Ducted Air |

|
Care & attention to detail on every Church system to ensure each component is sized & located for your needs & best performance. |
|
The outdoor unit is positioned by an outside wall with adequate ventilation. The indoor unit and ductwork is placed either in the roof cavity or under the floor cavity.
Ducted Systems are suitable for several rooms ie. whole homes (& larger rooms that would need 2 or 3 "splits") and can be zoned to switch areas on/off or fully automatic with desired comfort levels in each zone. (Genie)

Installation
The indoor unit and ductwork (in ceiling) connects to the various grilles throughout the home. If needed, some ducts can be installed in floor joists, cupboards or bulkhead, which can then be gyprocked and painted.
Control thermostats and switches are mounted in various positions in the house depending upon personal usage and sun loads. This is very, very important. You might have picked this up by now! |
|
Which Brand Is The Best?
The better quality systems obviously last longer and continue to perform as the years go by. Church Air Conditioning provides free extended warranties with upgrades of duct, dampers & filters. |
|
There are many cheaper brands available. The main known names offer good quiet performance, added features & affordable backup spares.
Fujitsu, Actron and Temperzone are our favorites. |

Quietness
Can be the quietest form of air conditioning available, depending upon the quality and sizes of materials and installation.
The old saying applies here ... You only get what you pay for! Beware there are many poor performing installations of ducted systems on the market that leave customers very disappointed every hot day for a lot of years.
The team at Church Air can show you how to get the maximum benefit from your system when working on a budget. |
|
The Performance Level
Absolutely the highest level of comfort available. To maximize performance from your ducted system we recommend upgrading ductwork, insulation etc. Also warranties go up to 10 & 25 years with better upgraded components.
A big variable is the thermostat type and location as it is the controlling brain of the system. In some cases the Genie Smart Multizone control is a solution to zone problems. |
|
Electrical Requirements
Single phase units are available up to 5 HP (15kw). Three phase is always the best option if available. |
