Ducted evaporative air conditioning

Cool comfort from Mouritz

Ducted evaporative air conditioning provides a convenient and affordable way to cool your home. Mouritz are Perth’s preferred ducted evaporative air conditioner supplier and installer.

Evaporative systems are most effective in hot, dry environments, so they are extremely well suited to Perth. Importantly, the running cost for an evaporative system is very low compared to many other options.

Another significant benefit is air quality. Unlike reverse cycle systems that recirculate air, evaporative air conditioners introduce fresh, filtered air into your home. When in operation you are also able to keep doors or windows open.

Systems are designed to distribute cooled fresh air throughout your entire home making zone control unnecessary.

Ducted evaporative air conditioning is unobtrusive with the main operating unit located on your roof.  Inside the home, ceiling vents deliver air to each room to be cooled.

Every system we install is designed considering your lifestyle, operating requirements and budget. We offer evaporative air conditioning systems from the leading brands that deliver the highest levels of efficiency. Importantly, you can rest easy knowing that with Mouritz you’ll be drawing on experience going back to 1977 to deliver a solution that meets your needs perfectly.

Is ducted evaporative air conditioning right for me?

Relax, Mouritz has you covered

A ducted evaporative system will deliver fresh cooled air throughout your entire home. A big advantage of an evaporative system is its low running costs, making it a convenient and affordable choice. However, if you require a solution that also provides heating, want to set up different zones within your home or if you only need to air condition one or two rooms, a reverse cycle or split system from Mouritz may be the perfect alternative.

Ducted reverse cycle

Ducted reverse cycle air conditioning is an excellent option for most Perth homes, offering an efficient and flexible way to heat and cool part or your entire home. Every system is unique and designed to suit each installation with consideration to how it will be used and your individual needs. If you are looking for year-round comfort and a long-term solution, it’s very likely that this will be a great choice.

Split systems

A split air conditioning system offers heating and cooling and is suitable when whole of home air conditioning is not required. The system consists of an outdoor unit and an indoor wall mounted unit making it a very flexible solution. Spilt systems are ideal where single or multiple rooms are to be serviced and is a great way to maximise comfort while keeping purchase, installation and running costs to a minimum.

Common questions

Common questions about ducted evaporative

The main operating component is located on your roof. No chemicals or refrigerants are used, and this unit cools the surrounding air using water vapour. Hot, dry air is drawn from outside and passed through water-soaked cooling pads within the unit. These pads absorb heat from the air to evaporate the water, and an internal fan then pumps the resulting cooled air through the home's duct network for distribution.

The cost of evaporative air conditioning would be significantly less than a reverse cycle system to service the same size home. The final cost will be determined by the unit selected, the size of your home and the installation requirements. This may include access, your roof material and any complexities relating to the installation process. The experienced team at Mouritz will provide recommendations on the system that best matches your requirements and budget.

While evaporative air conditioning is generally more cost-effective than reverse cycle systems in both the short and long term, it is important to note that evaporative systems only provide cooling. Consequently, a separate heating solution would be required for your home which should be considered when evaluating overall costs. Effective insulation also reduces reliance on air conditioning, lowering long-term costs. Finally, another consideration would be the addition of solar panels to your home. Mouritz offers some very attractive solar power solutions which will also significantly reduce overall running costs.

To ensure your evaporative air conditioner remains functional and efficient, it is important to have it serviced regularly. During a professional service, a qualified Mouritz technician will inspect all components, including valves and water lines, for leaks or drips. They also ensure outlets are free of restrictions and test the fan on all settings. In addition to these mechanical checks, the unit undergoes a thorough cleaning. Removing dust and debris from the filter pads, screens, blades, nozzles, and water pump allows the system to operate at maximum efficiency. While the cost of servicing depends on your specific model it is generally recommended to have your unit professionally serviced once or twice a year. When you’re ready, book a service online.

Upgrading from an evaporative system to reverse cycle air conditioning provides the benefit of integrated heating and more effective cooling. While the components and operations of these systems differ significantly, there are potential gains from making a ‘switch’ which usually deliver cost savings. Mouritz specialises in "Evap Upgrades," and we would welcome the opportunity to discuss how we can assist you with this transition should you already have an evaporative system.
