What is a ducted reverse cycle air conditioning system?
Ducted air conditioning uses inverter technology and runs solely on electricity to keep your home cool in summer and warm in winter.
Installing a ducted air conditioning system means you can enjoy climate-controlled comfort throughout your entire home, all at the touch of a button. A ducted system can be designed to operate in two or more zones, so you can select which areas of the house you want to cool or heat up, helping you save money on energy costs.
How does ducted air conditioning work?
A ducted air conditioning system is powered by a compressor/ condenser that is installed outside the house, and an indoor unit that is usually located in the ceiling or under the floor.
This is connected to a series of ducts that distributes refrigerated cool or warm air through vents located throughout the house.
Ducted systems filter the air and remove humidity to provide comfort all year round, regardless of the weather conditions. Heating is provided economically by ‘reversing’ the operation of the air conditioner.
Advantages of ducted reverse cycle air conditioning in Perth
The large range of ducted systems available, means there’s a whole home solution for every size and style of home.
Aside from providing air conditioned comfort in every room, reverse cycle ducted air conditioning is great because it offers:
- Easy control – separate zones with easy to use controls
- Provides even air distribution – no hot or cold spots in your home
- Quieter operations – a ducted system is quieter and the most efficient way to distribute air around your home or business.
- Unobtrusive – it takes up less space inside in the house.
- Affordable – in some instances it may be cheaper to install ducted air conditioning over wall hung split systems in every room, and it can also add to the resale value of your home.
Tips for using ducted air conditioners
You can save on your energy bills while still getting the most out of your ducted air conditioning system
This can be done by:
Setting your air conditioner thermostat between 24°C and 26°C. Every degree lower in summer increases your running costs by around 10%.
- Keeping windows and doors closed when your air con is operating to avoid wasting energy. Close any curtains or blinds during the day to keep the heat out.
- Use the economy setting if your ducted system has one – this will reduce energy use by maintaining moderate rather than cold temperatures.
- When the outside temperature drops, turn the air conditioner off and open doors and windows to let the cool air in.
- Regularly servicing your air conditioning system to keep it operating at an optimum level and ensure it endures the long, hot Perth summers.
