Buyer’s guide
Ducted Systems, explained.
Whole-home comfort, hidden hardware
A central indoor unit sits in the roof or under the floor, feeding insulated ducts to vents in each room. Inside the home you only see grilles and the controller. Our ducted ranges run from 5kW apartments systems to 25kW.
Zoning is where ducted earns its keep
Zone control (typically 4 or 8 zones on ranges like Daikin’s) lets you condition only the rooms in use. A well-zoned system costs dramatically less to run than one big always-on zone, and modern controllers schedule it all.
What drives a ducted install
Roof-space height, duct run lengths, the number of zones, single versus three phase power and access all shape the job. Daikin’s 245mm Slimline exists precisely for tight ceiling cavities. A ducted install typically takes one to three days; new builds and renovations are the easiest time to do it.

FAQs
Ducted System questions, answered
How long does ducted installation take?
Typically one to three days depending on home size, zones and roof access. In a renovation or new build it integrates far more easily than retrofitting later.
Do I need three phase power for ducted?
Not usually. Most residential ducted systems up to around 17kW run on single phase: Rinnai’s D Series goes to 17kW single phase, with 20 and 24kW units on three phase. Larger ActronAir systems are three phase. We check your power supply from a switchboard photo, or on site if needed.
Can ducted work in a tight roof space?
Often, yes. Low-profile units like Daikin’s 245mm Slimline and Carrier’s 210mm QSM Slim Line are built for shallow cavities. Photos of your roof space tell us quickly.
What size ducted system does my home need?
As a guide, a typical three-bedroom single-storey home lands around 10 to 12.5kW, larger two-storey homes 14 to 20kW. Zoning changes the maths in your favour. Use the calculator or send us a floor plan for a precise number.

Energy & costsDucted air conditioning cost factors: zones, phases and roof space
Capacity, zones, single or three phase, roof space and duct runs set the price of a ducted system, and at 14 kW the models we install are $328 a year apart to run. Here is what moves each one.

Energy & costsDucted or a split in every room: what each costs to run
We priced a four bedroom Sydney house both ways from the official energy figures: a split system in each of its five rooms, or one ducted system of about the same size. With every room on, the splits cost $104 a year less at the efficient end. Here is the house room by room, and why your bill may differ.

Buying guideReplacing ducted air conditioning: what carries over
Usually the ducts and the grilles stay; the indoor and outdoor units, the controller and its cabling come new. Of the 112 registered ducted models in our catalogue, every one is on R32 or R410A, so an R22 system gets new pipes too. Here is what the code asks of a duct worth keeping, what the manuals say about pipes and returns, and how the new unit is matched to the old ducts.
