Ducted air conditioning in Perth, sized room by room

How we install ducted air conditioning

Most of a ducted system lives above the ceiling, where you will never see it, so that is where we spend the time. We insulate the ducting and size each run from your home's measurements, so the back bedroom gets its share of air. The unit sits over a drip tray with a trapped drain, which carries condensation away before it can mark your ceiling.

Inside the house, we lay floor protection where we walk, and every box and offcut leaves with us. Before we go, we balance the air across the zones and show you how to run the system and clean the filter.

Our 7 year workmanship warranty

On a ducted system we supply and install, the warranty covers our work: the ducting, every place we go through your walls and ceilings, the mounting of both units, the condensate drainage and the commissioning. You get it in writing once the job is paid.

The one condition is a service at least once every 12 months by a licensed air conditioning technician. The equipment carries its maker's warranty, and our electrical work carries 12 months. The warranty does not cover storm, flood, fire, lightning or surge damage, other people's work on the system, or a filter that was never cleaned; the full list is in our terms.

Brands and zones

Your quote usually sets out three brands at three prices, and whichever you choose, we install it the same way. Panasonic leads our range, and for ducted we also install Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, Fujitsu, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Samsung and Hisense. Zoning lets you run just the bedrooms at night, and you control the whole system from a wall controller or your phone.

Replacing an old ducted system

A loose duct or a blocked drain is a repair, and we fix those too. When it is time to replace, we size the new system from your house, not from the label on the old one. The old unit comes out with its refrigerant recovered.

Sound ductwork can sometimes stay, and your quote says whether it does. We test what we connect to, but we cannot warrant ductwork we did not install.

Changing from evaporative to refrigerated

An evaporative cooler blows outside air through wet pads, so it needs the windows open and dry weather, and it does not heat. Refrigerated ducted cools with the house shut and heats in winter, so one system covers summer and winter.

We build a conversion like any new ducted install, with a return air grille and a washable filter added, because the air now goes round the house instead of out the windows. The old cooler comes out and we seal its opening weather-tight.

One company for the electrical and the air conditioning

The electrical work goes on the same quote: a lockable isolating switch beside the outdoor unit, and a circuit of its own with safety switch protection where the system needs one. If your switchboard needs work first, we tell you and price it before we go any further.
