Reverse-Cycle Ducted
Reverse-cycle ducted systems deliver both cooling in summer and heating in winter through a single discreet unit.
They operate as heat pumps: in cooling mode they remove heat from indoors and expel it outside; in heating mode they draw latent heat from the outdoor air—even on chilly days—and transfer it indoors.
This two-in-one functionality eliminates the need for separate appliances and provides efficient climate control year-round.
We design and install reverse-cycle ducted systems specific to Adelaide homes, analysing insulation, ceiling height, and room usage to determine the right capacity and duct configuration.
We can also include zoning, allowing you to set different temperatures in various zones and minimise energy use.
Our qualified team manages the entire installation process. We perform heat-load calculations, design ductwork for balanced airflow, mount indoor and outdoor units securely, and integrate smart controllers.
After commissioning, we teach you how to operate timers, modes, and zone controls.
Routine servicing is essential to maintain efficiency and prolong your system’s life.
We clean filters, inspect coils, verify refrigerant pressures, test reversing valves, and flush condensate drains.
Should your reverse-cycle system struggle to switch between heating and cooling, short-cycle, or emit unusual noises, our emergency service can diagnose and explain the issue, organise any necessary parts, and schedule repairs promptly.
At Paterson Air Conditioning, we offer transparent quotations, flexible finance options, and a lifetime labour guarantee.
