Ducted reverse cycle

A ducted reverse cycle system has one indoor unit in the roof space and one outdoor unit beside the house. Insulated ducting runs from the indoor unit to an outlet in the ceiling of each room, and a return air grille somewhere central draws the house’s air back through a filter to be cooled or heated again.

The system is refrigerated, the same principle as a wall split, which is why it can heat as well as cool: in winter the cycle reverses and the outdoor unit pulls warmth out of the outside air and moves it in. That is what “reverse cycle” means, and it is the reason ducted systems suit Perth so well: dry heat in summer, cold mornings in winter, one system for both.

Zoning

Motorised dampers in the ducting split the house into zones, typically living, bedrooms and a master zone. The controller lets you run any combination. Running the living zone during the day and the bedrooms at night keeps the running cost close to a couple of splits, with the whole house available when you want it.

Smart Controllers

Take complete control of your ducted air conditioning with an iZone Nexus Smart Controller — with other leading smart control options also available.

Smart controllers give you convenient control over your ducted air conditioning, allowing you to manage temperature, zones and airflow from an easy-to-use touchscreen controller or compatible smart device.

With smart zoning, you can choose which areas of your home receive heating or cooling, helping improve comfort and potentially reduce energy use by only conditioning the areas you need.
