How does ducted work?

Ducted heating systems are controlled by a sophisticated set of controllers that automate operations to make the system more efficient. Overall, ducted heating systems are a great option for those looking for an efficient and cost-effective way to provide heat as they work by circulating warm air through a network of ducts and vents located throughout areas of your home. A ducted heating system is controlled by a thermostat, which turns the system on and off as needed to maintain a comfortable temperature. Ducted heating systems are an efficient way to heat a home evenly, and they are also cost-effective when compared to other forms of heating such as baseboard heaters or space heaters.

Although the upfront cost is more expensive, it is ideal for heating or cooling a number of rooms.

“Wow this company is awesome, I’d highly recommend them. We live in Auckland and have a holiday home in Turangi. James was so helpful and organised and installed a heat pump for us in under a week. I asked if it could be done (feeling very cheeky) prior to family going down at the weekend and he did it. So amazing to find people like this. He even went down to our house from Taupo on the Sunday to have a look at what was needed. We recently renovated our home in Auckland which has been nothing short of an absolute nightmare with trades people. James is an absolute gentleman. Thank you so much, we really appreciate how quickly you did this for us and how easy its been to communicate with you.”

“Element Air is a great company to deal with, excellent communication from the quote through to job end. James is very knowledgeable and provided the right ducted system for us that has surpassed our expectations. Highly recommend them!”


Dave Jones

“I recently had James install a heat pump in my small rental property. He has a wealth of knowledge about heat pumps, giving me a range of options and prices to choose from and also giving a recommendation as to what would work best in my property. James completed the job to a high standard and followed up the job with photos which I think is great, especially if you own a property and live out of town so can’t see the job in its completion straight away. I would highly recommend his work. Thanks again James!”

Which Type and Size Heat Pump is Right for Me?
Choosing the right sized heat pump is important to ensure optimum comfort levels; particularly when outdoor temperatures drop. Location, room size, and insulation levels in a room are all factors that determine which heat pump size should be installed.Insulation and building orientation are key factors which can influence the degree of heat loss in a home. An older style home with poor insulation will lose indoor heat at a faster rate than a modern well-insulated home that faces north. The quicker a home loses heat, the bigger the heat pump system will need to be to overcome this heat loss.

Element Air

Outdoor ambient conditions in winter also play a big role in unit size selection. When temperatures drop, the output capacity of the heat pump also drops. Areas of New Zealand that experience sub-zero temperatures in winter will require either a larger capacity heat pump or an upgrade to a Mitsubishi Electric HyperCore® Heat Pump, in comparison to a same sized room in a warmer region. It is therefore very important that units are not undersized in low ambient conditions.

Take the guess work out – use our sizing tool to select the best heat pump for you, based on your region’s average lowest winter temperature. From here, you can book your free in-home consultation using our simple online form.

Frequently asked questions

Do ducted heat pumps remove humidity?

Ducted Heat pumps can dehumidify too, but only when they’re in “dry” mode and not in heating mode.

My ducted heat pump is slow to heat the house in the mornings, is there anything I can do?

If your heat pump spends twenty minutes defrosting on cold winter mornings, use the timer to turn it on half an hour before you get up, or leave it on overnight at a very low level if your home is both well insulated and draft free.

Can Element Air Supply and install my heat pump ducted system?

Yes absolutely, we can order your unit and system from Mitsubishi Electric and install it for you in one complete service.

What is ducted heating?

Ducted heating systems are a type of central heating that circulates air through a network of ducts and vents. The advantage of ducted heating is that it evenly heats the entire home, unlike other forms of heating which can create hot and cold spots. ducted heating is also cost-effective when doing multiple rooms at once, and it is easy to introduce fresh air replacement into the system.

Does ducted heating have indoor units?

A ducted heating system still requires indoor units all connected through ducts in your ceiling.
