Ducted reverse cycle systems heat and cool your home by extracting heat from the air outside, either pumping it inside during winter or removing it during summer by using refrigerant and coils.
Ducted reverse cycle systems are highly efficient, providing both heating and cooling, and are particularly well-suited for Melbourne’s varying climate. The efficiency varies depending on a variety of factors and it is important to receive expert advice when you are purchasing a Ducted Reverse Cycle System.
Yes, most systems offer zoning capabilities which don’t allow you to control the temperature in each room, but do allow you to turn areas on and off. Other brands offer special technology, allowing you to control the temperature in individual rooms or areas, improving your home comfort particularly with a larger number of people in the home.
It’s recommended to have your system professionally serviced at least once a year to ensure optimal performance and efficiency, especially before peak summer and winter seasons.
Installation costs vary based on the size of your home, the brand of the unit, and the complexity of the ductwork, but typically range from $8000 to $15000 for a standard system to multiple rooms.

Standard ductwork for a ducted heater uses 6” ducts. A Ducted Reverse Cycle system uses 8” ducts, meaning your ductwork may need to be replaced when converting to a Ducted Reverse Cycle system.
