Ducted air conditioning is the ultimate whole home cooling solution. The system uses a central control unit that sends cool or hot air to rooms through a hidden network of ducts in the ceiling. It can be used in homes, apartments, townhouses and commercial properties. The advantages of ducted air conditioning over other AC types include a discreet design that blends into the property, energy efficiency and smart home compatibility.
Its a fact that ducted air conditioners can be more expensive to purchase than other AC units, however this is often offset by lower energy costs. As a rule of thumb, installing a ducted air conditioning system in an average sized house will cost about $8,000 for the system and installation.
Depending on the layout of your home or business, the cost of the system may vary. The good news is that a new ducted air conditioning system can add up to 10 % to the value of your property.
The main advantage of ducted air conditioning is its ability to cool multiple rooms at once. It does this using a central system that can be controlled by a remote. The system can also be programmed to turn on or off according to a schedule. For example, if your workplace gets busy at certain times of the day it makes sense to run the air conditioning to ensure that the workspace is at the perfect temperature for maximum productivity.
In addition, a ducted air conditioner is quieter than other AC units. This is a major benefit for many people who find the constant drone of wall or window AC units disruptive. In most cases, a ducted system is virtually silent and can be used in bedrooms or living areas where you need peace and quiet.
The ductwork of a ducted air conditioner can be hidden behind the ceiling or can be exposed to create a trendy industrial look in contemporary homes or stylish cafes, restaurants and bars. The ducts are usually fitted with vents that are recessed into the ceiling or wall, meaning you can style your property to your liking without having to sacrifice valuable wall space for bulky air conditioning units.
Ducted air conditioning is more energy efficient than other AC systems because it can be used in a larger area of your property. The system has a high level of thermal insulation, which helps to maintain an even and comfortable temperature throughout the house. In addition, the ducting system can be configured to use more or less energy depending on your requirements and budget.
