Central Ducted Systems

Yes. With a heat pump or furnace paired with an air conditioning unit, a ducted system can deliver year-round heating and cooling.

The size depends on square footage, insulation, number of rooms, and climate zone. A professional load calculation (Manual J) is recommended to ensure the right capacity.

Yes, especially when paired with a high-efficiency unit (SEER 16+ for cooling, high AFUE for heating) and well-sealed ducts.

Every 3–5 years, or sooner if you notice dust buildup, poor airflow, or allergy issues.

Yes, zoning allows you to control temperatures in different areas of the home using dampers and thermostats, improving comfort and efficiency.

Costs vary from $5,000–$15,000 depending on size, brand, ductwork needs, and efficiency rating. Installation is a major factor in overall pricing.

A central ducted system is an HVAC solution that distributes cooled or heated air through a network of ducts, providing consistent climate control throughout an entire home or building.

It uses a central air handler or furnace that conditions the air and then pushes it through ducts and vents into each room. Return ducts bring air back to the system for reconditioning.

Benefits include whole-home comfort, even temperature distribution, quiet operation, improved air quality with filters, and energy efficiency when properly installed and maintained.
