Why Choose Ducted Reverse Cycle Air Conditioning?
For the ultimate in whole-of-home heating and cooling for Perth conditions, ducted reverse cycle air conditioning (also known as ducted refrigerated or ducted air conditioning) is a popular choice because it:
- is reliable, long-lasting and unobtrusive
- copes well with humidity and Perth’s extreme heat
Ducted refrigerated air conditioners need to be installed by specialist dealers, because the design and components used are as important as the brand of air conditioner. It doesn’t matter if you buy the top of the range aircon if your zones and outlets (ceiling grilles) are in the wrong place, or the components leak cooled air into your roof.
