Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between split system and ducted air conditioning?
A split system is made up of one indoor unit and one outdoor unit, ideal for cooling or heating individual rooms. It’s cost-effective, energy-efficient and great for bedrooms or living areas.
Ducted systems, on the other hand, cool or heat the entire home through ducts installed in the ceiling or floor. They're more expensive upfront but offer a cleaner look and better climate control for large or multi-room properties.
The right choice depends on your home’s layout, insulation, usage and budget.
How do I know what size air conditioner I need?
Air con sizing depends on room size, ceiling height, insulation, number of windows, and even how many people use the room. Undersized units struggle to keep up and run constantly, while oversized systems cycle on and off too quickly, wasting energy.
A professional installer can assess your space and calculate the right kilowatt capacity to keep things comfortable without overspending on power bills or hardware.
Is it worth upgrading an old air conditioning unit?
Yes, especially if your current unit is over 10 years old, noisy, leaking or using more power than it should. Modern systems are far more efficient, quieter and often compatible with smart controls.
Newer refrigerants are also better for the environment. Upgrading can mean lower running costs, better air quality and fewer repairs in the long run. Plus, government rebates may apply depending on your region and system choice.
Ducted vs. Split System Air Conditioning
Unsure about which air conditioner will best suit your needs? While both ducted and split systems will provide cool comfort, there are some key differences between them.
Ducted air conditioning offers:
- Zoning — allowing to cool or heat each room individually
- Quiet cooling & heating throughout the entire property & larger spaces
- Easy temperature control from an LCD control panel
Split system air conditioning offers:
- Flexible installation in selected rooms
- Additional units can be added at anytime
- Easily cool or heat smaller spaces & apartments
