What Is a Ducted Whole Home Heat Pump?

A ducted heat pump is a central heating and cooling system that distributes conditioned air throughout your home via a network of ducts installed in the ceiling or under the floor. The result? A consistent, comfortable temperature in every room, without the need for multiple indoor units on your walls.

Perfect for large or multi-level homes, a ducted heat pump system delivers seamless climate control while remaining virtually invisible.

Benefits of Ducted Whole Home Heat Pumps

✅ Comprehensive Comfort

Ducted systems are ideal for homeowners wanting total climate control. Whether you’re hosting guests, relaxing in the lounge, or getting cozy in bed, you’ll enjoy consistent comfort in every part of your home.

Our ducted systems come with advanced filtration to help remove dust, allergens, and pollutants—ideal for those with asthma or allergies.

✅ Zoned Heating & Cooling

Zone control allows you to heat or cool specific areas as needed, saving energy and giving you flexibility over your home’s climate, especially useful for larger Auckland homes.

✅ Smart Wi-Fi Control

With Wi-Fi-enabled systems, you can manage your ducted heat pump using your smartphone, tablet, or even voice control via Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.
