Introduction to Ducted Air Conditioning Systems in Sydney

Quality air conditioning is a non-negotiable fact of life in many parts of modern Australia that we often forget until it stops working. To say that the Australian climate can be brutal at times would be an understatement. Although people living in Sydney are generally treated to more manageable average temperatures, life without individual AC units or ducted air conditioning in Sydney would be intolerable at times. But what is ducted air conditioning? Sit back and let the Aircon Doctor guide you through this game-changing addition to temperature control.

How Ducted Conditioning Systems Enhance Home Comfort and Efficiency

As the name suggests, a ducted air conditioning system delivers cool, refreshing air to each room through a series of ducts. Sometimes referred to as central air conditioning, it is the favoured cooling method for most custom-built hotels, businesses, and large retail spaces.

Benefits of Ducted Air Conditioning for Sydney Residents

Residential properties are not excluded from utilising ducted air conditioning systems; however, not all properties have the requisite infrastructure or capacity to allow for ducted air conditioning installation, more of that later. Some of the benefits residential properties experience through using a ducted air conditioning system in Sydney match those of the larger public spaces mentioned.

The even, constant temperatures maintained across an entire structure are a huge advantage, meaning no parts of the home or property are uncomfortable to spend time in, as can be the case with individual AC units if they are not left switched on. A ‘zoning system’ allows individual control of the temperature in each room so the whole house is not limited to whatever temperature is set at the main unit.

The Ducted Air Conditioning Installation Process and What to Expect

Depending on the scale of the installation and other considerations, the process of ducted air conditioning installation at Aircon Doctor is typically as follows:

The outdoor power unit is situated on a solid surface. Your technicians may need to lay a foundation for this.
A hole is cut in the ceiling for the return air grill. This doubles as a loading hole for equipment to be installed in the roof space.
The indoor fan coil unit is hung in the ceiling.
Ducting is laid in the roof space that feeds air into each room, and the outdoor unit is connected to the copper piping.
Grills are installed in each ceiling, and wall controllers are fixed in place

The return air box and grill are installed, covering the large initial hole.
Each element of the ducted air conditioning is now double-checked and tested.

FAQ's

What Is the Cost of Installing a Ducted Air Conditioning System in Sydney?

The cost of ducted air conditioning installation is highly variable, depending on a range of factors from logistical issues to the amount of ducting required and so on.

How to Maintain Your Ducted Air Conditioning System for Longevity?

Because air flows through them constantly, vents and registers (grilles with moving parts that direct airflow) get clogged with anything from dust and pet dander to clothing fibres and other particles. Once you remove any larger obstructions, it is a simple case of vacuuming the vents and registers to remove the finer particles and repeating this process every few weeks.

Can a Ducted Air Conditioning System Be Installed in Any Home?

Structural and logistical barriers are the most common reasons why a property might not be able to be equipped with ducted air conditioning in Sydney. Sometimes, there simply isn’t enough room for the system, or other obstacles present themselves. Speak with your Aircon Doctor representative, and they will discuss your exact circumstances and try to ascertain whether you can consider a ducted air conditioning system in Sydney.
