Ducted air conditioning for the whole home

Ducted air conditioning consists of an outdoor compressor unit and an indoor unit concealed in the ceiling. Ducting runs to each room, with different zones so each room can be turned off separately. Even with a large outdoor unit, running only one or two rooms means the unit doesn’t run at full capacity — saving you money.

  • Concealed ceiling unit with zoned room control
  • On-site inspection to size the system correctly
  • MyAir5 smart control from your phone
  • Round, square and grille diffuser options

Designed around your home

Each ducted system we install starts with an on-site inspection for measurements, to find the correct capacity and understand what you want to achieve. We have multiple diffuser types available — round, square, grilles and more — so the outlets suit each room.

MyAir5 smart control

Standard on/off controlling is available, but we specialise in MyAir5. With MyAir you get full control of your ducted system — different temperatures in each room, adjustable airflow, and control from your phone on the comfort of your couch. You can also add wireless temperature sensors, or vary airflow to each zone in 5% increments.

Ducted Air Conditioning FAQ

Your ducted air conditioning questions, answered

How does ducted air conditioning work?+
Ducted air conditioning consists of an outdoor compressor unit and an indoor unit concealed in the ceiling. Ducting runs from the indoor unit to each room, and zones let you turn rooms off separately. The result is discreet, whole-home cooling with just air outlets visible in the ceiling rather than units on the walls.
What is zoning and why does it matter?+
Zoning lets you control which rooms the system is conditioning. Even with a large outdoor unit sized for the whole house, running only one or two rooms means the unit does not run at full capacity, which saves energy. Zones are managed from one central control, and with MyAir you can fine-tune airflow and temperature room by room.
What is MyAir5?+
MyAir5 is a smart control system for ducted air conditioning that we specialise in. It gives you full control of the system — different temperatures in different rooms, adjustable airflow, and on/off control from your phone. You can also add wireless temperature sensors in each room, or vary airflow to each zone in five percent increments.
Do you inspect the home before installing ducted?+
Yes. Every ducted system we install starts with an on-site inspection so we can take measurements, work out the correct capacity and understand what you want to achieve. Ducted is a whole-home system, so designing it properly from the start is the difference between even, comfortable cooling and a system that struggles.
What sort of outlets and diffusers are available?+
We have multiple diffuser types available, including round, square and grille styles, so the outlets can suit the look of each room. We will talk through the options during the design stage so the finished ceiling looks the way you want while still delivering good airflow.
How much does ducted air conditioning cost to run?+
Running cost depends on how many rooms are zoned and in use at the time. As a general guide, a ducted system costs in the order of a few dollars per hour to run depending on the number of zones operating. Because zoning lets you condition only the rooms you are using, sensible use of zones is the main way to keep running costs reasonable.
How do I get started with a ducted installation?+
Contact us and we will arrange an on-site inspection. From the measurements and a conversation about what you want to achieve, we design a system to suit the home and provide a quote. That way the proposal reflects your actual house rather than a generic estimate.
