Ducted vs split system: Which suits your home?

Summer or winter, how many rooms in your house do you actually use?

It’s a simple question, but it’s one of the biggest things to think about when you’re choosing between a ducted vs split system. The right answer isn’t the same for every home. It comes down to how you live.

Ducted or split: the quick version

In one of our recent real jobs, a local home swapped ducted gas heating for two split systems. For that home, it made sense. For yours, it might not.

Three questions to ask yourself

1. Which rooms do you spend the most time in, summer and winter?
2. Are you heating or cooling rooms you barely use?
3. Is there a room that’s always too hot or too cold?

Your answers help shape what suits your home, and they’re a great starting point when you talk to us.
