Why You Should Consider Installing Ducted Air Conditioning

Installation of an air conditioning unit tops the list of most homeowners during hot summer months. However, the biggest challenge is always how to choose between a split and a ducted air conditioner. If you want a reliable heating and cooling system that will serve you all year round, you might want to consider a ducted system.

To understand why a ducted air conditioner is suitable for your home, consider the following benefits. 

Zoning Capabilities

With ducted air conditioning, you can climatize different areas in your home. This way, you don't waste energy cooling unused or empty rooms. For instance, you can cool the rooms you spend the most time in during the day (like your living room), then cool your bedrooms in the evening. This strategy enhances your home's energy efficiency and saves you money as well. 

Even better, a ducted system is highly customizable. It comes with a controller that allows you to set a room's temperatures based on the occupant's preferences. Without a zoning system in place, the air conditioner cools down even the unused rooms, which ultimately raises your utility bills. 

Your ducted system does not strain to maintain desired temperatures, thanks to thermostats installed in each zone. Consequently, your HVAC system experiences less wear and tear, which extends your system's life. 

Affordable Installation

With a split air conditioner unit, you have to install several handling units to heat and cool multiple rooms. Also, a visible unit hanging on the wall dramatically affects your home's aesthetics. 

On the other hand, you only need to install a single ducted system in your roof or ceiling. The ducted system is almost invisible, so your home's décor remains intact.

The installer builds the ducts and vents into your home's internal workings. The process is relatively seamless, with only vents and a controller on display. If your roof or ceiling lacks space to accommodate a ducted air conditioner, a professional can set up the ducted AC system in a fitting space beneath the floor. 

Value for Money 

For a bigger home (four bedrooms at least), you have to invest in multiple split systems — not forgetting each unit's maintenance and repair costs.

But while the initial installation cost for a ducted system could be high, the investment eventually pays off with low running costs. A ducted ac unit is not only functional during summer but also winter, thanks to a reverse cycle system that allows the system to heat and cool. Therefore, you don't need to invest in a heating system when winter kicks in. 

Install a ducted air conditioner in your home to enjoy these benefits. Also, look for reputable AC professionals to install your ducted air conditioner properly.
