Ducted Air Conditioning Central Coast

Air is pumped via a system of pipes and ducts, located in the roof space. This air flow is powered by a unit that sits outside of the building and another unit that is based within the roof. These two units are the engine that pushes the air throughout the building.

Ducts are silver, which helps to reflect heat better, allowing the air to remain cool as it moves through the series of ducts. A steel coil inside the duct adds strength to the system and extra insulation to help with lower energy consumption from the entire system.

Systems will often utilise ‘zoning’, which greatly increases the efficiency of the system. Essentially the building is broken up into a series of ‘zones’, which can be both rooms and living spaces, allowing the user to control the air flow to each ‘zone’. Unlike split systems, ducted systems allow more multiple zones of cooling and heating.

Air regulators maintain the air being distributed to the zones of the house. The regulators open and close, which controls the air flow in each zone. Some zones can be turned off completely, with the regulators closing to restrict airflow to that particular area.

Once the air has circulated, it is returned to the system via air grilles situated throughout the home or building. Grilles can come in different shapes and sizes and are often the most visual points of the ducted system. Grilles help to purify the air as it circulates, which means it is important that they are cleaned regularly to ensure air purity in the home.

In summary, ducted air conditioners have both an inside unit and outside unit, working together to push the conditioned air throughout the home, which travels in a series of ducts to different zones – controlled and dispersed by diffusers and regulated by dampers.
