Ready for a more efficient solution to cool or heat your new home or business year-round?
If you’re looking for improvements to your air conditioning systems, you may be considering a ductless vs. ducted system.
While beneficial in some circumstances, a ductless AC can present concerns regarding aesthetics, increased humidity, and a lack of adequate flow.
Our team installs ducted air conditioning systems for homes and businesses in Perth and throughout Western Australia. The ducted reverse cycle technology in these systems allows for optimal climate control. With one installed, you can keep your home or business at perfect temperatures.
To provide premier cooling and heating solutions, we receive our air distribution and ducting components from Daikin. As a trusted Daikin dealer, we proudly carry their products over other brands for its superior products and long industry experience.
Read on to learn more about how our reverse cycle ducted air conditioning services can benefit you and your home or office in Perth.
How Does Ducted Air Con Work?
Ducted systems take warm outside wind and use refrigerant to cool it. The system pumps this newly-cooled wind through a series of ducts to each room or zone. It will flow via appropriate outlets throughout your home or office.
One benefit of zoned circulation is the precise flow. It also allows for temperature range adjustments and the ability to control different zones. You can customise temperature settings for specific rooms while keeping other areas left unchanged.
This setup reduces the running costs of your ducted air conditioning system. However, it doesn’t sacrifice comfort.
Ducted networks cover an entire building, while split system air conditioning creates individual zones. Ducted systems are more efficient and less noisy than split systems. For these reasons, ducted systems work better than split systems for larger homes and businesses in Perth.
Heating Your Home With Ducted Air Con
Ducted air conditioning is not just for keeping your space cool in summer. It is also a highly efficient way to heat your home or office during the cooler months. Using reverse cycle technology, the system draws warmth from the outside air and circulates it inside, creating a comfortable and consistent indoor temperature.
Unlike traditional heaters, these systems do not need to generate heat from scratch. Instead, they use the natural heat energy in the air, making them a more energy efficient and cost effective way to stay warm.
Further benefits include:
- Heat your home or office to your ideal comfort level
- Use one system for both heating and cooling
- Lower running costs through improved energy efficiency
- No exposed hot surfaces or open flames, making it a safer option
- Control which areas to heat with zoning features
How Does a Reverse Cycle System Work?
A reverse cycle air conditioner works by moving heat in or out of your home, depending on the season. It uses a refrigerant, a special fluid that can absorb and release heat as it circulates through the system. In cooling mode, the refrigerant absorbs heat from the air inside and carries it outside, leaving your home cooler. In heating mode, the process reverses; it draws warmth from the outside air (even when it’s cold) and transfers it indoors. A built-in reversing valve makes switching between heating and cooling quick and efficient.
When paired with a ducted system, this heated or cooled air is distributed through hidden ducts, providing consistent comfort to multiple rooms from one central unit.
What Are the Benefits of Ducted Reverse Cycle Air Conditioning?
Ducted reverse cycle air conditioning provides a wide range of benefits, including:
- Year-round comfort: Enjoy consistent heating and cooling in every room, with reverse cycle technology that seamlessly switches between warm and cool air to keep your home comfortable no matter the season.
- Cost efficiency: Reverse cycle systems transfer existing heat instead of generating it, delivering up to 3–6 times more energy output than the electricity they use. With the added benefit of zoning, you can heat or cool only the rooms in use, making it an efficient and cost-effective solution for maintaining comfort.
- Minimal maintenance: Designed for reliability and ease of care, these systems feature easy filter access for quick routine cleaning. Scheduled professional servicing keeps performance at its peak, improves energy efficiency, and extends the system’s lifespan. Depending on usage, most systems only need servicing once a year.
- Improved air quality: Built-in filters remove dust, pollen, and other airborne pollutants while dehumidifying the air, creating a fresher, healthier living environment for you and your family.
How Much Electricity do Reverse Cycle Systems Use?
One of the biggest advantages of a reverse cycle ducted system is its exceptional energy efficiency. Instead of generating heat, these systems transfer it, using significantly less electricity than older air conditioners to deliver the same level of comfort. Electricity usage varies depending on the brand, model, and size of your home.

Smart Zoning Reduces Costs Further
Zoning technology makes a significant difference by heating or cooling only the rooms you’re actually using – such as your living room during the day and bedrooms at night. By shutting off unused zones, you can reduce energy consumption by up to 30%, translating to substantial savings on your annual energy bills.
This high level of efficiency means you can run your reverse cycle system for several hours daily while keeping costs manageable, making it one of the most economical climate control options available for Australian homes.

What to Look for in a Ducted Air Conditioning System
- Choose a Reverse Cycle System for Year-Round Efficiency: Reverse cycle systems provide both heating and cooling in one unit, making them far more efficient and cost-effective than evaporative systems, which can only cool. Unlike evaporative coolers that require constant water use and only work well in dry conditions, reverse cycle systems work effectively in any climate and use significantly less water. Look for units with strong energy ratings from brands like Daikin and Panasonic, known for their excellent efficiency and long-term savings on power bills.
- Look for Inverter Technology: Inverter systems adjust the temperature gradually instead of turning on and off constantly. This means your home stays at a steady, comfortable temperature, the system uses less energy, and it tends to last longer.
- Pick a System with Zoning and Smart Controls: Zoning lets you heat or cool only the rooms you’re actually using, like the living area during the day or bedrooms at night. Pair this with smart controls through an app or programmable thermostat, and you can easily manage your home’s temperature from anywhere.
- Go for Quiet and Eco-Friendly Operation: The best ducted systems are whisper quiet – as low as a gentle background hum – so they won’t disturb you while you sleep, work, or relax. Choosing a system that uses modern refrigerants like R32 means it runs more efficiently and has less impact on the environment.
