Ducted reverse cycle in Melbourne homes
Ducted reverse cycle is one unit in the roof feeding every room through ducts, with zones so you only run what you need. It has quietly become the default in Melbourne's new estates and the upgrade of choice when a ducted gas heater dies. Serviced yearly it lasts 15 to 20 years. Zone motors, the return-air filter and the condensate drain are the usual service items; compressor faults and refrigerant leaks in the roof are the expensive ones.
Brands we work on: Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, Fujitsu, Panasonic, ActronAir, Temperzone, Samsung, LG.
Signs you need a technician
- Some rooms hot, some cold, with zones that don't respond
- Weak airflow from the vents
- Water marks on the ceiling near the unit
- Unit runs but the house never reaches the set temperature
- Loud outdoor unit or vibration through the roof
- Controller error codes
When to replace instead of repair
A ducted system past 15 years with a compressor fault, or one where the ducting has collapsed in the roof, is a replacement conversation. Modern inverters use about half the power of a 2008 unit, which usually closes the gap within a few years.
Replacement optionsCommon questions
How much does ducted reverse cycle cost to run?
Zoned well, a 14 kW system costs about the same per hour as two split systems running together. The savings come from only running the zones you're in.
Can I add zones to an existing system?
Often yes, if the ductwork and controller support it. We check both on a service visit.
Is ducted or multiple splits better?
Ducted is cleaner-looking and quieter inside; splits are cheaper to install and let each room be fully independent. For a 3 to 4 bedroom home with a roof space, ducted usually wins.
How long does an install take?
One to two days for a typical home.
