is it easy to replace ducted air con?
ChatGPT said:
Replacing a ducted air conditioning system can be a big job, but how easy it is depends on a few factors:
Easier Replacements (Straight Swap)
If you're replacing an old ducted system with a new one of a similar size and type, it’s usually straightforward because:
The existing ductwork, vents, and electrical wiring may still be usable.
The new unit can often be installed in the same location.
Installation might take only a day or two.
More Difficult Replacements
If you're upgrading or switching to a different type of system, challenges may include:
Ductwork modifications – Older ducts may need resizing or replacing if they’re damaged or incompatible with the new unit.
Electrical upgrades – Newer systems may require different power requirements, needing an electrician to upgrade wiring or switchboards.
Structural changes – If you’re switching from an older system with a different layout, you may need modifications to the ceiling space or roof.
Cost Considerations
A simple replacement can cost around $6,000–$12,000.
If ductwork needs replacing, it could add $2,000–$5,000.
More complex jobs (like changing from split systems to ducted) can go beyond $15,000. |
