Ducted Heat Pumps & Air Conditioning

Ducted heat pumps are the gold standard for whole-home comfort, offering:

• All-in-One Heating & Cooling: Perfect for Wellington’s variable weather.
• Discreet Design: Hidden in ceilings for seamless integration.
• Energy Efficiency: Save on power bills while staying comfortable all year.
• Customizable Comfort: Control temperatures room by room for tailored climate control with an optional Zone or climate-control system.
• Ventilation: While ducted systems arn’t well known for ventilation, they can introduce fresh-air if designed or you can add a Ventilation system onto your ducted system to get the best of both worlds.

At Lite Energy, we craft ducted systems to fit your home or business perfectly. Whether you’re building new or upgrading, we ensure every detail is handled. Our services include:

• Custom System Design: Tailored to meet your specific requirements.
• Heat Pump Installation: Professional, efficient setup.
• Maintenance & Repairs: Ensuring your system runs smoothly for years.

Estimating the cost of running a ducted heat pump and air conditioning system depends on factors like your home’s size, insulation quality, system model, and energy usage habits.

For example, running a 12kW ducted central heating system for 6 hours a day at 20 cents per kWh would cost around $198 per month to heat a standard 4-bedroom home. By comparison, similar electric heating could cost about $432 per month.

Keep in mind, you likely won’t run the system continuously, so your actual costs may be lower.

Installation Costs
Installing a ducted system typically starts at $10,000–$12,000 + GST for a 150m² home. Costs can vary depending on specific property requirements.

Why Proper Design Matters
A poorly designed or undersized system will work harder to maintain temperature, driving up your energy bills. Equally important is a well-designed duct system to ensure even airflow and efficient performance.

Trust Lite Energy’s accredited installers to deliver a system that’s perfectly suited to your home, keeping you comfortable year-round without unexpected costs.

The best time to get whole home heating installed is during new builds or major renovations, as it can take significant work to place the system into the ceiling space or under the floors.

When it comes to retrofitting an existing property with whole home heating, it is possible to install a ducted heat pump system.

However as each home is unique, you will need to get a quote from a professional installer. At Lite Energy, we offer free quotes where we can estimate just how a retrofit would work and talk you through the process for your property.
