9 Benefits of a Ducted Air-Conditioning System
Ducted air conditioning systems use a central unit to cool or heat your entire home through a series of ducts and vents. These whole house systems are becoming more and more popular, and for good reason. They offer a ton of benefits that make them a great choice for your whole house and Australia’s ever-changing climate. Here are our top nine:
1. SOLUTIONS FOR ANY SPACE
Ducted air conditioning systems come in a range of capacities meaning there is a suitable solution available for any Aussie home. What’s more, in homes with limited roof space, there are multiple versatile options available. This includes the compact FDU series which has a low profile design allowing it to fit within tight roof cavities as well as the uniquely designed FDUA series which incorporates a splitable indoor unit allowing it to split into two parts for easier handling during installation.
2. ENERGY EFFICIENT
Due to their advanced component design and smart programming, ducted systems are quite energy efficient. This inherently means lower energy consumption and lower energy bills. This benefit is also multiplied when paired with zoning solutions.
3. ZONE CONTROL
Need to easily control the temperature in different areas of your home? With a zoning solution (such as Flexizone or Airzone), you can set different temperatures for different rooms, or even turn off the air conditioning in rooms you are not using. By only cooling or heating the areas you are using, ducted systems will use less energy and cost less to run.
4. YEAR ROUND COMFORT
All ducted systems are reverse cycle meaning they offer you the convenience of both heating and cooling functions. This means they are perfect for keeping you comfortable all year round. Maintain the perfect temperature throughout your home at the touch of a button that controls all rooms.
5. QUIET OPERATION
Ducted air conditioning systems are designed to operate quietly, making them ideal for use in bedrooms, living rooms, and other areas where noise might be an issue. All Mitsubishi Heavy Industries ducted systems (including the FDUM, FDU and FDUA series) also come with silent operation which reduces noise levels even further – perfect for nighttime and uninterrupted sleep.
6. IMPROVED AIR QUALITY
Ducted air conditioning systems come equipped with filters that help to remove pollutants and contaminants from the air. This can help to improve the air quality in your home or office, which can be especially beneficial for those with allergies or respiratory issues.
7. INCREASED PROPERTY VALUE
Another benefit of ducted systems is that they can increase the value of your property. These systems are a highly desirable feature for many homebuyers and renters, so having one can make your home more attractive to potential buyers or tenants.
8. EASY MAINTENANCE
Due to the system design, ducted air conditioning systems require little maintenance throughout their life. Just clean the filter regularly or get a professional in every once in a while to keep it running quietly and efficiently.
9. DISCREET DESIGN
The best ducted air conditioner systems virtually vanish into thin air (mind the pun). The indoor unit and ducting are located in the ceiling or bulkhead, with only the grilles being visible in your ceiling. This helps to maintain the aesthetic appeal of your home without sacrificing practicality.
