Should you get ducted aircon?

The comfort factor

There’s nothing like stepping inside to escape the extremes—whether that’s a hot summer afternoon or chilly winter morning. And it’s not just about physical relief: research¹ shows our focus improves and we enjoy ourselves more in comfortable indoor climates and we tend to sleep better. With a ducted system you can enjoy whole-home comfort and control it from anywhere with smartphone connectivity, year-round, no matter the season.

Smarter energy use

Today’s ducted aircon isn’t just about comfort—it’s about being clever with energy. A new Daikin ducted system can be zoned so you only heat or cool the rooms you need. Add in smartphone controls and you can adjust the temperature before you even get home. It’s smarter living, with lower running costs so you can spend time enjoying your space, not worrying about bills.

Peace of mind (and value)

When you’re making a big home investment, you want reliability—and a return. Daikin’s ducted systems tick all boxes: whisper-quiet operation and locally made options designed for Australian conditions, from a company that has been named Reader’s Digest Most Trusted Brand three years in a row. Ducted systems can be an attractive feature for future buyers², adding long-term value as well as everyday comfort.
