Ducted vs Split Heat Pumps.
What’s Best for You?
Both options work well, but ducted systems are the premium choice if you want:
-
Whole-home comfort – every room warm in winter, cool in summer.
-
Discreet design – vents in ceiling or floor, no bulky wall units.
-
Zoning control – heat/cool only the rooms you use, saving power.
High-wall systems are perfect for single rooms or smaller budgets. Ducted systems suit larger homes or anyone wanting maximum comfort and a clean, modern look.
How Do Ducted Systems Work?
A ducted heat pump works like a normal heat pump, but instead of heating or cooling just one room, it spreads the comfort through your whole home.
In summer: the system draws warm air from inside, removes the heat outside, and sends cooled, filtered air back through the ducts.
In winter: it reverses the process, capturing warmth from the outdoor air and circulating it evenly to every room.
Because the air is distributed through insulated ducting, every room in your home stays at the same comfortable temperature. No more cold spots in winter or overheated bedrooms in summer.
A ducted heat pump is designed to be almost invisible in your living spaces:
-
Indoor unit: installed in your ceiling cavity or under the floor, hidden from view but powerful enough to heat or cool your whole home.
-
Outdoor unit: sits outside, quietly doing the heavy lifting of heating and cooling.
-
Ducting system: insulated ducts carry conditioned air through the ceiling or underfloor space, delivering it to discreet vents in each room.
-
The result is a system that’s:
-
Quiet: no noisy fans or bulky wall units.
-
Discreet: vents blend into ceilings or floors for a clean look.
-
Efficient: one central system manages the comfort of your entire home.
-
Flexible: zoning options let you control which rooms are conditioned, helping save on running costs.
A ducted system is ideal if you want whole-home comfort, seamless design, and long-term efficiency. It’s a premium solution that’s especially well-suited to Canterbury’s cold winter mornings and hot summer afternoons.
