How Ducted Air Conditioning Is Installed

01

New Build or Retrofit, Double or Single Story - We Do It!

Ducted air conditioning is one of the most effective ways to cool or heat a Logan home. It delivers whole-home comfort without visible indoor units, making it a clean, unobtrusive option for both new builds and established properties across the region. A ducted system includes an outdoor condenser and an indoor fan coil unit, which is typically installed in the roof space.

Conditioned air is pushed through insulated ductwork and delivered into each room through ceiling, wall or floor registers. A return air grille draws air back into the indoor unit to be cooled or heated again. The fan motor then circulates a steady, regulated flow of air through the duct network, keeping temperatures stable and ensuring each zone in your Logan home receives consistent airflow.

Advantages of Ducted Air Conditioning

Ducted air conditioning is a versatile and efficient climate control solution for both homes and businesses. Some of the benefits you’ll get when choosing ducted air conditioning for your cooling and heating needs include: Whole-house comfort — Ducted systems deliver consistent and even temperature distribution throughout your entire living or working space. Unlike standalone units, ducted systems ensure comfort in every room.

Discreet design — Ducted systems are discreet, with the only visible components being the vents or registers in your ceiling, walls or floors. This minimises visual impact and preserves the aesthetics of your space. Efficiency and energy savings — A ducted system is designed for efficiency, using less energy to maintain a comfortable environment.

By zoning your home or office, reduce energy consumption by just cooling or heating the areas in use. Low-noise operation — These systems are known for their quiet operation, making them ideal for bedrooms, living rooms and workspaces. The indoor unit, installed in your attic or a dedicated space, ensures minimal noise disturbance.

Enhanced control — Modern ducted systems come equipped with advanced control options, Wi-Fi connectivity, and temperature sensors so you can regulate your system remotely from a smartphone or tablet, even when you’re away. Increased property value — The installation of a ducted system can enhance the value of your property. It’s a sought-after feature for homebuyers and adds a competitive edge to your property listing.

What Size AC System?

The biggest factor in determining your system size is your home size. A small system won’t be able to keep up on the hot summer days and too large a system will draw unnecessary power. 1. The first thing is to calculate the size system necessary to efficiently cool and heat your home. 2.

Then we look at the homes build, how well it is insulated, any large open areas or windows, and any extra heat producing sources. 3. Finally we look at the use of your home areas and how this could affect the system size required.

The System Design

To accuretely design your system we look at large open plan living areas and calculate the size and number of outlets required and then find the best position for these registers. The return air grill location is also critical for the correct operation of your system as well as being in a location that is aesthetically pleasing. With the outlet locations and sizes determined, we make up a system design for the ducting to be installed in the roof space.

We use advantage air ducting and Exact Air Regulators (EARs) to re-direct the air to the outlets as required. The EARs utilise opposed blade dampers which only open in 5% increments, providing precise airflow control to each zone.
