What is ducted air conditioning?
Ducted air conditioning uses a central system and a network of ducts to distribute conditioned air across multiple rooms. Many systems can provide both cooling and heating for whole-home comfort.
Ducted air conditioning definition
Ducted air conditioning is a centralised system that distributes conditioned air to multiple rooms through concealed ducts. Air enters each room through outlets, allowing one system to serve several areas of a property.
How ducted air conditioning works
Ducted air conditioning uses a central unit connected to concealed ducts. Conditioned air travels through the ductwork and enters different rooms through vents or outlets.
Why ducted air conditioning matters
A ducted system can condition multiple rooms from a single central unit, making it a practical option for properties that need heating or cooling across several areas.
Where ducted systems are used
Ducted air conditioning can suit homes and commercial spaces where several rooms need climate control without separate indoor units installed in each area.
How air moves through the system
The indoor unit conditions the air before sending it through a network of ducts. Outlets then distribute the air into individual rooms or zones throughout the property.
Where ducted systems can be used
Ducted air conditioning can suit properties with multiple rooms that need climate control. How the system is used will depend on the layout, zones and comfort needs.
Cooling multiple rooms at once
A ducted system can distribute cooled air to several rooms through a single concealed ductwork, rather than relying on a separate indoor unit in each space.
Heating the home in winter
Reverse cycle ducted systems can also provide heating, allowing the same central system to keep multiple areas comfortable during colder weather.
Controlling different home zones
Zoning can divide a ducted system into separate areas, giving households more control over which parts of the home receive conditioned air at a given time.
Keeping indoor units concealed
Most of the ductwork and indoor equipment can be concealed in the ceiling space, with vents or outlets providing a less visually prominent finish inside each room.
