Ducted Air Conditioning

At Cairns Aircon Installers, we design and install ducted air conditioning systems in residential, office and industrial buildings. Our technicians are employed for their experience and expertise, the high quality of their work, and their attention to customer service. We will calculate the correct ducted system to suit your home and your budget.

The Advantages Of Ducted Air Conditioning

Ducted air conditioners are suitable for most households and offer features no other type of air conditioner can match:

• Whole-home comfort. Cool your entire house with a stable, even temperature. Wherever you are in the house, you’ll feel relaxed and comfortable.
• Zoning, if you value energy efficiency and don’t want to cool rooms that aren’t being used, zone your system: a bedroom zone for nighttime, a living zone for the day.
• Incredibly discreet, the only parts you see are the vents in the ceiling. All the operating equipment is safely concealed, so there’s no wall unit to decorate around.
• Accessible, even though it’s inconspicuous, everything remains easily accessible for maintenance and repair.
• Adds value, a fully ducted, zoned system is a genuine selling feature on any Cairns home.

New Builds & Existing Homes

The best time to install a ducted system is during construction of a new home, the vast majority of our new-build customers choose ducted because it covers all living and sleeping areas with a single outdoor condenser. We work in with your builder so ducting, drains and power are roughed in at the right stage.

That doesn’t mean your existing home isn’t suitable. Highset Queenslanders, block homes and most modern builds around Cairns can usually be retrofitted. Book a free site assessment and we’ll confirm on the spot.

Sizing, Zoning & Design

Every ducted quote includes a room-by-room heat load calculation. In the tropics this matters more than anywhere else in Australia, an undersized system will run continuously through the build-up, while an oversized one won’t dehumidify properly and will leave the house feeling clammy. We design the zoning around how you actually live, and we’ll show you the running-cost difference between options before you commit.

Brands We Install

We recommend three leading brands of ducted air conditioning: Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric and Fujitsu. Our experience has shown these brands are top quality, with parts readily available locally. Installation is normally completed in 1–2 days depending on the complexity of the job.
