If you're looking to install ducted, reverse cycle air conditioning, there some important facts you need to be aware of. These will help you gauge whether your choice will be sound one, or if there are better alternatives for you in the market. 

Be advised, that weather conditions will affect your choice. Regions with hot and dry summers coupled with cold, wet winters will be best served by reverse cycle ACs. Installing such an air conditioner will provide cooling for your house during the summer, and give extra heat to your home in winter.

Ease of Installation in Different Homes

Many new homes come fitted with ducted air conditioners. This doesn't mean, however, that owners of older homes shouldn't enjoy the services provided by ducted reverse air conditioning units. A professional air conditioning service should be able to assess the viability and approach to be taken to have ducted reverse cycle air conditioning installed in your home or business.

Subject to the layout of the house and its age, different AC options are available to you to provide ducted reverse cycle air conditioning efficiently. The option to offer your home or business the greatest utility will be determined by a few factors including;

Roof Space

Depending on the type of roof your house has, you might lack roof space for ducts to be placed. A suitable alternative to this would be to install the AC ducts beneath the floor space. With proper analysis, an HVAC contractor will be able to advise on the appropriate installation approach to use. Such a contractor will help you minimise installation costs and reduce installation time significantly.

The Size and Style of the Home

This is another significant consideration you will need to take into account. The style of the house, whether single or multi-storey will determine the type of ducted reverse cycle air conditioning option best for your home. Additionally, a more prominent home would translate to the installation of additional ducts and other components all-round the house.

The House Zones and Total Outlets Needed

The house layout may offer certain advantages in the setting up of control zones for the AC unit. These zones will enable simultaneous cooling and heating of different areas of the house. Additionally, you need to consider where duct vents will be placed around the home and the outlet positions necessary.

Ducted reverse cycle air conditioning is a great option for your house. You should not be put off by the perceived installation barriers that come with existing houses. Instead, talk to an experienced air conditioning contractor. Together, you can work around any obstacles determined to ensure your home and family enjoy the quality air conditioning you deserve.
