Ducted Air Conditioners: Complete Home Comfort for Melbourne

When you want total climate control for your entire property, nothing beats a ducted air conditioning system. At Currentforce, we have made it easier than ever to buy premium units online at competitive prices. We carry the big-name brands that people trust, the ones built to last and designed to keep your power bills in check. It gives you plenty of solid options whether you are outfitting a home or a workspace. If you just need the unit itself for a supply-only deal, we can sort that out. Or, if you want the whole package with installation included, we are here to make it happen.

Why Go Ducted?

Real Comfort in Every Room The best thing about a ducted setup is that it covers the whole house. You can say goodbye to that shock of walking from a cool lounge room into a sweltering hallway. These systems even out the temperature everywhere, getting rid of those annoying hot pockets or cold drafts so the whole house feels right.

You Are in Charge Newer models are surprisingly clever. With zoning features, you have total say over where the air goes. You might keep the main living areas breezy during the day and then switch the focus to the bedrooms at night. It puts the control right in your hands and stops you from wasting air on empty rooms.

Efficiency That Surprises You It is easy to assume a big system costs a fortune to run, but modern inverter technology has changed the game. Instead of running at full pelt constantly, the unit ramps up or down to match what is actually needed. Combine that with zoning, and you will likely find your energy use is much lower than you expected.

It Disappears If you care about how your rooms look, this is the way to go. The heavy equipment sits out of sight on the roof or under the floor, so your walls stay clear. Apart from the controller and some discreet vents, you barely know it is there, keeping your interior clean and stylish.

Ducted

How It Actually Works

Think of a ducted reverse cycle system as the central heart of your home’s heating and cooling. A large compressor unit does the heavy lifting outside, while an indoor unit distributes conditioned air through flexible tubes hidden in your roof or floor space. It quietly pushes this air through vents into your rooms. Unlike wall-mounted split systems that sit visibly in the room and only treat that specific area, a ducted system circulates air through the whole building, keeping the environment pleasant no matter what the Melbourne weather is doing outside.

  • My experience with Current Force was definitely 5 star. Jason was very informative and was particularly good at solving a rather difficult set of circumstances to do with installing a AC. Most companies that I called wouldn't even come out to have a look .... and another company came up with a very expensive alternative that was also unsightly to the building. Jason was extremely pleasant to deal with and was on time and left my place really clean. I highly recommend him ... in fact I've passed his number to several friends of mine! Thanks Jason for your work. Lucy

    A great experience - I sent out a few quote requests with photos of the site via email. Jason from Current Force politely followed up with a call to clarify some details to ensure he could quote correctly. The quote came back very competitive for both the unit and the installation - Jason also mentioned there was a limited cash rebate period still going with this particular brand. He made every effort to schedule the job in at a very acceptable timeframe. Jason was professional and very courteous, he explained all the functions of the remote control, everything was left clean and the boxes were taken away. On time and on budget, no surprises. Judging by this installation I would not hesitate in recommending this company.

  • Highly recommend Current Force. The split system they installed is really quiet and energy efficient. Our energy bills have more than halved! Excellent customer service throughout the process. Jason was happy to explain everything in detail from start to finish, giving us realistic options to meet our needs, and gave us detailed instructions on how to use the unit once installed. We live in a block of flats, and Current Force were great with meeting the body corporate policy requirements, ensuring the process went smoothly with all parties involved.

  • From the moment I contacted Current Force I couldn't be more pleased. Jason contacted me soon after and although not being very technically minded I uploaded photos (quite simple) of where the unit was to go and received the quote and good advice soon after. They were punctual, very friendly and professional and did the job in a timely manner. I would certainly recommend them without any hesitation whatsoever. Thanks for a great job!

    Jason offered a great service. Very punctual, timely install of our split system. Our building was level 3 and double brick- other companies were hesitant as they didn't have much experience with these types of builds. Jason did the quote online/over the phone with nil issues. Would definitely recommend/use again

  • Jason and the team did a fantastic job with the installation of my air conditioner late last year. Jason is great to work with if you need to get approval from body corporate or an owners committee.

    Had a great experience with Current Force. Had almost given up on getting AC as we had been given huge quotes and told that because we live in an apartment, the wiring would have to be encased in conduit which would run along the wall. I am so glad I found Current Force. Jason followed up very soon after I had sent the photos through for the quote, and after a quick chat he sent through a quote which was less than half of what the other companies had quoted me. Installation was booked not long after that. They were on time, professional and friendly, and managed to do the wiring in the ceiling so there is no conduit! Everything was done to an excellent standard - I would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone I know that is looking to get AC installed.

Common Questions

What exactly is a ducted air conditioner?

 It is a system that covers your entire house instead of just one room. The indoor unit stays hidden in the roof or floor, while the outdoor compressor does the hard work. It sends air through ducts to vents in every room, giving you that even temperature from one end of the house to the other.

How much does it cost to install in Melbourne?

It really depends on the property because no two homes are the same. Things like the size of your house, the brand you prefer, and how tricky the install is will all shift the price. A single-story apartment is obviously going to cost less than a big double-story family home. The best way to get a solid figure is to use our “Upload Your Plans” tool. That way, we can give you a quote that actually matches your layout.

How is this different from a split system?

The main difference is the coverage and the look. A split system is fantastic for a specific room or area, but you have that visible unit hanging on the wall. A ducted system handles the whole house through vents that you barely notice. It is a cleaner look, and you get that consistent temperature everywhere you walk.

Are they expensive to run?

 You might be surprised, but they are generally very efficient. Most modern setups use inverter technology, which lets the motor cruise along to maintain the temperature instead of constantly stopping and starting, which eats up power. Plus, if you use “zoning” to shut off airflow to rooms you aren’t using, the running costs stay very competitive.

Can I set different temperatures for different rooms?

Absolutely. Most of the modern systems we stock support zoning. This lets you split your home into sections, such as a “day zone” for the living areas and a “night zone” for the bedrooms. You can control them independently, so you aren’t paying to cool an empty bedroom while everyone is watching TV in the lounge.
