Ducted Systems

Ducted heating and cooling systems are one of the cleanest and most energy efficient ways to control the temperature of your home in Melbourne’s Eastern Suburbs.

A ducted system comprises of a central unit, connected to a series of outlets. The unit can be installed on the outside of the home, in the roof or under the floor if your home has space.

Alpine Heating and Cooling offer an extensive range of ducted heating and cooling solutions:

• Gas Ducted Heating
• Gas Ducted Heating with add on cooling
• Ducted Reverse cycle heating and cooling
• Ducted Refrigerated Cooling
• Evaporative Cooling

Gas Ducted Heating

With gas ducted heating you’ll never have to walk from a warm room to a cold room again. Gas ducted heating is the most efficient way of heating your entire home.

Gas Ducted heating works by passing air over a heat exchanger. The air is then warmed by gas combustion. Then the air is pushed through a series of ducts and into the home through outlets installed in the ceiling or floor. A thermostat installed in the living area controls the temperature of the household by sending messages to the heater to cycle on or off.

Alpine Heating and Cooling can also design your system with different zones, allowing you to control which sections of your home will be heated. This allows you the flexibility to turn off sections that are not being used. Zoning is a very practical and economical way of controlling your gas ducted heating.

Gas Ducted Heating with add on Refrigerated Cooling

Add on refrigerated cooling is a great way to utilise your heating ducts to also cool your home. For an efficient way to heat and cool your home throughout the year this is the choice for you!

Ducted Reverse Cycle Heating and Cooling

No matter what temperature it is outside you can enjoy year round comfort inside with a ducted reverse cycle system. Consisting of an indoor and an outdoor unit, a ducted reverse cycle system distributes the conditioned air throughout your home via a series of ducts to keep your home temperature controlled year round.

Reverse cycle systems work by extracting air from outside and transferring it inside. A refrigerant passes through an external coil and pumped into a fan coil unit into the home via a duct system. It is a very economical form of heating and cooling while being very healthy as the air passes through a filter, dehumidifying the air.

Ducted Refrigerated Cooling

For the ultimate in cooling systems you can’t go past ducted refrigerated cooling. Keep your entire home cool throughout summer with a refrigerated cooling system from Alpine Heating and Cooling.

A ducted refrigerated cooling system removes warm air from the home and replaces it with cool air. Refrigerant cooling is highly efficient at cooling a household but because it uses refrigerants that produce emissions it is less eco-friendly then evaporative cooling and more costly to run. A big benefit is that it doesn’t rely on dry weather where an evaporative cooling system will struggle when the weather becomes humid.

Evaporative Cooling

For an effective and efficient cooling solution, choose Evaporative Cooling. Unlike traditional refrigerated cooling that uses combustion to cool the air, Evaporative cooling draws hot air from outdoors through wet pads, removing heat from the air as it passes through. Cool fresh air is then blown inside via a series of ducts, exiting through vents installed in the roof or floor.

Evaporative Cooling systems use less energy then refrigerant cooling, saving money on your expensive electricity bill and saves the environment.
