Checklist
Whole-Home Ducted Aircon, Explained Plainly
Ducted systems are the quiet way to condition an entire home from a single plant.
A ducted system has one outdoor unit and a hidden indoor unit in the roof, connected to ceiling outlets in each room by insulated duct runs. Zoning lets you switch rooms on and off, so you only pay to condition the spaces you are actually using.
The parts break down like this:
- One outdoor unit, sited clear of bedrooms and boundaries
- One indoor unit mounted in the roof space
- Insulated duct runs feeding ceiling outlets in each room
- Zone controls that turn rooms on or off individually
It is also the tidiest system there is. Nothing sits on your walls but small grilles, and the machinery lives above the ceiling.
Local knowledge
Which Windsor Gardens Homes Suit Ducted
The suburb's housing stock decides whether ducted is the right call, and the answer differs street by street.
Trust Cottages
The original prefabricated cottages from the 1950s and 1960s build-out have tight wall cavities and shallow roof lines. Duct runs through those roofs are often impractical, and we say so at inspection rather than quote a job that fights the house.
Brick-Veneer Replacements
The detached brick and brick-veneer homes that replaced many Trust cottages are a different story. Their roof spaces usually take outlets, runs and the indoor unit without major compromise, which is why ducted suits so many of them.
Eastern Infill Homes
The semi-detached and courtyard homes built from the 1960s onward on the eastern side sit on tighter blocks. Ducted still works there, but the outdoor unit position and neighbour noise get planned before the quote.
Running costs
Running Costs Through an Adelaide Year
Adelaide swings from consecutive days over 40 in summer to genuinely cold winter nights, and a reverse-cycle ducted system covers both ends of that.
Zoning Cuts the Bill
Zoning is where the running cost is won or lost. Cooling two bedrooms overnight instead of the whole house trims the load sharply, and a zoned system makes that a button press.
Heating Counts Too
Reverse-cycle ducted heats efficiently through cold snaps, so one system does both seasons. If you already have gas heating, our ducted gas heating page covers that pairing.
Servicing Keeps It Honest
A ducted system needs filter and duct checks to stay efficient. Our cleaning service covers that, and a choked filter quietly adds dollars to every summer bill.
In detail
What the Install Involves
Ducted installation is a bigger job than a split, and we run it in a set order so nothing surprises you.
Roof Inspection First
We get into the roof space before quoting anything. Outlet positions, duct routes, switchboard capacity and outdoor unit placement all get confirmed on paper first.
Fixed Quote
You get a fixed figure covering the units, ducting, outlets, electrical work and commissioning. No hourly rates, no bill shock, and the number does not move once we start.
Install and Test
Most ducted jobs run two to three days depending on roof access. We commission and test every zone before we call it done, and the site gets cleaned up.
Common problems

Weak airflow in one zone.
No cooling on a 40-degree day.
Water marks on a ceiling.

FAQs
How much does ducted air conditioning cost?
Every home prices on its own merits, so we inspect the roof space, zoning plan and switchboard first, then quote a fixed figure covering the complete installation with no hourly rates attached.
Can ducted go into an original Trust cottage?
Sometimes, but the prefabricated walls and shallow roof lines of the original Trust cottages often make duct runs impractical, so we inspect first and recommend split or ducted honestly based on what the house supports.
Does ducted heating as well as cool?
A reverse-cycle ducted system does both, heating efficiently through cold Adelaide winter nights, while cooling-only ducted exists too, so we confirm which setup suits your home at quote time.
How long does a ducted install take?
Most ducted jobs run two to three days depending on roof access and any switchboard work, and we flag anything that could extend the job at quote time rather than mid-install.
Do you offer finance or discounts?
Yes, interest-free finance is available for larger jobs through Humm, there is $50 off first service, and we also offer a 10% pensioner discount.
