Ducted in Dunedin
What to know about ducted heat pumps in Dunedin
Most character stock should stay on high-walls. A grant, if you qualify, is high-wall only, useful on pre-2008 Dunedin homes.
Dunedin is not Queenstown-cold, but it is cold enough that a unit without a decent low-temp rating will spend winter defrosting. Damp timber houses make dehumidification part of the job.
Is a ducted right for your home?
A quick way to tell before the installer visits.
A good choice when
A new build or a gut renovation
The ceiling can be designed for ducts, returns and service access. This is when ducted makes sense.
You want the hardware invisible
No heads on the walls. Zoning so the guest room is not on the same setpoint as the lounge.
Consider another type when
A villa with no roof space
Forcing ducts into a shallow ceiling is a noisy, expensive disappointment. Use multi-split or several high-walls.
You need the grant this year
Warmer Kiwi Homes is high-wall only. Do the living area first if funding matters.

Ducted heat pumps in Dunedin: questions
Is a ducted the right heat pump for Dunedin?
Ducted in Dunedin is rare in villas and more plausible in newer Mosgiel or larger renovations with a real roof space. A local installer confirms the type and size on site.
Can I retrofit a ducted heat pump into an older house?
Sometimes, if the roof space is deep enough and there is a return-air path. Many villas and low-pitch 70s houses cannot take it cleanly. The installer should look before you budget for it.
Is ducted cheaper to run than several high-walls?
A well-zoned ducted system can be efficient. An unzoned unit heating empty bedrooms is not. Running cost is about zoning and insulation, not the word ‘ducted’.
