Picking the air conditioning system for your home or office can feel overwhelming. Two common choices are ducted air conditioning and split systems. Both options come with their Advantages and Drawbacks catering to preferences and needs. In this blog post we’ll delve into the strengths and weaknesses of each system to assist you in making an informed choice.
Ducted Air Conditioning
Advantages
Uniform Cooling; Ducted systems ensure cooling across all rooms keeping every corner of your house at a temperature. Visual Appeal; Opting for ducted systems means only the vents are visible maintaining an tidy appearance, in your living space. Quiet Performance; The central unit is typically placed in the roof or outdoors resulting in quieter operation indoors. Zone Control; Many ducted systems offer zoning features allowing you to customise temperatures in zones independently.
Disadvantages
Higher Setup Expenses; Due, to their complexity and extensive ductwork requirements ducted systems usually entail installation costs. Time Consuming Installation; Installing a ducted system may take time in existing homes lacking pre installed ducts.When it comes to energy usage cooling your house may not be as efficient, as cooling rooms.
Lets take a look at Split Systems
Benefits
Affordable; Split systems are generally cheaper to set up and maintain compared to ducted systems. Energy Efficient; By targeting the rooms you use split systems can save energy. Lower your electricity costs. Easy Installation; Setting up split systems is quick and easy causing disruption to your home. Customisable Cooling; You can install units to cool areas providing personalised cooling where its most needed.
Drawbacks
Appearance Impact; The indoor units of split systems are visible which might not match all designs. Limited Area Coverage; Split systems are meant for rooms or small spaces so you might need units for a whole house cooling solution. Noise Levels; Indoor units of split systems can be louder than ducted ones. Modern models have made improvements in this area.

Your decision will hinge on factors, like budget, installation preferences and the unique cooling requirements of your living space.If you’re, in need of cooling for your home and are open to the installation costs a ducted system could be the ideal choice.
