A lot more goes into a quality ducted air conditioning installation than just the indoor unit (fan coil) and outdoor unit (compressor). While these are important, there are other critical elements that play a huge role in the performance, efficiency, and longevity of your system — and many of them are often overlooked.
1. The Ducting
The quality of the ducting is crucial to keeping your air cool as it travels through your roof space. A cheap, poorly insulated ducting system won’t be able to keep the refrigerated air as cool, leading to a system that works harder, consumes more energy, and takes longer to cool your home. Thick, well-insulated ducting is essential, especially in Perth’s hot climate, to ensure your air stays at the right temperature.
2. How the Ducting is Installed
It’s not just about the material — it’s also about how the ducting is installed. Many cheaper installations simply lay the ducting flat at the bottom of the roof space, which increases the chance of heat build-up. The air traveling through the ducts then has to work against this extra heat, making your system less efficient. At Quality Air Solutions, we go the extra mile by suspending the ducting across your roof space. This allows for optimal airflow and reduces the amount of heat the refrigerated air has to fight against, making the system work more efficiently.
3. The Details That Matter
These extra little details, which you often can’t see, are what make the difference between a cheap installation and a quality one. Properly installed ducting, the right insulation, and correct airflow all contribute to faster cooling, lower electricity bills, and a longer-lasting air conditioning system. With Quality Air Solutions, you can trust that every step of the installation is done with precision and care, so your system performs at its best.
