Braemar ducted reverse cycle air conditioning gives Adelaide homeowners heating and cooling from one system. A single indoor unit sits discreetly in your ceiling space and connects to ductwork that delivers conditioned air to every room. In summer it cools your home, and in winter it reverses the process to provide efficient warmth. There is no need for separate heating and cooling systems, and no gas connection required.
For Adelaide homes without natural gas, or for homeowners who prefer an all-electric setup, a Braemar ducted reverse cycle system is a practical, energy-efficient choice. Every model in the range uses DC inverter technology, which adjusts compressor speed to match the demand. This means less wasted energy, quieter operation and more consistent temperatures throughout the day.
As a certified Climate Masters of Seeley International dealer, Gas Works designs every Braemar ducted air conditioning installation around your specific home. We assess your floor plan, insulation, ceiling space and orientation before recommending the right system capacity, outlet layout and zoning configuration. The result is a system that performs efficiently from day one and keeps your home comfortable all year.
A Braemar ducted reverse cycle system consists of two main components: an indoor unit mounted in your ceiling space and an outdoor unit (condenser) installed outside your home. The two are connected by refrigerant piping and electrical cabling.
Cooling mode (summer): The indoor unit draws warm air from inside your home through a return air grille. This air passes over a cold evaporator coil, which absorbs the heat. The cooled air is then pushed through insulated ductwork and delivered to each room via ceiling or wall outlets. The absorbed heat is transferred to the outdoor unit and released outside.
Heating mode (winter): The process reverses. The outdoor unit extracts heat from the outside air (even on cold days) and transfers it to the indoor unit. The air passing over the now-warm evaporator coil is heated and distributed through the ductwork into your home.
This heat pump process is highly efficient because it moves heat rather than generating it. For every unit of electricity the system uses, it can deliver several units of heating or cooling energy. This is what makes reverse cycle air conditioning one of the most energy-efficient ways to heat and cool an Adelaide home.
A Braemar ducted reverse cycle air conditioner heats and cools your entire home through the same ductwork. One installation covers both seasons, simplifying your home comfort and reducing the number of systems to maintain.
Every Braemar ducted system uses DC inverter technology. Unlike older fixed-speed units, an inverter compressor adjusts its output to match the load. This reduces energy consumption, minimises temperature fluctuations and lowers your running costs.
The Braemar Zone Controller lets you set individual temperatures for different areas of your home. You can turn off zones that are not in use, so you are only conditioning the rooms that matter. A standard kit covers four zones, with optional expansion using RF remote sensors.
The indoor unit is compact and low-profile, designed to fit into tight Adelaide ceiling spaces including those found in renovated homes, cottages and newer builds with lower roof lines. The outdoor unit is slim, allowing flexible placement along side walls or in narrow spaces.
Current Braemar ducted models use R32 refrigerant, which has a 68% lower global warming potential than the older R410A. It is also more energy-efficient, meaning less refrigerant is needed to achieve the same result. Better for the environment and better for performance.
Every Braemar ducted reverse cycle air conditioner comes with a five-year comprehensive manufacturer’s warranty, backed by Seeley International’s national service and support network.
Gas Works supplies the full Braemar ducted reverse cycle range, including single-phase systems for standard residential homes and three-phase options for larger properties. We also install the Braemar Dominator Series for homeowners replacing an existing ducted gas heater with an all-electric reverse cycle solution.
The most common choice for Adelaide homes. Braemar single-phase ducted reverse cycle systems are available in capacities from 7kW to 16kW, covering small to large floor plans. The indoor unit features a splittable design on larger models (12, 14 and 16kW) for easier installation in tight roof spaces.
Best for: Most Adelaide homes looking for a single system for year-round heating and cooling.
Designed for larger Adelaide homes with three-phase power supply. These systems deliver higher capacity heating and cooling for bigger floor plans, multiple living zones and open-plan layouts. Available in 20kW and 24kW capacities.
Best for: Larger homes, multi-storey properties and open-plan layouts that require higher capacity heating and cooling.
The Dominator Series is purpose-built for Adelaide homeowners who want to replace an existing ducted gas heater with an all-electric reverse cycle system. The indoor unit is designed to fit into the exact same position as your old gas heater in the ceiling space. It connects to your existing ductwork and outlets, avoiding the cost and disruption of a full duct replacement.
Best for: Adelaide homeowners replacing a ducted gas heater who want to switch to all-electric heating and cooling without replacing their ductwork.
Not sure which system suits your home? Gas Works provides free on-site assessments across metropolitan Adelaide. We will evaluate your home, measure your spaces and recommend the right Braemar ducted reverse cycle model and configuration.
Yes. Braemar ducted reverse cycle systems are designed for Australian conditions and work well across Adelaide’s hot summers and cool winters. The DC inverter technology maintains efficient performance across a wide range of outdoor temperatures, and the zone control feature lets you manage comfort room by room.
Running costs vary depending on the size of your home, the model installed, your electricity tariff and how you use the system. As a general guide, a well-zoned ducted reverse cycle system running on inverter technology is one of the most energy-efficient ways to heat and cool an Adelaide home. Using zone control to condition only occupied rooms makes a significant difference to your bills.
Single-phase systems suit the majority of Adelaide homes with standard residential power supply. They are available in capacities from 7kW to 16kW. Three-phase systems are designed for larger homes with three-phase power and are available in 20kW and 24kW capacities. Your Gas Works consultant will assess which option suits your home during the free on-site quote.
Yes. The Braemar Dominator Series is specifically designed for this purpose. The indoor unit fits into the same position as your existing gas heater, connects to your current ductwork and pairs with a new outdoor unit. It is the most cost-effective and least disruptive way to switch from gas to all-electric heating and cooling.
Yes. The Braemar Zone Controller is available as an optional upgrade for all Braemar ducted reverse cycle models. It comes standard as a four-zone kit, with the option to expand to eight zones using additional RF remote sensors. You can set individual temperatures and schedules for each zone.
