Ducted Air Conditioning Perth
Ducted air conditioning is the ultimate home cooling solution in Perth. Most homes in Perth benefit from a ducted system, even multi-story dwellings with many rooms. A refrigerated air conditioning system is a great choice for climate control, all year round. Many ducted air conditioners have reverse cycle capabilities, meaning they provide heating as well as cooling. This lets you save money since you won’t need a separate heating system. When you have a ducted air conditioner in your home, you need to make sure it’s operating at peak efficiency. This means getting your AC unit serviced regularly.
The Mouritz team has 47 years of experience installing air conditioners in Perth. With Mouritz, you get quality assurance and the most affordable prices. Schedule an appointment or check out our Perth locations for more information.
Ducted Refrigerated Air Conditioning
Is ducted air conditioning right for me?
Ducted air conditioning is suitable for the majority of homes depending on your situation. It’s the most efficient option for cooling or heating a whole building. This includes both residential and commercial properties.
Getting ducted air conditioning is an excellent idea for larger houses. A ducted system can utilise zoning to provide temperature regulation that suits all the members of a household. It’s also unobtrusive, as the vents come right from the roof. The main operating components are outside or hidden away, so they don’t cause intrusion into the home. This provides maximum comfort and convenience.
For large commercial buildings, ducted air conditioning is a smart choice. Shopping centres have a multitude of spacious rooms to keep at optimal temperatures. They also experience a lot of foot traffic and benefit from the circulation of new air. A ducted air conditioner can fulfil both of those needs effectively.
In addition to helping with all things air conditioning in Perth, Mouritz also offers a solar panel installation service.
How does ducted air conditioning work?
Ducted air conditioning works by distributing air through a series of vents and ducts. A central air conditioning unit filters the air before dispersing it through the appropriate vents. These vents then carry the air to ducts installed in different parts of the home. Check out this helpful video, for a more detailed explanation.
Larger ducted air conditioning units are capable of heating or cooling an entire house either all at once or by selecting specific rooms. These areas are determined using a feature called zone control. Zone control divides a building into different sections for custom climate control. The temperature in different rooms is regulated using built-in thermostats. This means everyone can have the temperature that suits them best. In addition to accommodating everyone’s needs, zone control helps you save on your power bill by only heating or cooling the areas you need. This means less excess power usage and more money in your pocket.
For colder months when cooling is not required, Mouritz also provides fully ducted gas heating solutions for your home.
What is ducted reverse cycle air conditioning?
Ducted reverse cycle air conditioning provides both cooling and heating for your home. It does this using substances called refrigerants. Refrigerants flow through the coils that connect the indoor and outdoor units of a ducted reverse cycle air conditioner. They are able to absorb and distribute heat from the air, depending on what you need. To cool a building, the refrigerant absorbs heat from inside air and redistributes it outdoors. For heating purposes, the cycle happens in reverse. Heat is absorbed from outdoor air and dispersed into the home. Having a reverse cycle ducted air conditioner is a great investment. It means you don’t need to buy a separate heater.

Do I need to service my ducted air conditioner?
You need to service your ducted air conditioner regularly to ensure your system functions effectively and efficiently. Over time, air conditioning units experience wear and tear. This may eventually result in more significant damage to some components. When you get your ducted air conditioner serviced, the technician examines your system’s parts. They identify anything that needs repair or replacement before it becomes a serious issue. Servicing also addresses dust build-up. Dust accumulating in your ducted air conditioner lowers the air quality and decreases the system’s efficiency. Cleaning the system allows it to function optimally. Typically, it is best to get your ducted air conditioner serviced at least once a year. Mouritz provides service and repair for all makes and models.
How much does ducted air conditioning cost?
The cost of ducted air conditioning depends on the size of your home, the areas you want to service and the air conditioner’s brand and model. Bigger homes with many rooms require more substantial air conditioning units. These are expensive compared to smaller units. Larger systems can also be more complex to install, particularly in two storey homes.
The more rooms included in the system, the greater the running costs. But another contributor to running costs is the thermal insulation of your property. Homes with more effective insulation don’t rely on air conditioning as heavily, so it costs less over time. This is why effectively insulating your home is recommended. It keeps your running costs to a minimum and allows you to only heat or cool the areas you are using at the time.
The type of ducted air conditioner being used is also important. Different models vary in their purchase price and installation costs. They also have different running costs based on their characteristics and performance. Efficiency is an important factor to consider, as a more efficient ducted air conditioner uses less power and saves you money as a result. Reverse cycle capabilities are also important to note, since they provide heating as well. To get a clearer idea of how much it will cost you, request a custom quote.
Pros And Cons Of Using Ducted Air Conditioning
Pros
Ducted air conditioners provide advantages for consumers in the following ways:
- Reverse cycle systems provide both heating and cooling. This contributes to better overall temperature control in the home.
- Ducted air conditioning systems are typically very discreet. Ducting can be hidden within the ceiling space with vents being flush with existing ceilings in most cases.
- Zone control provides flexibility and efficiency for heating and cooling. It limits climate control to specific areas.
- Humidity levels do not affect the function of ducted air conditioning systems.
- Ducted air conditioners have a long usable lifespan. This means you get a lot of use from them and maximise your investment over time.
Cons
Ducted air conditioners have factors worth considering before deciding on your purchase:
- More complex designs can make installation expensive.
- Ducted air conditioning systems for larger homes require bigger, more powerful units which can contribute to higher running costs.
- Unlike an evaporative cooling system, doors and windows must remain closed while a ducted air conditioner is operating.
