Browse Forums General Discussion 1 Sep 11, 2008 11:45 am We have a ducted air conditioning system (I think refrigerated??) in our roof currently and are looking at getting heating as well by next winter..
Basically what I want to know is (a) can heating just be "added" to the existing system, and (b) can it be "zoned" for each room. Obviously there will need to be some big changes (ie control panels, heating modules) etc but wondering whether it is viable to use the existing infrastructure already in place, or to install brand new?

You will need to check out if the tubing in the roof in insulated enough for heating & cooling. We were looking to use our ducted heating for cooling as well but decided to get a air con instead. We would have been cooling a lot of tubing in the roof to just keep the lounge & bedroom cool. Good luck! Timbacare - Save Your Furniture!

I'm not exactly sure why...but I just thought I'd pass that on Chris Re: Ducted Cooling - can it convert to heating as well? 4Oct 01, 2008 4:57 pm we had it done about 10 years ago, from what i can remember they put extra ducting in the roof space, it's really cramped up there now, they did put extra vents in some rooms but not all, usually near the window, the gas furnace lasted about 7 years, they tended to rust due to the condensation, the newer ones last longer apparently, hope this helps a bit, it is good to have the remote controller, nothing better than having it at the side of the bed on a cold morning. consider putting in wall WC instead of robe in the same bedroom, then it might be doable to hook up to the existing piping. 4 6619 It's possible but a soak well is usually much larger. Your 'soak well' only holds 424 litres when full. What is your soil type? Soak wells need sandy soils. 10 8991 Finally got the Soakwell at my house sucked out. Now I’m looking for ideas on how to hide it as it’s a bit of an eye sore. I’m thinking I’d like to turf over the… 0 3261 |
