Ducted Air Conditioning Installation

A ducted air-conditioning installer should assess the home before selecting a system, duct routes, outlets and zones. Share your floor plan, roof-space access, rooms to condition and whether heating is needed. The local air-conditioning listings below are a starting point; confirm residential ducted installation experience, refrigerant authorisation and electrical coordination, then compare system specifications and written inclusions.

    Describe your job

    Get a design for your house

    Ask how the installer will size the system for the house, assess roof or underfloor routes, position the outdoor unit and plan return air and zoning. A wall-split quote does not describe a ducted installation.

    Confirm whether any building, strata or acoustic requirements apply at your address. Refrigerant handling and electrical tasks must be done by appropriately authorised workers.

    Compare ducted installation proposals

    Request make and model, capacity, number and location of outlets, duct and insulation specification, zoning controls, electrical supply, penetrations, commissioning, cleanup, warranties and GST. Ask which exclusions could change the final price.

    Good questions. Plain answers.

    Is ducted air conditioning different from a split system?

    Yes. Ducted systems distribute conditioned air through ductwork and outlets; a wall split conditions its room or zone directly.

    Can any air-conditioning business install ducted systems?

    Check ducted project experience, refrigerant authorisation and how required electrical work is handled.
