Only Pay To Heat The Rooms You're In
The cheapest air to condition is the air in rooms you're not using. Zoning divides your ducted system into areas you can switch on and off independently — living zones by day, bedrooms by night — and it's the single most effective way to cut a ducted system's running costs.
Zoning for new and existing systems
We design zoning into every new ducted quote as standard, and we can retrofit motorised dampers and zone controls to many existing ducted systems. A typical family home runs two to four zones; larger homes benefit from individual room control with temperature sensors in key rooms.
Smart controllers and phone control
Modern controllers give you scheduling, per-zone temperatures and control from your phone — so the heating comes on before you're home, and the kids' rooms shut off automatically at midnight. We install and configure the controller options from the major manufacturers, and we take the time to walk you through them at handover.

Zoning & Smart Controls questions, answered
Can zoning be added to my existing ducted system?
Often, yes — it depends on duct layout and access. We assess your system in-home and quote a fixed price for dampers, controls and commissioning.
How much can zoning save?
Conditioning half the house costs roughly half as much — real savings depend on your usage patterns and insulation. Bedrooms-by-night/living-by-day zoning typically pays for itself quickly on larger systems.
Which smart controller should I get?
It depends on your system's brand and how much control you want — from a simple two-zone switch to full per-room control with an app. We'll demonstrate the options that suit your system at the quote.
