Getting ducted air conditioning installed is one of the bigger decisions you’ll make for your home — and one of the bigger investments. So you want it done by someone who’s going to get the size right, run the ducts properly, and still be around if something needs attention down the track.
That’s the difference with Hippo Air & Electrical. We don’t just turn up and throw a system in. Every install starts with a proper load calculation — we measure your home, factor in the insulation, ceiling height, window aspect, and how you actually live in the space — and then we spec the right system. Not the biggest one. Not the most expensive one. The right one.
We install ducted reverse cycle systems in existing Perth homes across the northern suburbs — from Three Rocks and Yanchep in the north, down through Joondalup, Wanneroo, and across to Ellenbrook and Midland. Every install comes with a 5-year workmanship warranty on top of the manufacturer warranty.
INSTALLATION COST GUIDE
Price is the number one question we get — and fair enough. Here’s a straight guide to what ducted installation typically costs in Perth for a standard residential home:
All prices include supply, installation, ductwork, zone control, commissioning, and our 5-year workmanship warranty. These are guide ranges — your actual quote may vary based on brand, roof space access, number of zones, and whether any electrical upgrade work is required.
No two homes are identical — and neither are the quotes. Here’s what moves the price up or down:
Larger homes need bigger capacity systems and more ductwork — both push the price up.
More zones = more zone controllers, more dampers, and more installation time. Each zone adds to the cost.
Premium brands like Daikin and Mitsubishi sit at the higher end. Hisense and TCL offer solid quality at a more accessible price point.
Easy roof access speeds up installation. Tight or cluttered roof spaces take longer and can add to labour time.
Well-insulated homes need less system capacity — which can reduce the unit cost.
If your switchboard needs upgrading to handle the new system, this adds to the total. We'll identify this upfront.
Replacing an existing ducted system is often faster than a brand new install — existing ductwork may be reusable depending on condition.
Adding AirTouch zone control and individual room sensors adds to the upfront cost but pays back in energy savings and convenience.
The only way to get an accurate number for your home is a proper in-home assessment. We’ll come out, measure everything, check the roof space, and give you a written quote — all for free.
OUR INSTALLATION PROCESS
From first call to final handover — here’s exactly what to expect when you install a ducted system with Hippo Air & Electrical:
We come out to your home, measure the space, check roof access, and calculate exactly what size system your home needs. No guessing.
We walk you through brand and model options that suit your home and budget — with honest advice on what's worth the extra spend and what isn't.
Our team arrives on time with all the gear. Indoor unit goes into the roof space, outdoor compressor is installed, ductwork is run to every zone.
All wiring is connected, zone controllers are set up, and the system is fully tested before we hand over. We walk you through how to use it.
Find Your Perfect Ducted AC System

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.

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.

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.

Client FAQs
For most Perth homes, ducted installation sits between $7,000 and $13,000 for a standard single-storey home, depending on size and number of zones. A 3-bedroom home typically comes in at $7,000–$10,000 and a 4-bedroom home at $9,000–$13,000. Larger or two-storey homes can push to $14,000–$20,000+. These prices include supply, installation, ductwork, zoning, and our 5-year workmanship warranty. The only way to get an accurate number is a free in-home quote — which we provide at no charge.
A 4-bedroom single-storey Perth home typically falls in the $9,000–$13,000 range for a full ducted reverse cycle install. This assumes a home of around 180–220m² with 3–4 zones. Factors like brand choice, roof space accessibility, insulation quality, and whether any electrical upgrade is needed can move the final price. We’ll give you an exact figure after a free in-home assessment.
Daikin is consistently the most popular choice in Perth — reliable, energy efficient, and well-supported locally. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Mitsubishi Electric are also excellent, particularly for quiet operation and longevity. Samsung is popular for its smart controls. The best brand for your home depends on your budget, home size, and priorities. We install all of these brands and will recommend the right one for your situation without pushing the most expensive option.
Most standard residential installs in Perth are completed in a single day. Larger homes, two-storey properties, or jobs requiring significant ductwork modifications may run into a second day. We’ll confirm your install timeframe clearly when we provide the quote so there are no surprises.
Yes — every ducted system we install is reverse cycle, which means it handles both cooling and heating. One system, one set of ducts, year-round comfort. You don’t need a separate heating system in winter.
The table above gives a reliable guide based on home size and zone count. But the honest answer is that a cost calculator can only get you so far — things like roof space access, existing electrical capacity, insulation quality, and exact home layout all affect the real price. The most accurate way to get your number is a free in-home assessment, which we offer with no obligation.
We’re obviously biased — but here’s what to look for in any installer: a valid refrigeration licence (ARCtick) and electrical licence, a solid warranty on the install itself (not just the unit), and a willingness to do a proper load calculation before quoting. Hippo Air & Electrical ticks all of those. We’re licensed, insured, and back every install with a 5-year workmanship warranty.
We’ll come out, do a proper load calculation, and give you a written quote with no obligation. You’ll know exactly what system you need, what brand we recommend, and what it’ll cost — before you commit to anything.
