Prices include the Daikin system and controller, ducting, ceiling grilles, return air grille, pipework, a dedicated circuit by an appropriately licensed electrical worker, installation and commissioning. Zoned prices use Daikin Inverter (FDYAN) systems with AirHub, a sensor and damper in each zone. Two-storey homes, long duct runs and three-phase systems can cost more; we’ll tell you why before you commit.
What a ducted system actually is
Weighing it up against wall units? Read ducted vs multiple high-wall heat pumps for an honest comparison.
A ducted heat pump conditions your whole home from a single system. One indoor fan coil sits hidden in your ceiling or underfloor space, and insulated ducting carries conditioned air to a discreet grille in each room. From inside, all you see is a slim vent in the ceiling and a controller on the wall — no wall units, and one outdoor unit instead of several.
It's the option people choose when they want the whole house comfortable rather than one room at a time, and when they don't want hardware on every wall.
Whole-home comfort
Every room conditioned from one system — bedrooms, hallways and living areas all at the temperature you set.
Barely visible
Just a slim grille per room. Nothing on the walls, and a single outdoor unit rather than one per room.
Zoned control
Split the house into zones so you're not paying to heat empty bedrooms. We fit Daikin AirHub zoning on Daikin Inverter ducted systems, with a touch-screen controller and a temperature sensor in every zone.
Quiet running
The noisy part lives in the ceiling space, not on your lounge wall. Ducted systems are noticeably quieter indoors.
Adds real value
A properly installed ducted system is a genuine selling point for a home, not just a comfort upgrade.
Designed, not guessed
We size the system and the ductwork to your actual home — airflow, zoning and layout planned properly before anything is ordered.
Honest advice
Is ducted right for your place?
It's a bigger investment than a wall unit, so it should be the right call — not just the bigger sale.
Ducted usually makes sense
New builds and full renovations, where ducting can go in before linings. Single-storey homes with decent roof space. Homes where you want every room comfortable, or where you don't want wall units on show. Larger homes where you'd otherwise need four or five separate heat pumps.
When we'd steer you elsewhere
If you only need one or two rooms conditioned, ducted rarely stacks up — a high-wall or two will do the job for a fraction of the cost. Same if there's genuinely no ceiling or underfloor space to run ducting. In those cases we'll recommend high-wall units or a multi-head system instead, and tell you why.

Zoning control
Daikin AirHub zoning for ducted systems
A ducted system is only as good as its control. Without zoning, every room gets heated whenever the system is on. Daikin AirHub lets you run each zone separately.
What zoning changes
Motorised dampers open and close each zone, and each zone can run on its own weekly timer. Lounge on in the evening, bedrooms before bed, spare room off, controlled from the 7-inch touch screen, or the Daikin Airbase app if you add Wi-Fi. Each zone has its own temperature sensor.
Which systems it suits
AirHub works with Daikin Inverter (FDYAN) and Premium Inverter (FDYA) ducted systems, so that’s what we fit when you want zoning. A 5 kW system with three zones starts from $11,199 installed including GST.

Ducted questions
How much does a ducted heat pump cost in Auckland?
Ducted systems are priced per home rather than off a list, because the cost depends on the number of zones, the size of the system, your ceiling or underfloor space, and how much ductwork is needed. As a guide, our Daikin ducted systems start from $8,299 installed including GST for a 5 kW system, $9,599 for a 7.1 kW Premium FDMA, up to from $16,299 for 14 kW. With Daikin AirHub zoning, a 5 kW Inverter (FDYAN) system starts from $11,199 with three zones. We quote a fixed price after a free on-site assessment, with no obligation.
Is ducted better than multiple high-wall heat pumps?
It depends on the house. Ducted wins on looks and whole-home comfort — one discreet grille per room instead of a wall unit in every space, and no outdoor units multiplying around the house. Multiple high-walls usually win on upfront cost and let you heat one room at a time cheaply. For a new build or a full renovation, ducted is often the better long-term answer. For one or two rooms, it rarely stacks up.
Can ducted air conditioning be retrofitted to an existing home?
Often yes — it depends on whether there's enough ceiling or underfloor space to run the ducting and house the indoor fan coil. Single-storey homes with a decent roof cavity are usually straightforward. Two-storey homes and homes with limited roof space need more thought, and sometimes a zoned multi-head system is the better fit. We'll tell you honestly which applies to your place.
What is zoning and do I need it?
Zoning lets you control different areas of the house separately — so you're not paying to heat empty bedrooms while you're in the lounge. Most homes benefit from at least separating living areas from bedrooms. It adds to the upfront cost but usually pays back in running costs and comfort. We fit Daikin AirHub zoning on Daikin Inverter ducted systems, with a touch-screen zone controller, a temperature sensor and weekly timer for each zone, and optional phone app control.
How long does a ducted installation take?
A typical residential ducted install takes a few days on site depending on the size of the system, the number of zones, and access. New builds are usually quicker because the ducting goes in before linings. We'll give you a clear timeframe with your quote so you can plan around it.
Do you do ducted for commercial spaces?
Yes — offices, retail and light commercial fitouts, including ceiling cassettes and multi-head systems where ducted isn't practical. Commercial work is quoted individually after a site visit.
