Your questions about residential air conditioning have been answered
Installation for ducted AC is more expensive. However, ducted air conditioning can be more cost-effective to run. New air conditioners with ducts usually divide the house into zones, and it is cheaper to operate than the other air conditioners. Split AC systems are cheaper to install. However, they only cover a small area compared to a duct system, so they are best for smaller properties.
In both new and existing homes,installation of duct air conditioningis an excellent choice for replacement or initial installation. Your home or office will never suffer from hot or cold spots again after installing a ductAir conditioning. With zone management, purified air is distributed evenly to the required areas and runs smoothly, efficiently and quietly.
When it comes to installing air conditioning ducts in an existing home, it is usually still a fairly easy process. Some questions arise, such as Is the home single- or multi-storey and how much space is there in the attic space?
It is initially more relevant to install, but central air conditioning controls the climate throughout the home and offers higherenergy efficiency-a key component that can mean money back in your pocket with duct systems.
Characteristics of pitched ceilings can make it more difficult to install modern heating and cooling systems. Fortunately, there are ways to navigate their quirks to enjoy temperature control in your home.
Our In House Mechanical Engineer makes it possible for us design tailor-made solutions to ensure that your space is comfortably climate-controlled. We use all the knowledge and experience from our commercial projects to design super efficient residential systems and install them with very high quality standards.

FAQs
Is split system or ducted better? ›
Energy efficiency: If you only need to heat or cool a specific area, then split systems are generally more energy efficient than ducted systems. That's because you don't need to waste energy heating or cooling rooms you're not using.
Which is cheaper to run ducted or split system? ›Split system vs ducted air conditioning: the conclusion
If you're interested in gross running costs alone, then split systems are the way to go. They are cheap to buy, cheap to install, and cheap to run when compared to their ducted counterparts.
Leakages are one of the most common split AC problems. The refrigerant (AC gas, as commonly known) is main contributor to the cooling of the air.
What is the difference between a ducted split unit and a split unit? ›Split Systems are very effective for small and single rooms. A larger 8kw unit will be needed for effective cooling in a larger room. Ducted air conditioning is better to cover large areas and for controlling even temperature throughout the entire house.
What uses more electricity ducted or split? ›In most cases, split system air conditioners will consume less energy than ducted systems.
What is the price of ducted split? ›For small homes, the ducted split system cost is between $9000 to $10,000. For average homes (approx. 235.8m2), the cost is between $10,000 to 14,000.
Does split AC increase home value? ›Sealing or even replacing traditional ductwork can be a costly endeavor for existing and prospective homeowners, so ductless mini splits increase the value of a home by eliminating this home improvement project and its expenses.
Do splits systems add value to home? ›“However, adding a nifty split-system for, say, $1,000 does not increase the value of a property by $5,000 as a number of home sellers believe. This type of feature can add to the marketability, not the value.”
Is ducted aircon a good investment? ›The short answer is yes. In fact, any air conditioning, especially in a hot and sunny city like Perth, can have a substantial impact on the value of your home. So, while the initial investment in having a ducted system installed may be pricier than other options, the long-term financial benefit is clear.
How many years does a split AC last? ›With proper maintenance, most units can last anywhere between 10-15 years.
What is the life expectancy of a split AC unit? ›
Most split-system air conditioning (AC) units are designed to have a long lifespan of 15 to 20 years when well maintained.
What are the disadvantages of split AC? ›The primary disadvantage of mini splits is their cost. They are generally priced around traditional AC systems. Correct sizing of the system is important. Over-sized or incorrectly installed equipment often result in short-cycling; wasting energy and unable to properly control the temperature or humidity.
Do split systems require ductwork? ›Since mini-splits have no ducts, they avoid the energy losses associated with ductwork of central forced air systems. Duct losses can account for more than 30% of energy consumption for air conditioning, especially if the ducts are in an unconditioned space such as an attic.
Which is better ducted or ductless? ›If your living space has existing ducts, most experts will recommend going with a ducted system. This type of system is better at controlling humidity and circulating air inside the house since it's able to cool the air in each room individually.
Which is better ducting or AC? ›If you are looking for an easy way to cool a large office or home, without the cost of multiple units, then a ducted system would be for you! However, if you are working on a budget; or are only concerned with heating/cooling one or two rooms in a house, we recommend a split-system as the most cost-effective option.
Are mini splits more efficient than ducted? ›Ducted systems have a reputation for losing energy. Heat dissipates through the ducts as it disperses throughout the home. Since mini splits don't have ductwork, they aren't susceptible to the same type of energy loss. Traditional ducted systems only have two modes of operation, on or off, which uses more energy.
What is the most efficient type of air conditioning system? ›1| Ductless Units
They are considered the most energy-efficient air conditioning systems on the market. Also, they can be installed in almost any house because they do not require expensive ductwork.
Ductless systems are potentially much more efficient, so your utility cost is generally much less than with central air. The downside is that the initial cost is more. This can be counterintuitive, because we think of mini-splits as the “smaller” option.
