Quoted Mon, installed Fri
Took the old gas Rinnai out, dropped in a Reclaim heat pump, sorted the VEU rebate so I paid less than $400 out of pocket. Bloke on the phone is the bloke on the tools, refreshing.

Ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning
Ducted reverse-cycle puts one system in the roof and vents into every room, zoned so you're not paying to condition four empty bedrooms at 7pm. It's the most comfortable way to heat and cool a whole house, and the only one that disappears into the ceiling instead of hanging on a wall.

Is it right for you
Where ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning works, and where it doesn’t.
We’d rather you read this and ring someone else than have us fit the wrong thing and both regret it.
The right call when
- Whole-home heating and cooling from a single system
- New builds, and retrofits where there's roof access and clearance
- Anyone who wants the gear out of sight — vents in the ceiling, nothing on the walls
- Homes where zoning matters: bedrooms at night, living areas by day
Think twice if
- Needs real roof space. A tight cavity or a skillion roof can rule it out, and we'll tell you on the site visit rather than after you've paid a deposit
- It's the biggest up-front cost of the three, though not per room once you're past four or five
- Duct design matters more than the unit. An undersized trunk or a bad branch layout will make an expensive system feel weak
How we do it
What happens, start to finish.
- 01
Room-by-room heat-load calc
We walk the home, check ceiling height, window aspect and insulation, then compute the actual kW load. Nothing gets guessed — a 5 kW room quote sizes to a 5 kW unit, not a 7.
- 02
Written fixed-price quote in 2 hrs
Back to you inside 2 business hours with the model number, capacity, line-set length, controller spec, warranty position and total installed price. No 'from $X' bait.
- 03
Order stock, book install day
Mitsubishi warehouse in Melbourne is same-day on common stock. We confirm your install day the moment the unit lands with us.
- 04
Install day — usually one visit
Single-split back-to-back is 3-4 hours on site. Multi-head or ducted is a full day. Drop sheets down, dust extraction on the wall cut, conduit colour-matched outside.
- 05
Test, commission, walk-through
We run it up, check refrigerant pressures, walk you through the remote and MELCloud Wi-Fi setup. You sign the job card when you're satisfied — not before.
- 06
Compliance certificate emailed in 24 hrs
Electrical and refrigeration compliance docs into your inbox by end of business the next day. Warranty registered with Mitsubishi in your name at the same time.

Family business, feels it
Answered the phone myself, quoted the job, showed up to install the job. That trail of trust doesn't exist with most of the bigger mobs anymore.

Actually got up in the roof
Had three quotes for a ducted system. These guys were the only ones who actually crawled into the roof. Middle of the pack on price but installed cleaner than the others would have.

Weighing up the alternatives
Step 1 of 4 · 25% complete
Can ducted go into an existing house?
Usually, if there's roof access and enough clearance for the indoor unit and the trunk duct. We check that on the site visit before quoting — it's the one thing that genuinely rules the job out.
How many zones do I need?
Four covers most homes: bedrooms, living, kitchen/meals and a spare. We fit Zonemate as standard so adding a zone later doesn't mean pulling the ceiling apart.
Is ducted more expensive to run than splits?
Zoned properly, no. Unzoned it can be, because you're conditioning the whole house to serve one room — which is exactly why we don't install it unzoned.
