Add-on Cooling To Your Ducted Heating
System

If your home has gas ducted heating system and you want cooling without installing a completely separate system, an add-on cooling unit may be an option. It connects to your existing ductwork and uses the same vents to deliver cool air in summer, one system, year-round comfort.
Beyond Heating & Cooling installs add-on refrigerated cooling systems across Melbourne’s northern and eastern suburbs. We’ll assess your existing setup and give you an honest recommendation on whether it’s the right solution for your home.

Add-On Cooling — How It Works With Your Existing Gas

An add-on cooling system works alongside your existing gas ducted heating. In winter, warm air circulates through the ducts as normal. In summer, the add-on unit cools the air and pushes it through the same duct network — so you’re not installing a second set of ducts or vents.
The external compressor unit sits outside your home and connects to a refrigerated coil fitted to your existing heating unit. Cool, filtered air is then distributed through your existing ceiling or floor vents.

• Same ducts and vents used for both heating and cooling
• Cool filtered air delivered to every room
• Zoning lets you cool only the rooms you’re using
• Controlled from your existing heating controller or a new smart controllerSystem

Is Add-On Cooling Right for Your Home?

Add-on cooling isn’t suitable for every home. Whether it works depends on the condition, size, and design of your existing ductwork. Older or undersized ducts may not handle the additional airflow a cooling system requires.
Before recommending add-on cooling, our team will inspect your existing system to confirm:

• Your ductwork is in good condition and adequately sized
• Your heating unit is compatible with an add-on cooling system
• The roof space or underfloor layout can accommodate the additional components If your existing system isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you upfront — and explain the alternatives.
