Ducted reverse cycle heating and cooling, designed for your Melbourne home.
Alpha Air designs and installs ducted air conditioning for Melbourne homes, bringing heating and cooling together in one reverse cycle system. Conditioned air travels through a network of ducts to discreet outlets in the rooms you want to use.
Also called ducted refrigerated air conditioning, this system uses refrigerant to transfer heat. It can cool your home in summer and provide heating in winter. Performance and running costs depend on the equipment, design, insulation and how the system is used.
Ducted reverse cycle can suit Melbourne homeowners seeking a concealed heating and cooling solution across several rooms. It is worth considering for new builds, renovations and replacements where suitable space and access are available.
Our assessment considers the ceiling or underfloor space, duct routes, return-air location, outdoor unit position, electrical requirements and your household’s routine. Limited access or a flat roof can make a multi-split system a more practical option.
If you are still comparing system types, visit our air conditioning installation Melbourne page for an overview of the options and installation process.
A correctly sized ducted system distributes heated or cooled air through outlets around your home. Capacity should be based on the rooms served, insulation, glazing, orientation and expected use.
Choosing a larger unit alone does not guarantee better comfort. The equipment, duct sizes, airflow and return-air arrangement need to work together.
Most of the ducted system is concealed within your ceiling or underfloor space, with outlets and a return-air grille visible inside. Outlet positions and styles should be considered alongside the room layout and the airflow each area needs.
For a new build or renovation, planning the duct routes early helps coordinate the heating and cooling design with the rest of the home.
Zoning divides the home into areas that can be controlled according to the system design. This can help you direct conditioning towards occupied spaces instead of treating every room the same way.
Separate room temperatures, Wi-Fi control and the number of zones depend on the equipment and controller selected. We explain the available options and any minimum-airflow requirements. Savings vary with your home, settings and usage.
A ducted installation starts with assessing the property and designing the system. We consider capacity, duct routes, outlet positions, zoning, return air and access before recommending the equipment.
For an existing Melbourne home, the assessment also establishes whether old ductwork and outlets are suitable for the proposed system. Reusing existing components depends on their condition and compatibility.
The system capacity, number of outlets and zones, ductwork, controller, electrical work and installation access all affect the quote. Removal of old equipment or changes to the ceiling layout can also affect the work required.
Ask for a written scope showing equipment, inclusions and exclusions. We confirm the expected installation schedule after assessment; some straightforward projects may be completed in a day, while more complex work takes longer.
A ducted reverse cycle system is an electric heat pump that provides both heating and refrigerated cooling. This differs from gas ducted heating, which uses gas to provide warmth and needs a separate cooling solution.
If you are considering replacing gas heating, we can assess the requirements for ducted reverse cycle at your Melbourne property and explain suitable alternatives.
