Whole-Home Ducted Cooling and Heating for Modbury Houses
Ducted air conditioning is the whole-house option, and it is the one most of this suburb's housing stock is built for. We install it, replace it and keep it running, with the price fixed before we start.
One outdoor unit, outlets in every ceiling. A central unit in the roof feeds insulated ducting to each room, and reverse-cycle models heat as well as cool through an Adelaide winter. You can read more about who we are on our about page.
What a Ducted System Actually Is
One outdoor compressor. One indoor unit in the roof space. Ducting and ceiling outlets carrying the air to each room, with a controller on the wall.

Where It Sits
Which Modbury Homes Suit Ducted
The housing stock here decides this more than anything else. Modbury filled in fast through the 1960s and 1970s after the shopping centre opened at Tea Tree Plaza, and most streets carry single-storey brick and brick-veneer homes on regular blocks.

Running Costs Through Adelaide Seasons
Adelaide runs hot, dry summers and genuinely cold winters, and a ducted system earns its keep at both ends of the year if it is sized right.
How it works
What the Installation Involves
A ducted install is a bigger job than a split, and we run it properly from the first visit.

- 2
Fixed quote
You get the full price in writing before anything starts. No hourly rates, no bill shock.
- 3
The install
Roof unit, ducting runs, ceiling outlets, controller and zoning, usually one to two days in a single-storey brick home.
- 4
Testing and handover
Every zone, function and temperature tested, then we clean up and show you the controls.
For a first-time ducted install rather than a swap, see air conditioning installation.

Questions
Ducted Air Conditioning Questions
Can a 1970s brick home here get ducted for the first time?
Yes, most single-storey brick and brick-veneer homes from the Tea Tree Plaza era build-out have workable roof space, and we confirm access, switchboard capacity and outlet positions at the onsite assessment.
Is ducted worth it over several split systems?
Ducted usually wins once you want more than about three rooms covered, because one system and one set of controls beats a head unit on every wall, and zoning keeps running costs down.
How long does a ducted installation take?
A single-storey brick home is typically one to two days, including the roof unit, ducting runs, ceiling outlets, controller and full testing, with the timeline confirmed in your fixed quote.
Does ducted heating work through an Adelaide winter?
Yes, reverse-cycle ducted heats efficiently on cold nights, so one system covers both seasons, and we size it for the winter load as well as the summer heat.
What discounts do you offer on a ducted install?
New customers get $50 off first service, pensioners get 10% pensioner discount, and interest-free finance through Humm is available for larger jobs like a full ducted install.
