Year-round whole-home comfort for your entire property. Powerful, discreet ducted refrigerated systems — designed, supplied, and installed by Melbourne's trusted HVAC professionals.
Ducted Refrigerated System Air Conditioning Melbourne
A ducted refrigerated system is the ultimate whole-home heating and cooling solution. Unlike evaporative coolers, a refrigerated ducted system works effectively in all weather conditions — including hot, humid Melbourne summers — delivering consistent, comfortable temperatures throughout your entire home or business premises.
Ducted systems use a network of ceiling or floor vents connected to a central unit, allowing air to be distributed evenly across all rooms. With optional zoning, you can independently control different areas of your home, saving energy by only conditioning the spaces you use. At SunLoop Energy, we supply, install, and service ducted refrigerated systems from leading brands across Melbourne.

How Does a Ducted System Work?
A central indoor unit — typically installed in the roof cavity — connects to an outdoor compressor and distributes conditioned air through insulated ducts and ceiling vents across your home.
Indoor Unit & Ductwork
Installed in the roof cavity, this unit connects to insulated ducts that deliver conditioned air through ceiling vents into every room.
Outdoor Compressor Unit
The external compressor powers the system, managing heat exchange and ensuring efficient, quiet operation in all conditions.

What Are The Running Costs?
Ducted refrigerated systems are among the most efficient whole-home heating and cooling options available. Running costs depend on the size of your home, the number of zones, the chosen system capacity, and Melbourne's seasonal conditions.
- System Capacity (kW): Matched to your home's size — larger homes require higher-capacity systems with proportionally higher running costs.
- Inverter Technology: Modern inverter-driven compressors significantly reduce electricity usage compared to older fixed-speed models, lowering ongoing bills.
- Zone Control: Conditioning only the zones you use at any given time can reduce running costs by 20–40% compared to whole-home operation.
- Insulation & Home Envelope: Well-insulated homes retain conditioned air longer, meaning the system runs less frequently and costs less to operate.
- Energy Star Rating: Higher-rated systems cost more upfront but deliver considerable savings over the life of the system — we recommend the most efficient models for Melbourne's climate.
- VEU/ESS Rebates: Eligible homeowners can receive up to $9,000* in government rebates, dramatically reducing the upfront capital investment.
* Rebate amounts are indicative and subject to eligibility criteria. Running cost estimates vary by usage, tariff, and property type. Contact SunLoop Energy for a tailored quote.
