The detail

What goes into a ducted air conditioning installation

Ducted reverse cycle gives you cooling in summer and heating in winter from one system, controlled room by room if it is zoned properly. The equipment matters less than the design, because a well designed system in a modest brand will outperform a premium unit that was sized and ducted badly.

  1. Heat load calculationWe calculate the load for the areas being conditioned, allowing for glazing, insulation, ceiling height and orientation. This determines capacity, and it is where most underperforming systems went wrong.
  2. Indoor and outdoor unit placementThe indoor fan coil usually sits in the roof space and needs access for servicing. The outdoor unit needs airflow and sensible placement for noise, especially near bedroom windows or a neighbour's boundary.
  3. Zoning designZones let you condition the living areas by day and bedrooms at night. On a ducted system this is the main control you have over running cost, and it should be planned at design rather than added later.
  4. Ducting and outletsDuct sizing and outlet placement decide whether every room actually reaches temperature. Long runs to the far end of the house need to be accounted for properly.
  5. Electrical, controller and commissioningWe confirm the switchboard can carry the load, install the controller, then commission and balance the airflow across every zone.

Common questions

Is ducted reverse cycle cheaper to run than gas ducted heating?

In most Victorian homes now, yes, and the Victorian Energy Upgrades program contributes toward replacing an old gas heater with an efficient reverse cycle system. We will quote both so you can compare properly.

How many zones do I need?

Most homes work well with living areas, bedrooms and sometimes a separate zone for a master or a rumpus. More zones give finer control, and there is a point past which the extra complexity is not worth it.

Do I need three phase power?

Many larger systems run comfortably on single phase. We check your switchboard and supply at the quote so there are no surprises on installation day.

How long does the installation take?

A straightforward replacement is often a single day. A new installation with full ducting and zoning generally takes two.

"We have had Efficient Air install 4 Hisense reverse cycle units over the last 12 months. Each time had been a trouble free experience. Jason and Kelly have been great to deal with. The installation crews have been on time and completed their work without fuss."

"I have always had a great experience when needing services and products from Efficient Air. I have had split systems and radiators from them and the service has been very good. The split system keeps us cool in summer and warm in winter which is what we need right now in Melbourne!"

Setting a home air conditioner to 21 degrees with a wall-mounted split system running in the background

Will your place cope with the first 38 degree day?

Four things worth checking now, while there is still time to do something about them. Two of these are a service, not a new system, and we will tell you which one you are looking at.

  • It struggles once the day passes 35 degrees.A system that cools fine in spring but never quite gets there in a heatwave is usually undersized for the space rather than faulty.
  • Some rooms never cool down.Normally a zoning or ductwork problem, not a reason to replace the whole system. Worth having someone look before you spend.
  • It has not been serviced since last summer.Filters and coils that have sat through winter are the most common reason a system underperforms on the first hot day.
  • It is more than ten years old.Older units lose capacity and cost more to run each summer. That is the point where replacing can be cheaper than another repair.
