Ducted Air Conditioning

We treat ducted air conditioning as an engineering job rather than a quick fix. Our technicians assess the whole system before recommending anything, because the fault you can see is very often a symptom of something upstream that will simply come back if it is not addressed properly the first time.

Ducted air conditioning hides the entire system in the roof void, leaving only slim linear grilles visible in the ceiling. It is the premium option for homes and offices where appearance matters and where several rooms need independent temperature control.

We design duct layouts for balanced airflow, size the plant to the total and diversified load, install insulated flexible or rigid ducting, fit zone dampers and controllers, and commission each outlet by measuring airflow. The result is quiet, invisible and evenly distributed cooling.

Why ducted air conditioning matters

Load shedding, surges and Gauteng’s summer storm season are hard on both air conditioning and electrical infrastructure. Correct ducted air conditioning builds in the protection and headroom needed to survive that environment instead of failing on the first hot Saturday of the season.

What’s included

Whole-home and whole-floor duct design

Signs you need ducted air conditioning

Musty or burnt smells when the system starts up
Ice forming on the pipework or indoor coil
Unusual noise — rattling, grinding or a high-pitched whine
The unit trips the breaker or shuts down after a few minutes
Remote settings no longer match what the unit actually does
Water dripping inside, or damp marks on the wall below the unit

How we handle ducted air conditioning

1. Free assessment and written quote

We attend site, inspect what is actually there, and quote ducted air conditioning in writing with the parts, labour and any compliance work itemised. No deposit is required to get a price.

2. Scheduling that suits you

Once you approve the quote we book a slot — including after-hours and weekend work where a business cannot afford downtime — and confirm the arrival window by phone or WhatsApp the day before.

3. The work itself

A qualified technician carries out the ducted air conditioning to SANS standards using correctly rated materials. Drop sheets go down, the area is protected, and anything unexpected is raised with you before extra cost is incurred.

4. Testing, handover and paperwork

We test the completed work under load, walk you through what was done, and issue your invoice, warranty details and — where the job requires it — a Certificate of Compliance.

What affects the price of ducted air conditioning

Anyone quoting ducted air conditioning sight-unseen is guessing. These are the factors that genuinely move the number on our quotations:

Capacity of the unit and the heat load of the space
Distance between the indoor and outdoor unit (pipe and cable runs)
Wall type, height and whether scaffolding or a ladder platform is needed
Brackets, trunking, drainage and whether a condensate pump is required
Whether an existing circuit and isolator can be reused or a new one is needed
Brand, inverter type and the warranty you want behind the equipment

Brands we work with

Mitsubishi Electric · Daikin · Hisense · Carrier

Our guarantee

Every job carries a written workmanship guarantee on top of the manufacturer’s warranty on parts and equipment.

Recent project

A body corporate in Doringkloof needed ducted air conditioning handled properly after a poor previous experience. We assessed the site, quoted in writing, completed the work to SANS standards and handed over full documentation.

Ducted Air Conditioning FAQs

Can ducted aircon be added to an existing house?

Yes, wherever there is sufficient roof space and a route for supply and return air. We survey the roof void before quoting.

How much does ducted air conditioning cost in Gauteng?

There is no single price — ducted air conditioning is quoted on scope. The assessment is free and the quotation is itemised, so you see the parts, the labour and any compliance work separately before you commit. Call 060 959 2231 and we will give you a realistic range over the phone, then confirm it on site.

How quickly can you attend?

We aim for same-day or next-day attendance across Gauteng for ducted air conditioning, and we run emergency call-outs after hours, over weekends and on public holidays. Booked installations are usually scheduled within a few working days.

Are your technicians qualified and insured?

Yes. Our teams are qualified, insured and, on the electrical side, registered to issue Certificates of Compliance. If something we installed fails within the guarantee period we come back and make it right — no argument, no callout fee.

Do you cover my area?

We cover the whole of Gauteng — Johannesburg, Pretoria, Centurion, Midrand, the East Rand, the West Rand and the Vaal — including estates and complexes where access has to be arranged with the HOA in advance.
