Ducted Cooling and Heating Installed by a Local, Fully Licensed Family Team
We are a family-owned Adelaide crew with a full ARC refrigeration and air conditioning licence, in the suburb most weeks installing, servicing and repairing ducted systems for households across the City of Salisbury.
What Ducted Air Conditioning Actually Does
A ducted system is one outdoor condenser connected to ducts running through the ceiling, with an outlet in each room and a controller on the wall. One system conditions the whole house at once.
Zoning divides the home into areas you run separately. The bedrooms stay switched off while the living area cools, and the bill reflects only the rooms you are actually using.
Ducted and the Trust-Era Brick Stock
The Housing Trust streets around the Pooraka Memorial Hall are single-storey brick and brick-veneer homes on standard blocks, which is exactly the layout ducted likes. Roof space is the deciding factor, and single-storey ceilings usually have it.
Closer to the Mawson Lakes boundary, semi-detached infill often suits split systems instead, where shared walls and small yards rule out a big condenser. We install ducted units from Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, Fujitsu and ActronAir.
Cooling and Heating Costs Across the Adelaide Year
Reverse-cycle ducted heats in July as well as it cools in January, which matters because Adelaide winters are properly cold. Brick walls release the day's heat into the evening, so a heatwave string over 40 keeps a system working long hours.
Two cost levers matter most with ducted:
Zoning
System choice
For winter-focused households, ducted gas heating is the other option we install.
What a Ducted Install Involves
Every ducted job gets decided in the roof and the side yard long before anything is ordered, and these four checks are where a good installation on a Trust-era brick home properly starts:
Roof space first
Where the unit sits
Zoning the house
Sizing the load
Air Conditioning Services for Ducted Systems
A ducted system needs the same four services as any other aircon, and our team covers the lot for homes around Main North Road and the streets off it:
Ducted installation
Ducted repairs
Ducted replacement
Ducted cleaning
Why Getting Ducted Right Matters
A ducted system is the biggest air conditioning decision a household makes, and the consequences run for a decade. The wrong size or a lazy zoning plan costs you every single summer.
Refrigerant work is carried out under ARC Licence L162586, RAC01 - Full Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Licence, which covers installation, decommissioning and refrigerant handling. Regular cleaning keeps the system efficient and your warranty terms intact.

Ducted Aircon Faults We Fix
Even good ducted systems develop faults, and most arrive on the hottest week of the year. We diagnose and fix the common ones fast:

Questions
Ducted Air Conditioning Questions, Answered
How much does ducted air conditioning cost to install?
It depends on the number of outlets, zones and the size of your home, so we measure on site and quote a fixed figure before any work starts. No hourly rates.
Can ducted go into a Trust-era brick home here?
Yes, usually. The single-storey brick and brick-veneer homes on standard blocks have roof space for ducting, and we confirm access and the heating and cooling load before quoting. Nothing is guessed.
Does ducted air conditioning heat as well as cool?
Reverse-cycle ducted does both, and it heats a brick home far cheaper than plug-in heaters through a July cold snap. Gas ducted heating is the other winter option we install. We quote both fixed.
How long does a ducted installation take?
A ducted install usually runs over a few days rather than one, because ducting and outlets go through the ceiling before the outdoor unit and controller finish the job. We confirm timing in the quote.
Can I spread the cost of a ducted system?
Yes, Humm interest-free finance is available for larger jobs, and pensioners receive a 10% pensioner discount on our work. Ring (08) 8246 6298 and we will run through the numbers when we quote. Everything is in writing.
