Ducted air conditioning is a centralised system designed to cool or heat your entire home or commercial space through a series of ducts. One powerful unit — typically hidden in the ceiling or under the floor — distributes air through ducts to multiple rooms via vents.
✅ It’s the go-to solution for whole-home climate control in Canberra.
Whether you’re building new or retrofitting, ducted systems are the invisible heroes of home comfort.
Canberra experiences a wide range of temperatures — from frosty -4°C mornings to scorching 40°C days. You need a system that can handle both ends of the spectrum with ease. Here’s why ducted systems shine:
❄️ Powerful cooling and heating for the whole house
🔇 Whisper-quiet operation
🎯 Zoning options to control different rooms independently
🏡 Discreet vents, keeping your interiors sleek
💰 Long-term energy savings
In a climate like Canberra’s, ducted air conditioning is an investment in year-round comfort.
Ducted systems consist of:
Indoor Unit (usually in the ceiling)
Outdoor Compressor
Flexible Ductwork
Vents/Grilles
Zoning Controls (optional)
The indoor unit draws air in, cools or heats it, and sends it through ducts to each room. The thermostat or smart controller lets you fine-tune temperature settings across your home.
