  • Neat and tidy, quality workmanship all around. I'd recommend them if you're looking for a first rate solar/battery installation.

  • Aaron recently installed a new ducted air conditioning system for us, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience.

  • He installed nine new light fixtures for us and was meticulous in the positioning and installation. They look great and we are beyond happy with the service provided.

  • It is rare these days to find a company that genuinely cares about its customers beyond the point of sale. Arlite absolutely does.

  • Aaron and the boys did a bang up job. Even when things weren't going their way it got sorted.

Whole-home comfort, out of sight.

One system, zoned room by room and concealed in the ceiling, so the architecture stays clean.

Ducted air conditioning for Brisbane homes

Ducted air conditioning cools or heats the whole home from a single, concealed system. A central unit connects to ducts in the ceiling, and air is delivered through discreet outlets, so there are no wall-mounted units to work around.

At Arlite, a ducted system is designed around your home before anything is installed. We work from your plans to size the system, place outlets and returns, and divide the home into zones, so each space can be controlled to suit how it is used.

Our own licensed team installs and commissions the system, then looks after it with maintenance, fault-finding and deep cleaning. If you are building or renovating in Brisbane, we work alongside your builder, architect or designer so the system suits the architecture.

  • A ducted system uses one central unit and a network of ducts to deliver air through outlets in each room. It conditions the whole home and can be divided into zones.

  • Ducted air conditioning serves the whole home from one concealed system, while a split system serves a single room or open-plan space with a visible indoor unit. Ducted keeps walls and ceilings clean, and split systems are often simpler for one or two spaces. We can help you weigh the two for your home.

  • Zoning divides the home into areas, such as living spaces, bedrooms and a study, that are controlled separately, so you only condition the rooms you are using.

  • Often it can, depending on ceiling space and access. We assess the home at an in-home, no cost consult and tell you what is possible.

  • A well-designed ducted system is quiet inside the home, because the main unit sits in the roof space or outside, so you mostly hear airflow from the outlets. Noise depends on the design, duct sizing and installation, which is why we plan those carefully.

  • We start by sizing the system and planning the outlets, returns and zones from your plans or a site visit. Our own licensed team then installs the indoor unit, ductwork, outdoor unit and controls, and commissions the system before handover.

  • It depends on the system, how often it runs and the home, but regular maintenance keeps airflow, noise and efficiency where they should be. We can recommend a schedule that suits you.

  • Installation of an EV Wall Charger, and the boys did an amazing job. Left the site clean.

  • Aaron went out of his way to research a range of options for us, some we had not considered, which turned out fantastic.

    Shane Fracchia Google review · May 2026
  • They are a family run business so you deal directly with them rather than an outsourced contractor for the solar and battery installation.

    Nick Robs Google review · May 2026
  • They are reliable, always turn up when they say they will, and consistently deliver a high standard of workmanship.

  • In less than two days they completed all the work and took away all old panels and I could see the performance of the system right on my phone.
