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.

  • Multi split system

    Rooms coveredSeveral rooms
    What you seeAn indoor unit in each room
    Separate temperature areasYes, room by room
    Installation costModerate
    Best suited toHomes where only some rooms need cooling
  • Single split system

    Rooms coveredOne room
    What you seeOne wall-mounted unit
    Separate temperature areasNo
    Installation costLower
    Best suited toBedrooms, units and single living areas

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

  1. 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.

  2. Fixed price quote

    You receive a fixed price quote for the installation, and you can accept it on the spot.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

TL;DR Precision electrical & air are excellent, and I have no hesitation to recommend them and to continue calling them up to perform future electrical work. _______________________________________ (essentially all of my jobs with precision has been aircon related, so I will be talking from that point of view) I have had Precision perform a few aircon jobs at my home over the past year; new aircon installs, aircon replacements and some smaller electrical work (new outlets + vent fans) and they have been excellent every single time. I have zero hesitation to recommend them, and have done so to colleagues and friends whenever the discussion of electrical work comes up. James has shown a high level of knowledge during the on-site quoting process, taking the time to explain what the work may look like, ideal options as well as potential alternate options for installation, placement, unit types and what the requirements will be for a proper installation to meet warranty requirements. He does this all with the requirements of the customer in mind, first and foremost achieving that requirement first and then presenting aforementioned options. He is also very responsive and detailed in answering queries I have asked to clarify some points before accepting quotes. Joel & Elliott have been the chaps that have come around to perform the numerous jobs, and they have been very, very considerate, patient and are clearly hard workers who take pride in their work. I usually WFH when the job is being performed, and the boys always kindly inform me when they need some assistance getting access to areas, when power needs to be turned off (saved me from suddenly dropping out of meetings) and when they run into some small bumps. All these "bumps" so far were immediately rectified and are very minor non-issues. The boys are also very accommodating, taking the little bit of extra time to clean up & help reset furniture (when able), explain thoroughly how the job went, anything to keep in mind with the new installs (AC drain pump), scoot over their vehicles when the wife needed to pop out for her work amongst many other things that minimized disruption to the household on the day. Pricing is quite reasonable, with the workmanship in mind I would say pricing is excellent. I look forward to having Precision perform further work on my home. (Roy)

This is the third time I have used the services provided by Precision Electrical. Very satisfied with the installation of my smoke alarms and repairs in the past and most recently two new outside fluorescent fittings, checking why the aircon had tripped the switch in the meter box and testing a powerpoint for possible repairs. James and his staff are always helpful and courteous. If you are looking for electrical services, I can highly recommend them.

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.
