In detail
What Ducted Air Conditioning Actually Is
A ducted system puts the fan and coil unit up in your roof space, with insulated ducts carrying conditioned air to ceiling vents in each room. One controller runs the lot, and the outdoor unit sits outside as with any refrigerated system.
One system, every room.
Zoning controls the cost.
Reverse cycle heating.
Local knowledge
Which Homes Suit Ducted Aircon Here
This suburb filled in through the 1970s and 1980s, and the single-storey brick and brick-veneer homes on generous blocks are close to ideal for ducted. Wide roof spaces make the duct runs straightforward, and a retrofit is far less disruptive than most people expect.

Cooling and Heating Costs Through an Adelaide Year
Adelaide summers run hot and dry, with heatwaves pushing consecutive days over 40, and a correctly sized ducted system carries that load without the short cycling that wears out undersized installs. Winter matters just as much in this market.

Why Ducted Done Right Matters
A ducted install touches your roof space, your switchboard and your refrigerant. Corners cut in any of those three cost you later, in comfort, in power bills, or in safety.

Common problems
Common Ducted Problems
Ducted setups have their own failure points, and we see the same handful across the foothills every summer:
- Weak airflow from one zone, usually a crushed or disconnected duct
- A system that runs but never cools, often low refrigerant charge or a choked return air filter
- Water marks on the ceiling from a blocked condensate drain
- Odd smells from dust built up in the duct runs
If the cooling has dropped off, start with our page on an air conditioner not cooling or book a repair and we will diagnose it on the spot.

Ducted Air Conditioning Questions
How much does ducted air conditioning cost to install?
It depends on the number of zones, the ducting your roof needs and the outdoor unit position, so we measure first and quote a fixed price before any work starts, with no hourly rates.
Can ducted aircon be retrofitted to an older brick home here?
Yes, most single-storey brick and brick-veneer homes around The Heights School have the roof space for a ducted retrofit, and we check access, duct runs and the switchboard before quoting.
Is ducted better than split systems for a whole house?
Ducted suits families conditioning most rooms at once, while splits cost less when you only use one or two rooms, so we size both options honestly and let the numbers decide.
Does ducted air conditioning heat in winter?
Reverse cycle ducted systems heat as well as cool and carry a cold Adelaide July comfortably, and we can also talk you through ducted gas heating if gas is your preference.
How often should a ducted system be serviced?
Once a year keeps filters, coils and duct runs in shape, ideally before December, because homes across these foothill streets run their systems hard right through to March.
