Ducted Air Conditioning Specialists on Brisbane’s Southside
A ducted air conditioning system cools and heats the whole house from one indoor unit in the roof space, with a small vent in the ceiling of each room. Precision Electrical & Air installs and services ducted systems for homes and offices across Brisbane’s southside, including Sunnybank, Holland Park, Mount Gravatt, Calamvale and Forest Lake.
We are electricians as well as air conditioning technicians, so the same team looks after the power supply, the switchboard and the refrigeration side of your ducted installation. Call 0423 163 359 to book a site visit.
How Ducted Air Conditioning Works
The indoor unit sits in the roof space and connects by refrigerant pipes to an outdoor unit, usually mounted beside the house. Insulated ducts carry the cooled or heated air from the indoor unit to vents in each room, and a return air grille draws the air back so the system can keep the temperature steady.
A reverse cycle ducted system cools the house in summer and heats it in winter from the same indoor and outdoor units. You control everything from a wall controller, so there are no separate portable heaters or wall units to manage.

Is Ducted Air Conditioning Right for Your Brisbane Home?
The right system depends on how many rooms you want to cool and how you use the house. Here is how the three main options compare.

If you want most of the house comfortable at the same time, a ducted system is usually the tidiest option. If you only need to cool a bedroom and a living area, our split system installation or multi split installation may suit you better, and we will explain the difference in running and installation cost during the site visit.

From minor repairs to new installations and full system upgrades, Precision Electrical & Air has you covered.
Ducted Air Conditioning Zoning
Zoning divides the house into areas that you can switch on and off separately. A common setup is one zone for the bedrooms and another for the living areas, so you can cool the bedrooms at night without running air through the kitchen and lounge room.
We work out the zones with you before installation, based on the layout of your home and the rooms you use most. Zoning also lets the system run at a lower output when only part of the house needs cooling, which helps keep power use down.

What Happens During a Ducted Air Conditioning Installation
Site visit and system design
We look at the size and layout of your home and check your switchboard. We then recommend a system size, the number of zones and the vent positions.
Fixed price quote
You receive a fixed price quote for the installation, and you can accept it on the spot.
Installation
Our technicians install the indoor unit, the ducting, the ceiling vents, the return air grille, the outdoor unit and the refrigerant pipework, then connect the system to power.
Testing and handover
We test the airflow in each zone, set up the controller and show you how to use it, including how to clean the return air filter.
Paperwork
Once the site is clean, we send the final invoice and the paperwork for the installation.
Switchboard and Three Phase Upgrades for Ducted Air Conditioning
A larger ducted system can need more power than an older switchboard can supply. If your switchboard needs an upgrade, or the system needs a three phase supply, our electricians handle that work as part of the same project, so you do not need to book a separate electrician.
If you are thinking about solar, installing it at the same time as a new air conditioning system is a practical way to offset the running costs. We can quote both together. For better airflow through the house, we also install ceiling fans, which help move the cooled or warmed air around larger rooms.

Ducted Air Conditioning Brands We Install
We install ducted systems from Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, Fujitsu and Panasonic. Rather than recommending one brand for every home, we choose the system capacity, the zoning and the controller that suit your house, and then compare the brands that offer that setup.
Ducted Air Conditioning Servicing and Cleaning
A ducted system needs regular cleaning and servicing to keep the airflow strong and the running costs down. The return air filter collects dust from the whole house, and a dirty filter makes the system work harder to reach the set temperature.
We service and repair ducted systems from all the major brands, including systems that another company installed. See our air conditioning repair and service page for what a service includes, or our air conditioner cleaning page if the vents or filters need a deep clean.

Licensed for the Electrical and Refrigeration Work
Ducted air conditioning involves both electrical work and refrigerant work. Precision Electrical & Air holds an electrical contractor licence and a Refrigerant Trading Authorisation from the Australian Refrigeration Council, and our technicians hold refrigerant handling licences.
The Australian Refrigeration Council requires a refrigerant handling licence for anyone who works on refrigerant equipment in a way that could release refrigerant.

Ducted Air Conditioning FAQs
01How much does ducted air conditioning cost in Brisbane?
The cost of ducted air conditioning depends on the size of your home, the system capacity, the number of zones, the brand and whether the switchboard needs an upgrade. We give you a fixed price quote after the site visit, so you know the full installation cost before any work starts.
02Can I add zones to my ducted air conditioning?
Yes. Modern ducted systems support zoning. If you already have a ducted system, we check the ductwork and the controller during a site visit to see whether extra zones can be added.
03Is ducted air conditioning better than split systems?
Ducted air conditioning suits you better if you want most of the house cooled or heated at once, because one system with zoning replaces several wall units. A split system suits you better if you only need one or two rooms cooled, because the installation cost is lower.
04Does ducted air conditioning need three phase power?
Whether your home needs a three phase supply or a switchboard upgrade depends on the size of the ducted system and the capacity of your existing switchboard. We check both during the site visit and include any electrical upgrade in the quote.
05Do you service ducted air conditioning that you did not install?
Yes. We service and repair ducted systems from all the major brands, including Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, Fujitsu, Panasonic and ActronAir, whoever installed them.
06How much does it cost to service a ducted air conditioner in Brisbane?
The cost of a ducted air conditioning service depends on the size of the system and its condition. Call us on 0423 163 359 with the brand and the age of the system, and we will quote the service before we book it in.
