What Affects the Price of Ducted Air Conditioning?
The cost of ducted air conditioning isn't one-size-fits-all. Here’s what influences the final price:
Larger homes require more powerful systems. For example:
Small homes: 7–10kW
Medium homes: 10–14kW
Larger homes: 14kW+
More zones mean more motors, wiring, ducts, and control systems, which increases cost—but also improves efficiency and comfort.
There’s a difference between entry-level and premium brands:
Premium: Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric
4. Home Layout & Installation Complexity
Difficult roof access, multi-storey homes, or tight ceiling spaces can increase installation time and cost.
Standard zone controls are included in basic packages, but Wi-Fi-enabled smart controllers or touchscreens add to the price.
Brick veneer with plaster interior walls is the best case scenario for installation. Large Besser blocks, cement walls and asbestos will add to the price.
A properly installed ducted air conditioning system provides:
Whole-home comfort in all seasons
Increased energy efficiency through zoning
Higher property value
Discreet, quiet climate control
No water leaks in ceiling space
Piece of mind
Whether you choose a premium or entry-level system, investing in the right setup will pay off in lower power bills, fewer repairs, and better comfort for years to come.
