Ducted Home Air Conditioning Systems in Bristol & the South West
Ducted air conditioning offers discreet, whole-home climate control with minimal visual impact. The main unit is concealed in a loft space, ceiling void or cupboard, supplying conditioned air through subtle ceiling vents. This makes ducted systems ideal for homeowners wanting quiet, efficient and unobtrusive heating and cooling across multiple rooms.

Our installation process
1. Home survey
We assess loft or ceiling void space, room layout, ventilation paths, heat loads and suitable outdoor unit locations. Electrical and structural considerations are reviewed as part of the survey.
2. System design
A tailored design outlines duct routes, vent positions, equipment location and zone configuration. We ensure the system meets both performance requirements and your preferred interior style.
3. Professional installation
Installation is completed with care to protect flooring, décor and existing finishes. All work is carried out in line with manufacturer guidelines and current UK regulations.
4. Testing and commissioning
We confirm airflow levels, temperature performance, refrigerant pressures and control functions. Your installer explains zoning, scheduling and recommended usage for year-round efficiency.
Maintenance and aftercare
Regular servicing helps maintain airflow, efficiency and air quality. Our service team provides planned maintenance and one-off visits, including duct inspections, filter checks, coil cleaning and performance testing.
