Ducted Air Conditioning Prospect: Whole-Home Comfort
Ducted air conditioning in Prospect conditions the whole house from one rooftop system, and Prospect is the patch Prospect Air Conditioning installs, repairs and services them on most weeks of the year.
Welcome
Whole-Home Ducted Air Conditioning From a Local Team You Know
We have spent ten years on Adelaide roofs carrying a full ARC refrigeration and air conditioning licence, so your ducted job runs legally and cleanly from first quote to final commissioning.
In detail
What a Ducted System Actually Is
A ducted system hides its indoor unit in the roof space and pushes conditioned air through insulated ducts to ceiling outlets in the rooms you choose. One outdoor compressor drives the lot, so nothing hangs on your walls.
A wall controller, usually near the kitchen or hallway, sets the temperature and the zones. Pick a reverse-cycle unit and the same system heats the house through winter.
In detail
Who Ducted Aircon Suits Here
The suburb is mostly detached houses and semi-detached pairs built before 1940 and through the 1940s to 1960s, and that housing stock decides whether ducted is the right call.
Renovated Villas
Renovated villas with usable roof space are the natural fit, because the ducts run above the ceilings and leave stone walls and return verandahs untouched. Zoning then conditions only the rooms in use.
Semi-Detached Pairs
Semi-detached pairs on medium-density blocks can take ducted too, provided the roof space is deep enough for the duct run and the return air path. We measure before we recommend.
Busy Households
Families near Blackfriars Priory School or Prescott College running bedrooms, studies and living areas at different hours benefit most from zoning. You cool the occupied rooms and leave the rest alone.

Cooling and Heating Through Adelaide Seasons
Adelaide summers string together days over 40, and a properly sized ducted system cycles through that load instead of flatlining. Winter here is genuinely cold, so reverse-cycle ducted units earn their keep heating the whole house in July.
Running costs
Ducted Running Costs and Zoning
Running cost is where ducted systems are won or lost, and three things decide it:
Zoning
Star ratings
Correct sizing
We size from floor area, ceiling height, orientation and insulation, then show you the numbers before you commit.

Why Ducted Work Done Properly Matters
A ducted install touches your roof structure, your ceilings and a sealed refrigerant circuit, so corners cut now cost you later.
Refrigerant Handling
Refrigerant work is licensed work, full stop. Every job runs under our full ARC refrigeration and air conditioning licence, so the circuit is charged, tested and sealed legally.
Ceiling Penetrations
Every outlet and the return air grille cut through your ceiling. We seal and finish them properly so you keep your insulation value and your plaster stays sound.
Duct Quality
Cheap ducting splits at the joints and leaks conditioned air into the roof space. We fit ducting rated for the job and fix it so it stays put.
Running Cost
A well-sealed, well-zoned system costs noticeably less to run than a rushed one. The difference shows up on every summer bill.

Good to know
Ducted Aircon Questions, Answered
Can a Federation cottage here take a ducted system?
Often yes, provided the roof space has room for the duct run and return air path, so we measure the ceiling cavity onsite before recommending ducted over split systems.
How long does a ducted installation take?
Most ducted jobs run two to three days depending on roof access and how many outlets your home needs, and you will have the timeline in the written quote.
Is ducted more expensive to run than wall splits?
Ducted costs more per hour than one wall split but less than running five of them, so zoning to the occupied rooms is what keeps a ducted system's running cost honest.
Can I spread the cost of a ducted install?
Yes, interest-free finance through Humm is available for larger jobs, and we can walk you through the application when we do the quote.
Do you service existing ducted systems?
We do, including repairs, cleaning and replacement of older ducted systems, all under our full ARC refrigeration and air conditioning licence.
