Ducted reverse cycle air conditioning

Enjoy year-round comfort from Mouritz

Ducted reverse cycle air conditioning is one of the most efficient and convenient ways to heat and cool your home. There are many advantages and it’ a great choice delivering year-round comfort keeping you cool during summer and warm during winter without the need for separate cooling and heating systems.

Mouritz can supply and install a reverse cycle air conditioning system to service several rooms or your entire home. Most systems are set up to allow different areas in your home to be controlled independently, and these are called zones. The number of zones included with each system is determined by the size of the home and your specific needs.

Ducted air conditioning is unobtrusive with the main operating components hidden away outside and in the roof spaces. Inside the home, ceiling vents deliver the warm or cool air which is adjusted from a controller or in many instances also from your smart phone.

Every system we install is designed considering your lifestyle, operating requirements and budget. We offer air conditioning systems from the leading brands incorporating the most up to date technology delivering 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.

You’re always in control

Keep all the family happy

One of the main advantages of a ducted air conditioning system is the ability to control the delivery of air through zone control. The number of zones is determined by the size and design of the home and your specific needs.

Zones can be set up to include several rooms for example, ‘living areas’ or for individual rooms such as a ‘bedroom’. The temperature in each room is regulated using built-in thermostats. This means everyone can be kept comfortable as different temperatures can be set for each zone.

This also helps you save on your power bill by only heating or cooling the areas you select. This translates to less excess power usage and more money in your pocket.

All air conditioning systems come with controllers that deliver useful functions including timers allowing you to set the system to come on just before you get home or turn off after you’ve gone to sleep. Additionally, connection to your smart phone allows for remote operation and control from almost anywhere.

Is ducted reverse cycle right for me?

Relax, Mouritz has you covered

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. However, if you require a cooling only solution, or want to air condition only a couple of rooms then an Evaporative or a Spit System from Mouritz could be the perfect alternative.

Ducted evaporative

A ducted evaporative system from Mouritz offers a convenient cooling only solution for your home. As with a ducted reverse cycle systems zones can be established to cool all or part of your home as needed. One of the main advantages of an evaporative system are low running costs.

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.

Pros and cons

A quick summary of all the important stuff before you invest in DRC

Pros

  • Reverse cycle systems provide both heating and cooling delivering overall temperature control throughout your 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 the ability to heat or cool only the areas in your home being used.
  • The ability to use the system in the desired zones means that power usage can be controlled.
  • Humidity levels do not affect the function of ducted air conditioning systems.
  • Ducted air conditioners have a long usable lifespan maximising your investment over time.

Worth knowing

  • Depending on the requirements more complex designs can sometimes make the initial installation cost expensive.
  • Systems for larger homes require more powerful units which can contribute to higher running costs.
  • Unlike an evaporative cooling system, doors and windows should remain closed while the air conditioning system is operating.

Common questions

Common questions about ducted reverse cycle

The system utilises refrigerants that flow through coils connecting the indoor and outdoor units. To cool, the refrigerant absorbs heat from inside your home and redistributes it outdoors. For heating, this cycle is simply reversed.

The cost of ducted air conditioning depends on the size of your home, the number of areas you wish to service, and the brand and model selected. Larger homes with multiple rooms require more substantial units, which are more expensive and can be more complex to install, especially in two-storey homes. The experienced team at Mouritz will provide recommendations on the system that best matches your requirements and budget.

Put simply, running costs will be determined by the size of system installed, the more areas covered in your home and obviously the extent of use. Importantly, your property's thermal insulation also plays a significant role. Effective insulation reduces reliance on air conditioning, lowering long-term costs and allowing you to efficiently heat or cool only the areas currently in use. The specific model you choose is also important. Purchase price, installation, and running costs vary based on performance characteristics. Prioritising energy efficiency can save money on power over time. 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 ducted air conditioner functions effectively and efficiently, it’s important to have the system serviced regularly. Over time, units experience wear and tear that could eventually lead to parts needing replacement. During a standard service, a Mouritz Technician will examine your system’s components to identify any parts that need repair or replacement before they become serious issues. Additionally, servicing addresses dust build-up, which can lower air quality and decrease efficiency. Proper cleaning allows the system to function optimally. Typically, it is best to have your ducted air conditioner serviced at least once a year.

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.

Ducted reverse cycle air conditioning is ideal for residential homes and is also suitable for most commercial applications. For example, shopping centres have high foot traffic and several spacious spaces that need to be kept at optimal temperature and require the circulation of new air. A ducted air conditioning system can fulfil both requirements very effectively. The Mouritz team has extensive experience in designing, installing and servicing many commercial air conditioning solutions.
