Frequently Asked Questions

What is ducted heating and cooling, and how does it work?

Ducted heating and cooling is a centralized system that uses a network of ducts to distribute air throughout a building. A heating unit or air conditioner generates the air, and the ducts deliver it to different rooms.

Can ducted systems be used for both heating and cooling?

Yes, ducted systems are designed for both heating and cooling. They have a reversible cycle, allowing them to provide warm air in winter and cool air in summer, making them a versatile solution for year-round comfort.

What is the typical lifespan of a ducted heating and cooling system?

The lifespan can vary, but well-maintained systems can last 15-20 years or more. Regular servicing and addressing issues promptly can extend the life of your system.

How often should I service my ducted heating and cooling system?

Regular maintenance is crucial for optimal performance. It's recommended to have your system serviced annually to ensure it operates efficiently and to identify any potential issues early on.

Zoning allows you to divide your home into different temperature zones, enabling you to heat or cool specific areas independently. This can result in energy savings and personalized comfort for different household members.
