How long does a typical installation take?

For a standard high-wall split system, our teams can usually complete the installation in about half a day.

A fully ducted air conditioning installation is a larger project. For a standard single-storey home with good roof access, it typically takes a full day. For double-storey homes, complex roof designs, or jobs requiring extensive custom ductwork, the installation may take two days. We will always give you a clear timeline before the job begins so you know exactly what to expect.



Property Value: Does installing a new ducted system increase my home’s value?

Yes. In the Western Sydney property market, where summer temperatures regularly exceed 40 degrees, fully ducted air conditioning is considered a highly sought-after premium feature by home buyers and renters alike.

A modern, energy-efficient ducted system not only vastly improves your family’s lifestyle and comfort, but it adds genuine resale appeal to your property, often yielding a strong return on investment when it comes time to sell.



Upgrading an existing ducted system: Can I use my old ductwork?

In some cases, if your existing ductwork is relatively new, perfectly sized, and in excellent condition, we can connect a new ducted machine to it. However, in most upgrade scenarios, we recommend replacing the ducting.

Older ductwork often suffers from tears, crushed sections, or deteriorated tape, meaning you are blowing expensive conditioned air directly into your roof cavity. Additionally, modern ductwork features much higher R-value insulation, which keeps the air colder as it travels to your vents. During our free site visit, we will inspect your roof space and give you an honest assessment of whether your old ductwork can be salvaged.



Energy Efficiency: How much money can a new Inverter system save?

If you are upgrading from an old, fixed-speed air conditioner to a modern Inverter system, you will see a drastic drop in your running costs. Old systems operate like a light switch—they run at 100% power until the room is cold, shut off completely, and then turn back on at 100% power when the room warms up. This causes massive power spikes.

Modern Inverter technology acts more like the accelerator in a car. It gently ramps up the power to reach the desired temperature and then dials back to a low, steady speed to maintain it. Depending on your usage, upgrading to a new inverter system can save you anywhere from 30% to 50% on your heating and cooling electricity costs.



Repair vs. Replace: When is it time to upgrade my old air conditioner?

As a general rule, if your air conditioner is over 10 to 15 years old and facing a major breakdown, it is usually more cost-effective to replace it. Older units are prone to failing parts and often run on outdated, expensive refrigerants (like R22) that are being phased out by the government.

If the cost of repairing your old unit is more than a third of the cost of a brand new system, we strongly recommend upgrading. A new system will come with a fresh 5-year manufacturer warranty and will run significantly more efficiently, meaning the savings on your electricity bill will help pay for the new unit over time.
