Get whole home comfort for you and your family.

A single ducted air conditioning system heats and cools your entire home, keeping every room comfortable without needing multiple units. Imagine the ease of setting one temperature for the whole house. 

Discreet design for your modern home

The ductwork is hidden away in your ceiling or walls, so you won’t have bulky units cluttering your windows or precious wall space. This keeps your home looking sleek and stylish. It makes ducted air conditioning the more effective for space savings designs. 

Cooling zoning for maximum efficiency

Our ducted air conditioning systems allow you to create zones with separate thermostats. This means you only heat or cool the rooms you’re using. Get full control over your air conditioning and save yourself money on energy bills each month.

Heating and cooling in one for Melbourne's climate

We offer ducted air conditioning units that offer both cooling and heating. This helps by providing year-round comfort without needing a separate heating system. Especially since Melbourne’s summers can be very hot, and the winters can get very cold.

How does ducted air conditioning work?

Ducted air conditioning acts like a giant thermostat that keeps it cool. Warm air gets sucked inside, then a special liquid chills it down. This heat is then pushed outside, and the cool air is circulated throughout your home, keeping you comfortable.

Breakdown of how ducted air conditioning works through your Melbourne home.

Air intake and filtration

Your ducted system starts by drawing warm air from inside your home through vents located in various rooms. This air travels through the ductwork to the indoor unit. Here, a filter traps dust, pollen, and other airborne particles, ensuring cleaner air circulation throughout your house.

Heat removal

The filtered air then passes over a cold evaporator coil filled with refrigerant. As the warm air comes in contact with the cold coil, heat is absorbed from the air, causing it to cool down. The refrigerant itself also plays a key role, changing from a liquid to a gas as it absorbs the heat.

Heat transfer and disposal

The refrigerant carrying the absorbed heat then travels through pipes to the outdoor unit. This hot gas passes through another coil, where a fan blows outside air over it. The hot refrigerant transfers its heat to the outside air, removing the heat from your home.

Cool air distribution

The cool air travels back inside through the indoor unit and gets blown by a fan through the ductwork and vents, distributing cool comfort throughout your home. This cycle continues as long as your air conditioner is running, maintaining your desired cool temperature.
