What changes the cost of a ducted system?
The final price is influenced by the equipment, installation complexity and how much of the air-distribution system is required or can be reused.
System capacity
Larger homes and higher heat loads generally need greater capacity. Correct sizing should consider more than floor area alone.
Number of zones and outlets
Additional zones, dampers, outlets and advanced controllers increase material and installation requirements but can improve comfort and control.
New installation vs replacement
A replacement may allow some existing components to be reused, while a new installation requires complete ductwork, grilles, supports and related work. Older ductwork may still be worth replacing if it is damaged, undersized or poorly laid out.
Access and site conditions
Roof-space access, ceiling type, outdoor-unit location, electrical work, drainage and difficult pipe routes can all affect labour and materials.
