide you with the dual functionality of cooling or heating your home efficiently through one energy-efficient piece of technology.
A significant benefit of this ability is that it allows for greater climate control, which is extremely helpful for maintaining comfortable temperatures throughout your home or workplace.
Works Seamlessly with Solar Power
One of the best things about installing ducted air conditioners in your home or office is that they can be integrated with solar energy systems.
Doing this gives you even greater operational efficiency and reduced costs because the system operates on DC power from the solar panels. This ensures you can draw upon a plentiful supply of clean and free energy.
How Does Ducted Air Conditioning Work?
A ducted heating and cooling split system works in a very efficient way, starting with cool air being produced by a condensing unit or compressor that is stationed in an outdoor area of your building. This unit is connected to a fan coil apparatus located within the property’s roof.
Running throughout the premises is a series of ductwork that pours out cool air through vents that regulate the temperature in each room. Through thermostats, the temperature can provide heating and cooling as required to cope with the challenging conditions that the Melbourne weather can throw up.
Ducted Air Conditioning System Options
Premium Ducted Systems from Leading Brands
There are a handful of leading brands of ducted refrigerated air conditioning available on the market in Australia. Some popular household names include Daikin, Samsung, Mitsubishi Electric, Braemer by Seeley, Fujitsu, Carrier, and Panasonic.
At Efficient Pure Plumbing, we offer a wide range of ducted reverse-cycle heating and cooling systems to suit varying budgets and requirements. So, rest assured, we’ll help you find the most appropriate and best system to maximise the comfort levels in each of your individual rooms.
Inverter Technology for Energy Efficiency
Most ducted system air conditioning brands feature inverter technology. This is notable for using a variable-frequency drive (VFD), which cleverly maintains a consistent room temperature by automatically adjusting the compressor’s speed.
As the room temperature rises, it produces more cool air, therefore helping to keep you warm or cool. This technology uses much less energy than ducted heating or cooling systems fitted with older motors that either stop or run at maximum speed.
Cost of Ducted Air Conditioners
Factors Impacting Installation Costs of Split Systems
For our Melbourne customers, the cost of installing a ducted home air conditioning system depends on several factors.
Some aspects that influence the cost are the size of your home, what zoning requirements might be enforced by the local council, and the Energy Star ratings of your dual heating system and cooling solutions. Additionally, whether you live in a single-story or multi-level property will affect the price.
From our comprehensive range, our courteous and professional team will provide a complete quote based on competitive pricing for the best split system air conditioner to suit your needs.
They will also advise you on your eligibility for the VEU Rebate (aka Victorian energy upgrade program), interest-free finance, and any other government rebate that might be applicable. If you already have a written quote, ask us to compare it. We focus on beating it on value, not just price alone.
Ongoing Running Costs and Energy Efficiency
After it has been installed, you will incur some running costs for your ducted refrigerated air conditioning system.
Like with installation, the amount will vary depending on various factors, such as how much insulation you have in the property, what the energy ratings of your split system are, how big your rooms are, and how frequently you use the system.
As part of our great service, we can advise on ways you can save money by reducing your operational costs and improving your system’s energy efficiency.
