Our easy-to-follow guide walks you through everything you need to know, from installation costs to the benefits of each system. We’re here to help you find the perfect heating and cooling solution—and make the most of those rebates along the way.
Types of Heating and Cooling Systems
From split systems to ducted and evaporative cooling, each option offers unique benefits and applications. Here’s an overview of the types of heating and cooling systems we install:
- Single Split Systems
- Multi Head Split Systems
- Ducted Air Conditioning
Perfect for single rooms, split systems are compact, energy-efficient, and ideal for keeping each room just the way you like it.
- Lower Initial Cost: A single split system typically has a lower upfront cost, making it a budget-friendly choice for individual spaces.
- Simple Installation: With one indoor and one outdoor unit, installation is quick and straightforward, saving on time and labor.
- Energy Efficiency for Small Spaces: Great for small spaces, a single split system reduces overall energy consumption by focusing power where you need it most.
Looking to control the temperature across several rooms? A multi-split system offers the flexibility to cool or heat several rooms with just one outdoor unit. This solution combines the benefits of a split system with the convenience of controlling multiple zones independently.
- Space-Saving Design: With just one outdoor unit connecting to multiple indoor units, you save on exterior space while maintaining a neat look.
- Zoned Comfort: Each indoor unit can be individually controlled, allowing for customised temperature settings in different rooms or zones, providing personalised comfort for each area.
- Energy Efficiency for Larger Spaces: A multi-split system can be more energy-efficient than installing multiple single split systems, as it minimises the energy consumption of multiple outdoor units, while still offering precise control over each zone.
Ducted systems offer whole-house comfort, circulating air through hidden ducts to provide even, consistent temperatures throughout your home.
- Whole-Home Comfort: Ducted systems are designed to evenly distribute conditioned air throughout every room or zone in your home, ensuring consistent comfort in every area. Whether you need cooling in summer or heating in winter, a ducted system can maintain the desired temperature across the entire house.
- Invisible Design: With the ability to hide both the indoor unit and ductwork within the ceiling or floor, ducted systems maintain a clean, clutter-free interior. This space-saving design is ideal for homeowners who prefer a minimalistic aesthetic without sacrificing performance or comfort.
- Zoning Flexibility: Many ducted systems come with zoning capabilities, allowing you to control the temperature in different areas of the home independently. This means you can set different temperatures for living areas, bedrooms, or offices, optimising energy efficiency by only conditioning the rooms in use.
