Ducted Air Conditioning Installation Costs

Installing ducted air conditioning systems can vary significantly from property to property. From the tradesmen and labour involved to the type of air conditioner, these will all influence the final installation price. Here at Logicool Air, we offer affordable and professional Air Conditioning Installation services related to ducted systems. Our team is here to work all over Sydney and correctly install any ducted air conditioner. 

The installation price of ducted air conditioning is often 15-20% of the actual system. If the system is for heating and cooling, factors like roof space and the building’s size, will impact prices. A trusted and licensed air conditioning technician should install the system to ensure it works perfectly.

What is the Cost of Installing Ducted Air Conditioners?

The building’s size will influence how much it will cost to install the ducted air conditioning. This is because more work is involved due to potential stories and the number of rooms needing air conditioning. For most ducted aircon installations it is expected that the labour is around 15-20% of the ducted unit’s price. Below is a rough guide on how much ducted aircon installation may cost.

These are all approximate figures. Factors such as air conditioner brand, air con type, location, property size etc will all influence the final cost. For a more accurate an in-depth ducted air con quote, please contact our friendly technicians*

What Factors Influence Ducted AC Installation Costs?

The main and common factors which influence the pricing on ducted installations are:

Type of Ducted Unit

The type of ducted unit will alter the labour costs as it may be more difficult to install. From an average ducted system to a reverse cycle system or a premium inverter, the unit will change final prices. 

Reverse cycle systems are usually more expensive than regular ducted units to install. This is because they both cool and heat the home where regular ducting only provides cooling. This climate control means that more parts and systems are needed which leads to more labour being needed as well. 

Number of Ducts and Grilles

The more rooms which will have the ducted system will mean that more ducts and grills are required. The size of the building will also alter the installation costs with the number of gills and ducts needing increasing. Installing it will mean that the technician will need to handle more parts and connect more of these systems together.

Location of Place

If the home or building is closer to the beach then there will be additional steps during the installation process. As the salt water from the ocean can corrode the air conditioner certain tasks are needed to help prevent that.

Roof and Ceiling Spaces

The ducted aircon installation’s price will be influenced by the layout and size of the roof and ceiling. How accessible the ceiling and roof is while the amount of space there is will make the installation easier. If the ceiling is hard to reach or difficult to work in then this will make the installation more challenging. 

Also, if there is limited space in the roof then alterations will need to be made to fit the system properly. Added steps mean that the installation process will rise in price. This is due to there being more work to correctly fit the system in the roof. 

Indoor and Outdoor Unit Locations

Where the indoor unit is and the outdoor unit is will alter how difficult the installation process is. The closer they are will mean the more energy efficient the ducted air conditioning system will be when functioning. When the distance between the two increases this will cause more materials to be added. This increase in the number of materials and tools will further increase the ducted air conditioning installation price. 

What is Involved in a General Ducted Aircon Installation?

The general tasks which are within a ducted air conditioning installation are:

• Installing the indoor unit within the roof space and lifting it into there
• Mounting the indoor unit on roos supports using a threaded rod and angle to ensure to added weight is on the ceiling
• Refrigerant lines are run from the indoor unit to the outdoor unit
• Mounting and connecting the outdoor unit, including the refrigerant lines and electrical components
• Installing all the vents, gills, diverters and ducting systems
• Connecting and installing the mains power supply from the main switchboard
• Installing and configuring the zone controller, thermoset and ac controller

How Much Does Reverse Cycle Cooling Cost?

When installing a ducted air conditioning system which provides heating and cooling the pricing will be different. Ducted heating systems, which are called central systems, have more components than regular cooling ducted aircons. There will be more ducts, vents and grilles while a gas heater is included. 

With installation and the actual unit included, heating ducted systems approx cost from $5,500 to $12000*. This cost will be influenced by the location, the size of the building and how difficult access is.
