Ducted vs Split System Air Conditioning: Which Is Right for You?
Advice from DHG Electrical Services
When it comes to cooling a Queensland home, the two main choices are split systems and ducted air conditioning. The right one depends on your home, your budget and how much of the house you want to cool.
A split system cools one room or open area with an indoor head and an outdoor unit. It is the most affordable option, quick to install, and efficient because you only cool the rooms you are using. A multi-head system can run several indoor units from one outdoor unit, which suits homes wanting a few key rooms covered.
Ducted systems cool the whole home through vents in the ceiling, controlled by zones so you can direct cooling where it is needed. The unit is hidden in the roof, so the look is clean and discreet. It costs more up front, needs roof space, and larger systems may need three-phase power.
Air conditioning work needs a licensed electrician and, for the refrigerant side, an ARC-licensed installer. We size the system to the rooms and install it neatly, so it performs well and runs efficiently for years.
