What is Ducted Air Conditioning Perth
What is Ducted Reverse Cycle Air Conditioning Perth ?
We specialise in ducted reverse cycle air conditioning also known as refrigerated air conditioning. It is possible to have either a ducted split air conditioner or an individual air conditioning unit. reverse cycle air conditioners are an air conditioning unit connected to air ducting that distributes the air to many rooms. Air conditioning units come in various different sizes, ranging from 2.5kW (1 horse power) to 200kW (80 horse power). Ducted air conditioning is the most unobtrusive form of air conditioning installation, as the unit is not inside the room, there is little sound and only a small outlet is visible. Ducted systems are very flexible and can be customised to suit your personal situation. Most of all, reverse cycle air conditioners are the best value for money systems because of the large area they can affect for the initial setup costs.

Air Conditioning Installation Perth Performance
As far as air conditioning performance goes, ducted air conditioning is the best option, though it can cost up to twice as much as evaporative cooling. However, evaporative cooling doesn’t do you much good in the cooler months, when you need to pay even more for heating options, where as a reverse cycle air conditioning system can be used to heat your home as well as cool it.
Healthy air conditioning option
Ducted reverse cycle air conditioning is a healthy option. This is because it controls the humidity and temperature of the air you breathe making it healthier and cleaner. And fresh air can always be introduced. In fact the Allergy Research Foundation has recommended reverse cycle ducted air conditioning as the most effective way to create a low allergen home. However a regular cleaning schedule of the air filters is necessary to keep a healthy air quality.
Reverse Cycle Air Conditioning Perth Maintenance
Reverse cycle air conditioning is easy and inexpensive to maintain. Generally speaking, most domestic ducted air conditioning systems should only need servicing once a year. However the air filters will require more frequent cleaning. Here at Ducted Air Conditioning Perth, we recommend that domestic filters should be cleaned every two months or so and commercial filters should be cleaned monthly. This routine filter cleaning can be performed by our expert maintenance team or you can do it yourself. The annual ducted air conditioner perth servicing is, more often than not, preventative and therefore won’t cost an arm or a leg, and may prevent the larger cost of replacing neglected parts.
Ducted Air Conditioning Running Costs
Every ducted air conditioner perth has different running costs which are affected by the design and power of the system, but also by the day to day temperature costs and by the temperatures that the system is set to. The biggest contributing factor, however, is the size of the air conditioning unit. As a general rule, approx. 10 cents worth of electricity is needed for each horse power (HP) every hour. Eg. 5 hp = 5x 10c = 50c per hour.
Tips for choosing the right air conditioning installation perth
- The initial price does not make it the best solution for you, you need to also think about future cost and effectiveness.
- Good roof insulation is very important for refrigerated air conditioning, so if you don’t have it look into that as well.
- A poorly installed or engineered system can end up costing you more in the long run with extra running costs, servicing and a shorter life span.
- Choosing a system that is too big, is just as bad as too small. Choose too large and the unit will turn off too often, which will affect humidity control. Choosing a unit that is too small may mean you never achieve the desired room temperature and it will always stay on.
- The correct selection is crucial. Duct design is of the highest importance. Ductwork, return air grille and outlets must all be selected for optimum performance.
