What Is Ducted Air Conditioning?

Ducted air conditioning uses a central indoor unit connected to a network of insulated ducts installed within your ceiling or roof space. Conditioned air is distributed through discreet ceiling vents into multiple rooms, providing consistent temperatures throughout your property.

Most modern ducted systems also feature zoning technology, allowing you to heat or cool only the areas you're using, helping reduce energy consumption and running costs.
