The Trusted Name in Adelaide for Ducted Reverse Cycle Air Conditioning

Whatever the weather is like outside enjoy year-round climate control inside with a fully installed Ducted reverse cycle system from Simmonds Heating and Cooling.
Ducted reverse cycle systems comprise of a central unit installed in the roof which is powered by a compressor located outside the home. The indoor unit is connected via ductwork to a series of outlets installed in the rooms that will require heating or cooling. Ducted air conditioning Adelaide offers the benefit of refrigerated cooling in summer and then with the flick of a switch heating in winter all from the same outlets.
Simmonds Heating and Cooling supply ducted reverse cycle units using the latest in inverter technology helping you to further reduce your systems energy consumption.

How does reverse cycle air conditioning work?

Reverse cycle air conditioning extracts heat from the outside air, even on mid-winter nights, and transfers it inside. A refrigerant is passed through an external coil, absorbing heat from the outside air. This refrigerant is then pumped through a compressor into a fan coil unit (or ‘condenser’) inside the home, releasing its heat into the room.
Up to three or more units of heat can be transferred for every unit of electricity used to run reverse cycle air conditioning in Adelaide. Therefore, running costs can be as low as one-third of those for direct element heaters. By reversing the flow of this refrigerant, reverse cycle air conditioners also provide efficient refrigerative cooling in summer.

Ducted Reverse Cycle Air Conditioning

Ducted systems are designed to centrally heat and cool a large number of rooms or an entire home. They can be suitable if you have an open-plan house, and/or prefer heating and cooling in all or most rooms of your house simultaneously.
They are more expensive to purchase but can be the most energy efficient form of climate control than other types of air conditioners, as they heat and cool larger areas.


Ducted systems consist of:

Filters can be attached to the grille to reduce dust circulation. Wherever possible, it is recommended that ducted systems be zoned. Zoning divides a home into two or more sections that can be heated or cooled separately.
This enables living areas to be conditioned during the day and sleeping areas at night, reducing running costs by up to 50%.

FAQ’s

The cost of ducted air conditioning in Adelaide depends on the size of your home, the number of zones, the system capacity, the brand selected, duct layout, roof access, electrical requirements and whether it is a new installation or replacement. A smaller single-storey home will usually cost less than a large multi-zone home or a more complex installation. The most accurate way to price ducted air conditioning is through an on-site assessment, where Simmonds Heating & Cooling can recommend the right system size and provide a clear installation quote.
Yes. Ducted reverse cycle air conditioning is well suited to Adelaide because it provides both cooling and heating from one central system. It can keep your home cool during hot South Australian summers and warm through winter, making it a strong year-round comfort solution. It is especially useful for families who want whole-home temperature control rather than separate systems in individual rooms. With zoning, you can also control different areas of the home separately, which helps improve comfort and reduce unnecessary energy use.
The best ducted air conditioning system for your home depends on your floor plan, room sizes, insulation, ceiling space, window orientation, number of occupants and how you use different areas of the house. There is no single system that suits every Adelaide home. A professional assessment is the best way to determine the correct capacity, zoning layout, duct design and brand option. Simmonds Heating & Cooling can assess your home and recommend a ducted system that is suitable for your comfort needs, budget and long-term running requirements.
Ducted air conditioning is often better than split systems when you want to heat and cool the whole home. Split systems can be a good option for single rooms, bedrooms, small offices or extensions, but several wall-mounted units may be needed to cover multiple rooms. Ducted air conditioning uses one central system with vents throughout the home, creating a cleaner look and more consistent comfort. For larger Adelaide homes, open-plan living areas and families wanting whole-home control, ducted air conditioning is often the more practical long-term solution.
Ducted reverse cycle air conditioning offers more complete climate control than evaporative cooling because it provides both heating and cooling. Evaporative cooling can work well in Adelaide’s dry summer conditions, but it does not provide heating and may be less effective in humid weather. Reverse cycle air conditioning allows you to set a specific temperature, use zoning and maintain more consistent comfort throughout the year. For homeowners wanting one system for both summer and winter, ducted reverse cycle is often a stronger option.
Yes. Ducted reverse cycle air conditioning can replace evaporative cooling, and many Adelaide homeowners choose this option when upgrading older systems. However, the existing evaporative cooling ductwork may not be suitable for reverse cycle air conditioning because the airflow, insulation and duct design requirements are different. Before replacing an evaporative system, Simmonds Heating & Cooling can inspect the home, assess the existing ductwork and recommend the best replacement approach for reliable heating and cooling performance.
Yes. Ducted reverse cycle air conditioning can replace ducted gas heating and provide both heating and cooling from one system. This can be a good option for homeowners who want to modernise their home comfort system or reduce reliance on separate gas heating and cooling equipment. Before replacing ducted gas heating, the home needs to be assessed for system capacity, ductwork suitability, electrical requirements, zoning and installation access. Simmonds Heating & Cooling can advise whether replacement is practical and recommend the right system.
Many ducted air conditioning installations can be completed in one to two days, depending on the size of the home, roof space, access, duct layout, number of zones and whether an old system needs to be removed. More complex homes, two-storey properties, larger systems or replacement jobs may take longer. During the quoting process, Simmonds Heating & Cooling can explain the expected installation timeframe, what work is involved and how to prepare your home before the installation team arrives.
Zoning is recommended for many ducted air conditioning systems, especially in larger Adelaide homes. Zoning allows you to control different areas separately, such as bedrooms, living areas and rarely used rooms. This can improve comfort and help reduce unnecessary energy use because you do not always need to heat or cool the entire home at once. The right zoning setup depends on your floor plan and how your household uses the space. Simmonds Heating & Cooling can design a zoning layout that suits your home.
