Re: Separate ducts for heating and refrigerated cooling? 2Dec 03, 2009 6:35 pm That's what we currently have in our rented house. I dont think you'd be able to have a slab and ducted heating through the floor though - it would be a lot of work! You'd probably have to have your house on stumps.

They all say its an add on to the heating system I thought it's evaporative that is used as an add-on? Isn't refrigerated another term for reverse cycle, which has both cooling and heating functions, or do they sell systems that only work in the one mode these days?

I don't think I've seen an evaporative add on solution since they have to use seperate ducts. You can get refrigerative cooling with a gas heating add on though that uses the same ducts. In regards to having seperate ducts, it sounds like you might be in store for two seperate devices (a gas heater and a seperate refrigerative unit) which might make it more expensive - but it might also open up the oppurtunity to have gas heating + evap cooling, which will help balance out the cost again (and probably the most economical running costs).

I think you might be right. Maybe I associated gas and evaporative because people who have gas heating seem to tend to add evaporative cooling later. I wonder how many different options are there?

I assumed it would probably cost more.. Ill have to email some places and see whether its possible and what the price difference will be. And Hubby is set of refrigerated even though we'd originally planned for evap... So I think Ill need to get quotes on refrig/heating seperate, refrig/heating together and evap/heating.
