Perth's Ducted Air Conditioning Specialists

A ducted reverse cycle system is the go-to choice for Perth homeowners who want to cool and heat their whole home without a unit hanging off every wall. One central system, ducts running through the roof space, and diffusers in every room — all controlled from one panel or your phone.

It works in summer, it works in winter, and with zone control you only run the areas of the house you’re actually using. That’s where the running cost savings come from — and it adds up over time, especially in a Perth home where the aircon runs hard from October through to April.

Hippo Air & Electrical installs ducted systems in existing homes across the northern suburbs. We do the load calculation, help you pick the right system and brand for your budget, and back every install with a five-year workmanship warranty. No guesswork, no overselling — just the right system for your home.

We size it right — every time

A load calculation isn't optional with us — it's standard on every ducted quote. An oversized system short-cycles and wears out faster. An undersized one never quite keeps up on those 42-degree days. We get it right upfront so you're not paying the price for years afterwards.

You deal with the owner, not a sales rep

When you call Hippo Air & Electrical, you're talking to the person who'll actually do the work. No sales team, no middle layer, no surprises. What you're quoted is what you pay.

5-year install warranty — not just the manufacturer warranty

Most companies hand you the paperwork and walk away. We back our own workmanship for five years. If something isn't right with how it was installed, we fix it at no cost to you.

Why Ducted Air Conditioning Makes Sense for Perth Homes

Whole-Home Comfort

One system covers every room in the house. No juggling remotes across multiple wall units — one controller or app manages it all.

Lower Running Costs With Zoning

Zone control means you only condition the rooms you're in. Run the living area during the day, switch to bedrooms at night. The savings add up fast across a Perth summer.

Whisper-Quiet Operation

The main unit lives in your roof space. Inside, all you hear is air through the diffusers — no fan noise humming away in the corner of the room.

No Wall Units Cluttering the Rooms

Just slim ceiling diffusers that sit flush with your ceiling. Clean, discreet, and most visitors don't even notice them.

Heating & Cooling in One System

Reverse cycle means it handles both seasons. Same ducts, same unit — flip it to heating in winter and you're covered year-round without a separate heater.

Smart Zone Control Available

Control individual zones from your phone. AirTouch integration is available — set different temps for different rooms and let the system manage itself automatically.

How Much Does Ducted Air Conditioning Cost in Perth?

These figures include supply, installation, ducting, zoning, and commissioning. Brand choice, number of zones, roof space access, and any electrical upgrade work can all move the price. Running costs average around $1.00–$1.50 per hour, or roughly $300–$550 per year for typical Perth use.
The best thing you can do before committing is get a proper load calculation done first. That’s always free with Hippo Air & Electrical — and it means you’re not paying for a system that’s the wrong size.

Honest answer — it depends on the home. But here’s a realistic guide based on typical Perth installs:

Client FAQs

Ducted Air Conditioning Perth — Common Questions

How much does ducted air conditioning cost in Perth?

For most Perth homes, ducted reverse cycle air conditioning sits in the $7,000 to $13,000 range for a standard single-storey home. A 3-bedroom home typically comes in at $7,000–$10,000, a 4-bedroom home around $9,000–$13,000, and larger or two-storey homes can push to $15,000–$18,000+. The final price depends on home size, number of zones, brand, roof space access, and whether any electrical upgrade work is needed. The best way to get an accurate number is a free in-home quote and load calculation — which Hippo Air & Electrical provides at no charge.

It depends on how many rooms you’re conditioning. If you’re running three or more rooms regularly, a properly zoned ducted system is almost always cheaper to run long-term than multiple split systems running simultaneously. A good ducted system with zone control lets you only cool or heat the areas you’re using, which cuts energy use significantly. For one or two rooms only, a split system will generally be more cost-effective upfront and in running costs.

The main ones are upfront cost and installation complexity. Ducted systems cost more to install than split systems and require roof space for the indoor unit and ductwork. If your home has limited roof space or unusual construction, installation can be trickier. They’re also less effective for homes where you only want to condition one or two rooms — in that case, a split system might make more sense. That said, for whole-home comfort in a standard Perth home, the benefits generally outweigh the drawbacks over time.

Which ducted air conditioner is the best in Australia?

Daikin consistently ranks as one of the top ducted brands in Australia — reliable, efficient, and well-supported locally in Perth. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Mitsubishi Electric are also excellent choices, known for quiet operation and longevity. Samsung is popular for its smart controls and app integration. The ‘best’ brand really depends on your home size, budget, and priorities. At Hippo Air & Electrical we install all of these brands and will recommend the right one for your specific situation — not just the one with the best margin for us.

From time to time we run supply and install packages and seasonal offers. The best way to find out what’s current is to give us a call or fill in the quote form above. We’ll always give you our best price upfront — no inflated ‘before discount’ pricing.

Most standard residential installs are completed in a single day. Larger homes, two-storey properties, or jobs with more complex ductwork layouts may run into a second day. We’ll give you a clear timeframe when we quote so you can plan around it.
