Ducted air conditioning is an energy efficient alternative to split system air conditioning. Some of the benefits of ducted air conditioning systems include:
Energy Efficiency
If there are more than three rooms that need to be temperature controlled, ducted air con is the most energy efficient option.
Reduced Noise
Because of the location of the air conditioning unit, (generally installed in the ceiling) ducted air conditioning systems are the quietest air conditioning option.
Adds Value
Ducted air conditioning systems can last up to 10 years, and even longer when regularly maintained and serviced. The longevity of ducted air conditioning systems means that they generally add value to any home. Value is also added because it is a heating or cooling solution for the entire home rather than just one or two rooms.
Ducted air conditioning is the least obtrusive air conditioner in terms of decor as the only visible components are the discreet vents on the walls, floor or ceiling. Additionally, ducted air conditioners can be customised to suit the style and decor of your home with different styles and designs of vents available.
Constantly Maintained Room Temperature
Most modern ducted air conditioning systems come with temperature sensors installed around the house. These sensors constantly monitor the temperature of the room to ensure that the target temperature is maintained.
This means that once the room is at the desired temperature, the AC system is only used to maintain the temperature, which improves the energy efficiency of the system.
Heat & Cool Individual Rooms
Zone control allows for comfortable temperatures throughout the whole home or office while maintaining high energy efficiency. This means that you can have the system set to cool the living areas in the daytime and the bedrooms at night. Zoning also means that you can have only one zone heating or cooling at a time so that you aren’t wasting power to heat the whole house when it is not in use.
All-In-One System
Ducted air conditioning is designed to have one system service the whole house. This means that unlike a split system air con, only one system is required for temperature control in every room. On average, that makes ducted systems less expensive than split systems if you need more than three rooms to be temperature controlled.
No Hot or Cold Spots
Unlike split system air conditioning systems where all of the air is coming from a single vent, ducted systems include vents installed all over the house in either the floor, walls or ceiling. This means that no area of your home will be missed by your ducted air conditioning unit.
Unobtrusive System
The design of the ducted air conditioning system means that the system is both aesthetically pleasing and quiet. Because the main part of the system is installed in the ceiling or floor, the only components visible from the room are the unobtrusive grills. This also means that ducted air conditioning is the quietest AC system as all of the noise making components are in the floor or ceiling rather than being out in the open.
