Ducted air conditioning is a convenient and discreet option for cooling your home. You can control the climate in multiple rooms using a single system, with quiet operation and no bulky units taking up wall space.
Maxim Air supplies, installs and services Ducted Air Conditioning in Hills District, North Shore, and all Sydney metropolitan areas.
Why choose ducted air conditioning?
If you're installing air conditioning in your home for the first time or replacing an older installation, ducted systems can be installed in most buildings.

Compared to other A/C options, ducted air conditioning is:
- Discreet – Ducted systems are mostly hidden inside your ceiling and walls, with only the grilles being visible. They're also whisper-quiet, making them ideal for bedrooms and study areas.
- Convenient – A ducted system can connect to as many rooms as you need it to, so you don't need to install individual units in different parts of your home. You can adjust temperatures and settings via remote control or smartphone apps, or set programmable timers.
- Efficient – Modern air conditioners are designed for superior energy efficiency. Ducting enhances efficiency even further, so you'll save on electricity bills while keeping cool all year round.
- Flexible – Ducted systems can provide both cooling and heating, keeping you comfortable in all seasons. When you choose a zoned system, you can set different temperatures in different parts of your home.

What are the different types of ducted systems?
We install and service all types of ducted air conditioners from the leading manufacturers. Our technicians will recommend the perfect fit for your home during your consultation.
Ducted evaporative cooling systems
Evaporative cooling is one of the most affordable and energy-efficient options for lowering temperatures and improving the air quality in your home. Unlike some other air conditioners, you can leave your windows and doors open to enjoy the fresh air as the natural breeze circulates through your rooms.
Ducted evaporative cooling uses fans to draw air from outside the home, which evaporates and cools as it passes over water-soaked pads. This means the air inside your home will be slightly moist and won't dry out your skin, while filters will block out pollen and other allergens.
Ducted refrigerated air conditioning
If you live in a more humid area, or you don't want to leave your doors and windows open, refrigerated air conditioning could be a more suitable option than evaporative cooling. Reverse cycle air conditioners can also provide heating in the colder months.
Refrigerated ducted systems lower humidity and circulate the air multiple times every hour. Filtration makes sure this air is pure and free from allergens.
Gas ducted heating
If you've already taken care of cooling, but you need to keep warm in the winter, ducted systems can also supply heat. We can install a reverse cycle air conditioner that can switch between warm and cool air or gas ducted central heating for rapid, energy-efficient heating.
Ducted systems distribute heat more evenly than room heaters, as they don't use radiant heat. Instead, air from conditioned space is recycled through filters and then heated as they pass over combustion tubes and blown back into the space. Filters block out contaminants, leaving your warm air fresh and pure.
Ducted Air Conditioning repairs, maintenance and service
If your Ducted Air Conditioning system develops a problem, you need to get it fixed as soon as possible. Not only may you have to endure uncomfortable temperatures, but your electricity bills could increase and mould and mildew could start to form now that the air's no longer being purified.
When you choose Maxim Air professionals to install your new Ducted Air Conditioning, you'll be covered by the manufacturer's warranty if anything goes wrong. Our technicians are licensed to clean, service and repair air conditioners, and we'll get your system back online as quickly as possible.

- We had our ducted AC replaced by MaximAir and they did an excellent job. Stephen conducted a site visit, inspected our ducts and provided us with a good, detailed explanation of the options. We selected an airtouch 4 system with 8 zones, all individually temperature controlled and we are really happy with it.
Arran gave us a competitive quote and Victor and his team did an amazing job on the installation day. The crew arrived on time, were polite and tidy. Overall, we are very happy with the service we got from MaximAir.Hakan Han24/07/2022 - MaXim Air is great. My ducted aircorn was showing an erroe code after running for 10 mins or so each time. MaXim aircorn came , identified problem accurately, provide all options, no hard sale technique to push customer to replace the aircorn unit, On the contrary, they assess the problem and offered best and more economical way to resolve the issue. They serviced my aircor outdoor unit, raising the foundation structure, cleaned the vent, sealed old cables. The aircorn is working again. MaXim Air endeavoured to fit me in and come punctually, did an absolutely good job. Highly recommendedJeff22/07/2022

- It was a pleasant experience from go to whoa.
Arran listened to all our requirements and concerns and came up with a suggested system that fitted our needs.
His team arrived punctually on the day and installed it within the day,
No problems or hassles, even cleaned up all the dust, packaging, and took the old system and rubbish with them.
The new system was commissioned and working better than we had hoped for.
Many thanks to Arran and his team for a job well done.

- The guys from Maxim were really great. Our installation was a bit complicated and Arran spent a lot of time with us scoping the job to make sure everything was covered. He then presented us with options to make sure we got the best solution possible. On the day, the team of Stephen, Victor, Matt, Sam and Hamid did a really professional job. They were careful, the standard of work was excellent and they did a great job cleaning up afterwards. I would happily recommend Maxim to anyone looking for a quality air conditioning team.Paul Buckingham12/05/2019
- Great experience from start to finish. Arran was very professional over the phone and very informative about the products available and the whole installation process. He also made a follow up call to check on the installation and service provided. The 2 installation guys were also very friendly and professional and did a great job with the our Mitsubishi reverse split system install and even fixed some ducting on our existing ducted system. Best service we've had so far from any company during our renovations. Thanks guys!Deni Di Filippo27/04/2019

- Thanks to Arran and Stephen for their excellent workmanship and customer friendly attitude. Right from the beginning of the process they always guided us about the right product for our home and kept us informed all along. We installed 18.0 KW ducted AC and the whole process was really smooth. There was some delay from my end in approving the quote but Arran still did his best to accommodate the installation dates so that my family can bear the unexpected hot weather in Sydney during the months of December and January. Thanks Maxim team.Raj Bareja01/02/2019

- The team at MaXim Air are extremely professional and friendly. They provided expert advice and suggestions during the initial quote for a ducted system, which was also highly competitive. The installation went flawlessly, they even helped fix up a sagging ceiling when installing the ducted vents. They truly went above and beyond in making sure I was 100% happy with the job. I would highly recommend MaXim Air Conditioning.Tom Williams03/12/2018
- Arran provided expert advice and ideas (that no one else had suggested) for the initial quote for our ducted air conditioning. The quote was very competitive. We received reminders of the installation day via text prior to installation. On the day of installation Victor and his team arrived on the dot of 7am and worked all day until the job was completed. They were very conscientious and cleaned up thouroughly. Would highly recommend MaXim air conditioning services.Helen Devitt01/12/2018
