How Much Does Ducted Air Conditioning Cost?
Ducted air conditioning is a premium, whole-home solution, and pricing varies depending on your property and system requirements.
As a general guide, ducted air conditioning installation typically ranges from $6,000 to $25,000+ installed, depending on system size, home layout, and features such as zoning and efficiency.
Smaller homes sit toward the lower end of the range, while larger or multi-storey properties require higher-capacity systems and more complex installation.
Estimated Ducted Air Conditioning Costs by Home Size
Small Home or Apartment (2–3 bedrooms)
$6,000 – $12,000
Medium Home (3–4 bedrooms)
$8,900 – $15,000
Large or Multi-Storey Home (4+ bedrooms)
$12,000 – $25,000+
These figures are indicative only. A detailed in-home assessment is required for an accurate quote.
Key Factors That Influence Ducted Air Conditioning Pricing
- Home size and layout – more rooms, floors, and duct runs increase cost
- System type – reverse-cycle systems cost more upfront than cooling-only
- Brand and energy efficiency – premium inverter systems offer lower running costs
- Zoning and controls – smart zoning improves efficiency but adds to initial cost
- Installation complexity – new builds are often more cost-effective than retrofits
What to Look for in a Ducted Air Conditioning Quote
When comparing quotes, price alone should not be the deciding factor.
A quality quote should clearly outline:
- System capacity (kW) matched to your home
- Brand and model
- Zoning configuration
- Energy efficiency rating
- Installation inclusions
- Manufacturer and workmanship warranties
We recommend obtaining quotes only after a full property inspection to ensure correct system design.
