Ducted Air Conditioning Tips for Canberra
Canberra's extreme temperature range (below 0°C in winter, above 40°C in summer) makes ducted reverse cycle the best choice — you need reliable heating and cooling year-round
The ACT government offers energy efficiency rebates for households upgrading to energy-efficient heating and cooling — check the Sustainable Household Scheme for interest-free loans on ducted systems
Canberra's dry climate makes evaporative cooling effective in summer, but it cannot heat in winter — reverse cycle is the only single-system solution for Canberra's full temperature range
