Reverse cycle ducted air conditioning

A reverse cycle ducted system provides both heating and cooling through the same ducts, so there is no need for separate units or extra vents.

Design options like aluminium slot diffusers or bar grills create a modern, discreet finish.

  • A central unit heats or cools the air
  • Even distribution delivers consistent comfort in every room
  • Year round use keeps homes comfortable through Melbourne's hot summers and cold winters

How reverse cycle systems work

A reverse cycle system uses a refrigerant process to either absorb heat from inside and release it outdoors for cooling, or draw warmth from outside air and circulate it indoors for heating. This dual function makes it one of the most practical whole home climate solutions.

Because it uses a single ducted network, reverse cycle air conditioning creates even temperatures across every room. For households wanting precise control, zoning can also be installed, giving you the option to heat or cool specific areas instead of the entire home.

  • Even distribution: consistent temperature across your home
  • Zoning flexibility: control individual areas to save energy
  • Design friendly options: diffusers and grills that blend into ceilings
