Ducted Air Conditioner Replacement

If you have an existing reverse cycle ducted system, in most cases you can add another outlet. This new outlet will need to be connected to an existing zone (if a zoned ducted system is installed). Alternatively, you can add a new additional zone to the system if your current air conditioner and controller allow it. Each sized air conditioner has different capacity, meaning adding an additional outlet could impact upon the existing performance of the system.

If you have a large ducted air conditioner with a zoning system, and you’re looking to add an outlet, there is a very good chance this would be possible. This can be completed in 1 day by Ford & Doonan. However, it will require a site inspection to ensure compatibility.

It most definitely is! Upgrading an existing air conditioner to a larger system is often a simple task that can be performed in 1 or 2 days. Depending on the size of the air conditioner, the ducting and outlets may have to be replaced too. Removing the existing air conditioner may cause damage to the ducting in your ceiling. If you’re interested in a unit upgrade for an existing reverse cycle ducted air conditioner, simply contact Ford & Doonan for a site inspection and quotation.

If you’re looking to install a larger split system, or upgrade from a single to a multi split system, this is also possible and can be completed in 1 or 2 days. When the old split system is removed, Ford & Doonan will also remove a lot of existing piping and replace with brand new equipment.

If you’re having an air conditioner installed as part of a new home build, then you’re already ahead of the rest! This is the perfect time to upgrade your air conditioner as it will mean both the builder and the air conditioning company can work together to ensure the best performance possible. During a new home build where Ford & Doonan supply the air conditioning, our Builders Direct department liaise directly with you, the client, throughout the entire air conditioning stage. Beginning with a face-to-face pre start consultation, through the installation process, Ford & Doonan are able to answer any questions you may have.

Upgrading the controller on an existing reverse cycle ducted system is possible in most cases. However, it depends on the current controller and the voltage of your zone motors/dampers. Simply contact the Ford & Doonan Service Department on 9331 8800 or email us at service@fdair.com.au and included a photo of your current wall controller.

It is often a straightforward process. Removal of the old air conditioner and the installation of your new air conditioner can normally be done on the same day. For double storey homes, or more complex systems, this may take up to 3 business days.

If we install new ceiling outlets in the same locations as your existing system, there should not be any holes left behind. If we’re re-locating any outlets or the return air grille, then patching and painting of these holes needs to be discussed with your sales consultants at the time of purchase.
