Noise
Duct sizes and grille velocities are chosen to keep noise down in quiet rooms.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Irlam are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Access
Filters and the unit need access for servicing — an access panel is non-negotiable.

Can one ducted unit serve several rooms?
It can, but every room then shares one thermostat. Rooms with different uses are better on separate units or zones.
Is ducted air conditioning more expensive?
Usually a little more than a cassette of the same capacity, because of the ductwork, grilles and access panel. In return you get a much cleaner ceiling.
