Ducted air conditioning in Berwick

Request a quote for ducted refrigerated cooling or a ducted reverse cycle system for the whole home. If you already have gas ducted heating, ask whether add-on cooling can work with it. The installer assesses equipment positions, ductwork and controls before quoting.

What’s involved

Mark the living and sleeping areas on a simple plan. Tell the installer when you use them and ask how the new zones would work in practice.

Ask where the indoor and outdoor equipment would go and how it would be accessed later. Include these locations in the proposal before agreeing to the work.

If you already have ducted heating, ask whether the proposal works with it or replaces it. Request a written explanation of the ductwork and controls included.

Can I add cooling to my existing gas ducted heating?

In many homes it can. Add-on cooling fits a cooling coil at the gas heater and connects it to an outdoor unit, so one set of ducts and outlets handles your ducted heating and cooling. It needs ducts that are large enough and well enough insulated to carry cool air, a heater that suits the coil, and space at the heater for the coil.

If the ducts are undersized, damaged or poorly insulated, or the heater is near the end of its life, a ducted reverse cycle system may be the better choice. It heats and cools from one outdoor unit and replaces the gas heater. Ask the installer to explain both options for your home before you compare prices.

Replacing the gas heater instead

How long does a ducted installation take, and what happens on the day?

The installer confirms the timing for your home in the quote. It depends on the size of the system, the roof access and whether existing ducts are being reused.

The work usually covers placing the indoor unit in the roof space or under the floor, running and connecting the ducts, setting the outdoor unit on its base or brackets, cutting in the outlets and return air grille, and fitting the wall controller and any zone controls.

Before the day, ask where each outlet, the return air grille and the outdoor unit will go. Clear a path to the manhole and to the outdoor unit position.

Useful answers

Frequently asked questions

Should I choose ducted cooling or a split system?

Start with the rooms you need to heat or cool. Whole home air conditioning through ducts suits a home where most rooms need it, with zones to choose which areas run. A split system serves one room or open-plan area and is usually a smaller job. Our split system installation page covers that option.

What are the disadvantages of ducted air conditioning?

It is a bigger installation than a split system. It needs roof or underfloor space for the indoor unit and ducts, and the whole home relies on one outdoor unit, so a fault affects every room. Ducts installed for heating may need changes before they can carry cooling.

Can a ducted aircon be installed under the floor?

Some ducted systems can run through the subfloor, depending on the clearance under the house and the equipment. Cooling outlets are more often in the ceiling. Ask the installer which layout suits your home.

What does ducted air conditioning cost to install?

It depends on the system capacity, how many zones you want, whether existing ducts can be reused and how easy the roof or underfloor access is. Send a floor plan and details of your current heating so the quote can cover the full job.

Does refrigerated cooling also provide heating?

Add-on refrigerated cooling only cools, and your gas heater keeps doing the heating. A ducted reverse cycle system does both. Ask the installer to state the functions of the exact system proposed in the quote.

Can existing ductwork be reused?

That needs an assessment. Ask the installer to explain what can be reused and what needs replacing.

What helps an installer prepare a quote?

A floor plan, room-use notes and details of existing heating equipment are a useful starting point.
