Ducted Air Conditioning Installation Costs (Gold Coast & Brisbane)

At Thompson Cooling, we make it easy to choose the right system — without overcomplicating things.

What Is Ducted Heating?

Ducted heating is a whole-home solution that distributes warm air through vents in your ceiling or floor.

It’s designed to:

• Heat your entire home evenly
• Keep temperatures consistent
• Eliminate the need for multiple heaters

How Much Does Ducted Heating Cost?

In Brisbane and the Gold Coast, typical pricing is:

• Gas ducted heating: $3,000 – $10,000 (installed)
• Reverse cycle ducted (heating + cooling): $8,000 – $18,000+

Most homeowners choose reverse cycle systems for year-round comfort.

Typical Pricing by Home Size

• Small homes (2–3 bed): $5,000 – $8,000
• Medium homes (3–4 bed): $8,000 – $12,000
• Large homes (5+ bed): $12,000+

Final pricing depends on layout, roof space, and system design.

Gas vs Reverse Cycle — What’s Better?

Gas Ducted Heating

• Lower upfront cost
• Heating only
• Less common in QLD homes

Reverse Cycle Ducted

• Heating + cooling in one system
• More energy efficient long-term
• Ideal for Brisbane & Gold Coast climate

Most homes we install now go reverse cycle.

What Affects the Price?

A few key factors will impact your quote:

• Home size & layout
• Roof access & installation difficulty
• Zoning (controlling rooms separately)
• System brand & quality

We’ll walk you through all of this during your quote.
