Residential Installations
No two homes are the same, and neither are their air conditioning needs. Whether you’re installing a brand-new system, upgrading an old unit, or renovating your space, we’ll help you choose the system that suits your needs.
Split System
Split system air conditioners are one of the most popular choices for heating and cooling individual rooms or open living spaces. They consist of two main parts – an indoor unit that delivers the cooled or heated air, and an outdoor unit that disperses heat outside.
Quiet, efficient, and cost-effective, split systems are perfect for bedrooms, living areas, or home offices. With modern features like remote control operation, timers, and energy-saving modes, they provide year-round comfort while keeping energy use under control.
Ducted System
Ducted systems are the ultimate whole-home solution for year-round comfort. With a discreet central unit connected to ducts hidden in your ceiling or floor, they deliver heating and cooling to every room in your home.
Controlled by a single system, ducted air conditioning offers consistent comfort throughout the house, with the option to zone different areas so you only heat or cool the spaces you’re using. Quiet, efficient, and unobtrusive, ducted systems are ideal for families wanting a sleek, powerful solution that blends seamlessly into the home.
Multi-Split System
A multi-split system allows you to connect several indoor units to a single outdoor unit, giving you tailored comfort in different rooms without the need for multiple outdoor systems. Each indoor unit can be controlled individually, so everyone can enjoy their preferred temperature. Multi-splits are an excellent choice for homes or offices where space for outdoor units is limited, but flexible comfort is essential.
VRF System
Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF/VRV) systems are advanced solutions designed for larger homes, commercial buildings, or multi-storey properties. These systems use one outdoor unit to manage multiple indoor units with precision, allowing for different temperatures in different areas at the same time. Known for their energy efficiency and reliability, VRF/VRV systems are perfect for projects that demand flexible, large-scale climate control.
Cassette System
Cassette systems are installed neatly into the ceiling, making them ideal for open-plan living areas, retail spaces, or offices where floor and wall space is limited. They distribute air evenly in four directions, ensuring consistent comfort across the entire room. With their discreet design and powerful performance, cassette systems combine efficiency with style.
Evaporative Cooling
Evaporative cooling offers a natural and energy-efficient way to keep your home cool in the summer. By drawing fresh air through water-soaked cooling pads, it delivers a steady stream of cool, refreshing air throughout your home. As it relies on fresh air circulation, evaporative cooling keeps windows and doors slightly open, making it an eco-friendly option with lower running costs, especially well-suited for dry climates.
