Why choose ducted air conditioning?
Complete climate control
One powerful central system keeps every room evenly heated and cooled — ideal for Perth's hot summers and chilly winters.
Quiet operation
The noisy compressor sits outside. Inside, you hear little more than a gentle breeze from the vents.
Nothing on your walls
Ductwork is hidden in the roof, leaving clean ceilings with slim vents and your walls free.
Energy-smart zoning
Heat or cool only the rooms you're using, so you're not paying to condition empty bedrooms.
How it works
How ducted reverse cycle air conditioning works
A ducted system is one central air conditioner that heats and cools your whole home through hidden ductwork. Here's what goes where.
- 1
Outdoor unit
The compressor and condenser sit outside, usually on the ground or a wall bracket, keeping the noise out of your home.
- 2
Indoor fan coil in the roof
A slim indoor unit in the roof space heats or cools the air and pushes it through the ductwork.
- 3
Insulated ducts to every room
Flexible insulated ducts carry conditioned air to ceiling vents in each room or zone.
- 4
Return air grille
Air is drawn back to the indoor unit through a return grille, filtered, and re-conditioned in a continuous loop.
Zoning & control
Only heat or cool the rooms you're using
Zoning divides your home into areas — typically bedrooms, living areas and the study — each controlled by a motorised damper in the ductwork. Run the living zone during the day and the bedrooms at night, and you're never paying to condition empty rooms.
With a smart zone controller you can set temperatures room by room, run schedules, and switch the system on from your phone before you get home.
We install AirTouch 5 zone controllers.
Lower running costs
Only the zones you select are heated or cooled.
Room-by-room comfort
Different temperatures for bedrooms and living areas.
Phone & app control
Turn it on, schedule zones and adjust from anywhere.
Quieter nights
Run just the bedroom zone overnight.
Pricing
How much does ducted air conditioning cost in Perth?
Typical installed prices for single-storey Perth homes (supply + install, inc GST). Your fixed written quote comes after a free measure-up.
2–3 bedroom home
Single storey · 7–10kW
$7,000–$12,000
4 bedroom home
Single storey · 10–14kW
$10,000–$15,000
5+ bedroom home
Single storey · 16kW+
$16,000+
Double-storey home
Inspection needed first
Double-storey homes vary a lot. If there's a provision to run a duct downstairs, one system can often do both levels. If not — and there's a real ceiling space on each level — upstairs and downstairs may need separate units. We need to inspect the home to see what's possible before we can price it.
Size of your home
Floor area, number of rooms and ceiling heights decide the system capacity you need.
Number of zones
Additional zones are about $100 each, and let you run only the rooms you're using.
Roof space & access
Tight roofs and tricky ceiling access add time — and double-storey homes need an inspection first. Difficult jobs are our specialty.
Brand & controller
Premium inverter units cost more upfront but run more efficiently. An AirTouch 5 smart controller is $1,000 extra.
Removing an evaporative cooler
$650 including tile patching; metal roof sheet patching is $800–$1,500.
Vents & finishes
Standard vents are included; slim linear vents are $250 per vent where no joists need cutting.

| Whole-home comfort | Every zoned room | Room by room | Most rooms |
| Works with windows closed | Yes | Yes | Needs open windows |
| Effective on humid days | Yes | Yes | Less effective |
| What you see inside | Slim ceiling vents | A unit on each wall | Ceiling vents |
| Cool only the rooms in use | With zoning | Yes | Limited |
| Upfront cost | Highest | Lowest for 1–3 rooms | Lower |
