Ducted air conditioning Brisbane
As true specialists in ducted heating and cooling systems in the Brisbane area, Quality Air is able to provide you with an unbiased opinion on the best cooling and heating solution for your home or office.
What is ducted air conditioning?
Ducted air conditioning lets you cool or heat your entire home from one central system or just the rooms you’re using. It’s quiet, energy-efficient, and easy to control, with up to 10 separate zones you can switch on or off as needed.
The system works using two main units:
- An outdoor condenser that handles the heavy lifting, and
- An indoor fan coil that pushes air through hidden ducts and out discreet vents in each room.
It’s a neat, no-clutter solution that suits medium to large homes, especially if you're after consistent temperature throughout the house.

Why ducted air conditioning works so well
Ducted systems are ideal for larger homes and families who want reliable comfort in every room. You get one central system, discreet ceiling vents, and the option to control temperatures by zone, so no energy gets wasted cooling the whole house when you're just using a few rooms.
It’s quiet, tidy, and designed to blend in. With the right setup, you’ll barely notice it running, just the difference in how the house feels.

Frequently asked questions
Not sure what to expect? These common questions might help.
Yes. We’ll give you options and explain which ones suit the room size, ceiling type and how the space is used.
They do. The wrong size or placement can restrict airflow, make the system louder, or leave rooms unevenly cooled. We design vent layouts carefully to avoid those issues.
In most cases, yes. If your system is still in good condition but the vents are damaged or not performing well, we can usually swap them out without major disruption.
No — vents come in a range of sizes and shapes. The right size depends on the airflow needed for each room and the type of vent being used.
That depends on the type you choose. Standard ceiling diffusers are discreet and sit flush, while linear bar grills are designed to be a feature. Either way, we’ll make sure they suit the space.
