Local knowledge
Ducted in Northbridge homes
Northbridge ducted jobs are shaped by the size of the homes. Federation and interwar houses on the peninsula's wide blocks carry big floor plans, high ceilings and formal rooms, so we design 5–6 zones as standard and calculate capacity on room volume, not bedroom count. Roof cavities in this era of housing are usually generous, which keeps duct runs clean, but extensions and attic conversions need checking early since they often steal the space a fan coil unit would use.
The harbour is the other design input. On the southern slopes above Sailors Bay we spec coastal-rated outdoor units with coated coils, site them out of the salt-laden southerly weather where possible, and build coil rinsing into the service schedule. Steep split-level blocks down those streets also complicate drainage and access, so unit position gets decided on site, not off a plan. Higher up near Northbridge Plaza the salt eases and standard equipment does the job.

Frequently asked
Common questions about ducted air conditioning in Northbridge
What affects a ducted quote for my Northbridge home?
Large Federation and interwar family homes on wide blocks, substantial renovations and extensions, and contemporary rebuilds on the slopes running down toward the Sailors Bay waterfront. We confirm roof space, room sizes and the proposed zones on site. The installed price bands above are a starting point; the measured layout determines the fixed quote.
What local conditions should the ducted design account for?
The harbour inlet at Sailors Bay puts real salt into the air on the southern side of the suburb, and outdoor units down those streets corrode faster than units higher on the peninsula. We spec coastal-rated condensers with protective coil coatings near the water and recommend more frequent coil rinses. Higher up near the Plaza, exposure eases and tree litter becomes the bigger maintenance factor.
Can an existing Northbridge ducted system be upgraded?
We inspect the existing ducts, insulation and controls before deciding what can be reused. Include a floor plan and the old unit’s model label when requesting a quote, particularly if extensions have changed the rooms the system serves.
