Browse Forums Heating, Cooling & Insulation 1 Oct 16, 2017 11:15 pm We are building a 49sq house that is double storey. We are looking at options as it is an expensive item to add on. If the builder does large enough ducts, is it worth doing the actual unit and zones post handover? We have been quoted 22.5k to install an Actron air esp plus 19kw system with up to 8 zones. 16 outlets. 19kw seems insufficient since I have seen that recommended for smaller houses?? Apparently it is only single phase too. I haven't yet had a chance to find out how much the builder would charge for the duct work and how much an installer would charge for the rest. Would appreciate any advice.

I am getting them to quote me on upgrading the heating to sp5 so the ducts are bigger. Also 4 zones. They said I can then just add on cooling after.

We have a quote for Brivis SP6 heating and Actron 19kw add on cooling (3 phase) for $19k. This includes 18 outlets, 4 multi controlled zones. The installer is installing the duct work during construction and then the heating and cooling post construction.
