Ducted air conditioning is probably the quietest and most versatile of all aircon systems. They are ideal for homes, open-plan offices, shops, schools, restaurants and any other large spaces that require balanced air distribution around the room. Ducted AC units are often the most practical choice for cooling or heating larger areas that are beyond the reach or capacity of wall mounted units which can struggle to provide an even air distribution across large spaces.
Ducted aircon systems can be retro-fitted. However, they are best installed as part of a building project / refurbishment where we can plan and work alongside your architect (or builder) to ensure that there is sufficient space within the ceiling void or above the suspended ceiling to accommodate the hidden ducted unit.
It is important to note that you don’t have individual control of each grille on a ducted system. The whole system is either ‘On’ or ‘Off’. For this reason, we recommend that you don’t use a ducted system to cool multiple rooms where people may want different temperatures. If you still wish to achieve the aesthetic advantages offered by a ducted system, we would recommend installing multiple ducted systems within your ceiling which will give each user individual control over the temperature settings for their room. This will help avoid those inevitable temperature disputes!
