Ducted Air Conditioning in Carina, Brisbane

Carina grew rapidly in the 1950s and 1960s, when around a thousand Housing Commission homes went up from 1950, including imported Italian kit houses, followed by private estates through the 1960s. Today many of those modest brick, weatherboard and fibro houses have been extended or rebuilt. Cockatoo Plumbing Electrical is based in Toowong, Brisbane, and installs ducted air conditioning in Carina homes. Phone 0450 963 633.

Post-war houses and low roofs

Housing Commission and 1960s homes were often built with low-pitched roofs. There may be enough room for ducts but not for a full-height indoor unit, so we look at slimline units, a position near the ridge and a walkway for service access. Sometimes the better answer is a ducted unit for the bedrooms and a split system for the living room.

Extended and rebuilt homes

Where an original Carina house has been extended or replaced by a new two-storey home, ducted air conditioning can be planned room by room. In a new build, we like to agree the unit position, return air grille and outlet locations before the ceilings go up, so ducts are short and quiet.

Zoning

A household in a three- or four-bedroom home usually benefits from three zones: bedrooms, living and a study or rumpus room. Running only the zones in use keeps the system efficient. The return air grille goes in a central hallway where its noise does not reach the bedrooms.

Replacing tired ducted systems

Older ducted systems in Carina are now reaching the end of their life. Before replacing one, we check the condition of the ducts, the insulation on them and whether the zone dampers still work. Sound ducting can be reused; crushed or poorly insulated sections are replaced.

Supply and wiring

Mitsubishi Electric, Actron Air and Daikin are among the ducted brands we can supply and install. Our licensed electricians run the dedicated circuit and check the switchboard has capacity.
