Ducted Air Conditioning Sydney

Yes. We regularly retrofit ducted systems into houses currently using split systems. It’s one of the most common projects we do.

The feasibility depends on your roof space access and ceiling type. Most houses work fine, though some require creative ductwork solutions which we’re experienced at providing.

If you currently have splits, we can often incorporate one or two as supplementary cooling for specific rooms (like a home theatre or garage conversion) while the ducted system handles the main house.

Book a free assessment and we’ll explain what’s possible for your specific situation.

We handle all electrical work in-house as part of our complete installation service. This includes:

• New dedicated power circuit installation
• RCBO safety switch installation
• All electrical connections for indoor and outdoor units
• Controller wiring and setup
• Zone damper wiring
• Compliance certification

One team, one point of contact, no coordinating multiple contractors. If any electrical adjustments are needed, we handle it without finger-pointing between trades.

We provide free, no-obligation assessments where we visit your property, discuss your needs, and explain your options.

Within 3–5 days after the assessment, you’ll receive a detailed written proposal with system recommendations at different package levels and exact pricing for your specific house.

The proposal includes everything: equipment, installation, electrical work, zoning, testing, commissioning, and warranty. No hidden costs or surprise extras

System sizing isn’t just about square metres. It’s about how you use the space, your house’s construction, sun exposure, insulation, window sizes, and your comfort priorities.

We use heat load calculations that factor in all these variables, then discuss your usage patterns. You might not need to cool every room at maximum capacity all the time, which affects what system makes sense.

We’ll explain what capacity genuinely suits your needs and why, so you understand the recommendation rather than just getting a number.

We take several steps to keep installation as unobtrusive as possible:

• Schedule around your routine where possible
• Protect floors, furniture, and surfaces before starting work
• Work cleanly and clean up thoroughly at the end of each day
• Keep you informed about what’s happening and what to expect next
• Roof space and electrical work are the noisiest parts (Day 1) — we complete these efficiently
• Most families find they can continue normal activities during installation

If you have specific concerns (working from home, young children, noise-sensitive situations), let us know during planning and we’ll accommodate where possible.

Most residential ducted installations take 2–3 days depending on house size, complexity, and any unexpected challenges we encounter.

Day 1: Indoor and outdoor unit installation, electrical work, initial ductwork

Day 2: Complete ductwork installation, outlet fitting, zone configuration

Day 3: System commissioning, testing, customer handover

We work cleanly, protect your home, and minimise disruption to your routine. You’ll know the schedule before we start and we’ll keep you informed if anything changes.

Most ducted installations in Western Sydney range from {price range}, depending on house size, system capacity, number of zones, and chosen features.

A typical four-bedroom house with 3–5 zones usually falls in the {price range} bracket. Larger homes or homes wanting premium features may be higher.

Exact pricing requires assessing your specific house. We provide detailed quotes after your free assessment, breaking down what’s included so you understand where your money goes.

Payment plans available through Brighte for approved applicants.

Annual servicing is recommended to keep your system running efficiently and prevent problems.

A proper service includes:

• Filter cleaning/replacement
• Checking refrigerant levels and pressures
• Inspecting electrical connections
• Testing zone dampers and controls
• Verifying system performance
• Cleaning condensate drainage

Annual servicing typically costs {price range} depending on system size. We send maintenance reminders so you don’t have to remember.

Regular servicing extends system life, maintains energy efficiency, and catches small issues before they become expensive problems.

Most houses with ceiling space can accommodate ducted systems, but the specifics depend on your roof type, ceiling height, and house layout.

Houses with good ceiling cavity access (like tile roofs) are straightforward. Houses with limited access (some metal roofs) may need creative solutions, which we’re experienced at providing.

During your free assessment, we’ll check your roof space, identify any considerations, and explain whether ducted is practical for your specific house. If your house presents challenges, we’ll be honest about it and explain your alternatives.

We primarily install Actron Air systems (Australian designed and owned) and are a Premium Account holder with them.

We chose Actron for several reasons:

• Reliable performance in Australian conditions
• Modern, user-friendly controllers
• Good energy efficiency ratings
• Australian company with local support
• Quality construction

We’re also experienced with Daikin, Mitsubishi, and Fujitsu systems if you have a brand preference or specific requirements.

Zoning can be as simple as two zones (bedrooms and living areas) or as detailed as individual room control.

Common zoning approaches:

• Basic (2 zones): Bedrooms together, living areas together
• Standard (3–4 zones): Master bedroom separate, kids’ bedrooms together, living/kitchen, home office
• Advanced (5+ zones): Individual control for most rooms, allowing precise comfort and energy management

We’ll discuss what zoning arrangement suits your house layout and family routine during your assessment. More zones means more flexibility but slightly higher upfront cost. We’ll explain the trade-offs.

All our ducted installations include:

• Manufacturer’s warranty on equipment (typically 5–7 years on major components)
• Extended installation warranty covering workmanship and installation quality
• 12-month peace-of-mind period where we’ll address any performance concerns

We also provide detailed commissioning reports documenting exactly what was installed and how it’s configured. Valuable for future service or if you sell the house.

Specific warranty periods are detailed in your proposal.

Most installers quote a system size based on square metres, install it according to standard practice, and you’re done.

We spend time understanding how you use your house, design zoning around your routine, apply commercial-grade air balancing techniques to ensure even temperatures, provide detailed commissioning reports, and handle all electrical work in-house.

The extra time we invest in design and commissioning means your system performs better and uses energy more efficiently. That’s the difference between a standard installation and one properly designed for your situation.

This depends on several factors: system efficiency, how you use it, zoning configuration, and your house’s insulation.

A well-designed ducted system with proper zoning can be more energy-efficient than running multiple split systems, because you’re only conditioning the spaces being used.

We focus on designing systems that balance comfort with efficiency:

• Right-sized capacity (not oversized)
• Smart zoning for your usage patterns
• Quality installation with proper air balancing
• Energy-efficient equipment recommendations

Most families find their summer energy costs increase but are manageable with sensible usage, and the comfort benefit is worth it. We’ll discuss realistic running costs during your assessment.
