Ducted Air Conditioning, Designed for Comfort
Smart, efficient cooling tailored to your home or business.
Whole-Home Comfort with Ducted Air Conditioning
Ducted air conditioning brings comfort to every corner of your Canberra home. Unlike a single split system that cools or heats just one room, ducted systems use discreet vents to deliver consistent climate control across your entire house. For families living in Canberra’s chilly winters and hot summers, this means one reliable solution that works year-round.
With a central unit hidden in the roof space, ducted systems are quiet, efficient, and tailored to your lifestyle. Whether you live in a modern townhouse or a larger family home, SolarHub designs solutions that fit the layout and size of your property.
Key benefits of ducted air conditioning in Canberra:
- Whole-home comfort: Control the temperature in every room, not just one.
- Energy savings with zoning: Cool or heat only the rooms you use.
- Discreet design: No bulky wall units, just sleek ceiling vents.
- Quiet performance: Enjoy comfort without the noise.
Choosing ducted air conditioning is about more than convenience – it’s about creating a comfortable, efficient home that’s ready for Canberra’s changing seasons. With SolarHub, you’ll get expert advice, quality installation, and ongoing support to keep your system running at its best.
Your Ducted Air Conditioning Journey with SolarHub
1. Pre-Consultation
Before we start, we’ll look at the size and layout of your home to recommend the right system. We use trusted tools like Onthehouse.com and Pylon to check home size and ensure accuracy.
- We calculate the correct system size based on your home’s needs.
- This makes sure you get a solution that’s efficient, not oversized or undersized.
2. System Design
Our team then works with you to plan the design of your ducted system:
- Switchboard check: We confirm if your home runs on single phase or three phase power.
- Outlet planning: We map out where vents will go, avoiding unusual placements like bathrooms or clustered outlets.
- Outdoor unit location: We discuss the best place for the outdoor unit, considering noise and water drainage.
- Air return & controller: We confirm the most practical wall controller position and air return location.
4. Product Selection
At SolarHub, we recommend ActronAir – Australia’s leading ducted air conditioning brand, designed specifically for local conditions. Actron systems deliver reliable performance, smart zoning, and long-term comfort for Canberra homes.
Our Actron range includes:
- Actron Advance: 100% Australian-made, with vertical discharge design, precise zoning, and excellent performance in both hot and cold conditions.
- Actron Aires: A cost-effective option that still offers smart controls, flexible zoning, and strong reliability, with many components locally made.
Whether you’re after premium individual room control or a more budget-friendly whole-home solution, Actron systems give you the confidence of Australian innovation and quality.
3. Zoning Options
Next, we’ll talk zoning – the ability to heat or cool different areas of your home separately.
- No zoning: whole-home control only.
- Simple zoning: separate day/night areas.
- Premium zoning: individual room control for maximum flexibility.
5. Rebates, Pricing & Finance
We’ll check if your home and system are eligible for local rebates:
- EEIS: Rebates available for ActewAGL customers, with extra benefits for concession card holders.
- HESP: Rebates for eligible homeowners with concession cards.
Then we provide a clear pricing discussion:
- You’ll get a ballpark figure upfront.
- If adjustments are needed, we’ll redesign the system or explore alternatives.
- We’ll also cover finance options (APP, SHS) and explain any upfront terms.
6. Installation
Once everything is approved, our qualified team completes the installation with care and precision. We’ll walk you through the system, show you how it works, and ensure everything runs smoothly.
