Although Australia experiences a wide range of temperature conditions wherever you are in the country. During summer, you will require a well-maintained operational air-conditioning unit to keep your home or workspace comfortable. In this article, we will take a glance at the benefits of using a ducted air-conditioning system in your home or work living space.
For larger living or working spaces central air conditioning otherwise known as ducted air conditioner is a system designed to both heat and cool your premises with connections to each room and both indoor and outdoor units. While the exterior unit allows hot or cold air to flow into the premises the internal unit sends the air through ducts to heat or cool each room of the home or office.
Why use a Ducted System?
In large residential buildings an attractive, smooth-lined interior aesthetic is often preferable to the bulky image of interior units in each of the rooms. The diffuses and grills are hidden flush with the ceilings or floors to allow for a symmetrical living space. For offices and commercial retail outlets, a ducted system provides a more professional atmosphere and appearance as opposed to singular units.
In commercial and industrial properties, while better aesthetics are a factor, ducted systems are often preferred because of the higher cooling power required and the lower costs incurred. A ducted air-conditioning system requires less maintenance, thus lower costs, as individual units do not need to be attended to at different times. One yearly, or six-month inspection, should be sufficient to ensure that the entire unit is running smoothly.
Users often find deducted air conditioning is more versatile, and can work alongside fresh air systems, and as an additional bonus these systems feature UV lamps to kill bacteria and improve the overall quality of the indoor air which is essential in both commercial properties with health and safety regulations, and for the protection of family members in a home environment.
Singular Control Zonal Flexibility.
A single system connected to each space means one remote can be used to control the temperature in the entire living or working space. Although ducted air conditioning allows for complete control of the air temperature of an entire living space, with some systems, some zones (or rooms) can be controlled separately. If certain spaces are not being used there is the opportunity for no unwanted energy being wasted. Zonal control can also allow you to set different climates for each zone to suit the occupancy.
Reduced noise.
The beauty of ducted air-conditioning systems is that while being out of sight, they should also be unheard, of and only felt. A fully operational ducted system creates the optimum living climate conditions using a totally silent and invisible system.
Property Value.
While ducted systems are becoming more affordable their desirability is on the increase. Installation into the home would likely increase the property value of your home if you decide to place it on the retail marketplace. With installation comparably cheaper than installing several units this could be a shrew property investment over time.
Efficiency and Cost.
If you are looking to run air-conditioning in a small apartment or home then split air-conditioning will be cheaper to install and bills will be smaller. However, if you are looking at running a larger home or commercial space then you will save money on a ducted air-conditioning system. This is especially true if you are using the latest smart home zonal control mode.
Conclusion
If you’re looking at running an individual room or smaller space that is not a commercial or retail unit then split systems may be the way to go. If, however, you are looking at running three or more rooms in your home or are looking at running a commercial, office, retail, or larger residential block, like an apartment block, then ducted air-conditioning is your best bet.
In Australia, heating and cooling is an essential component of our everyday life, and choosing the right system is imperative to our quality of life. The benefits of a ducted air-conditioning system above should be taken into consideration when making a choice about your own particular comfort zone.
