Adelaide's Leader in Braemar Ducted Reverse Cycle

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.

How Braemar Ducted Reverse Cycle Air Conditioning Works

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.

Why Adelaide Homeowners
Choose Braemar Ducted Reverse Cycle

One System, Year-Round Comfort

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.

DC Inverter Efficiency

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.

Smart Zone Control

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.

Low-Profile, Discreet Design

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.

R32 Refrigerant

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.

5-Year Comprehensive Warranty

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.

Braemar Ducted Reverse Cycle Range

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.

The indoor unit features a splittable design on larger models (12, 14 and 16kW) for easier installation in tight roof spaces.

  • DC inverter technology for energy efficiency and quiet operation
  • R32 refrigerant (KDHA series) or R410A (SDHV series)
  • Gold fin protective coating on the indoor heat exchanger for durability
  • Built-in drain pump with 1m lift for flexible installation
  • ZERL rated to the latest Zoned Energy Rating Label standard
  • Compatible with Braemar Zone Controller (four zones standard, expandable)
  • Optional motion sensor to reduce energy use in unoccupied rooms
  • Modbus compatible for home automation integration
  • Long pipe runs up to 75m for flexible outdoor unit placement
  • DRED (Demand Response Enabled Device) as standard

Best for: Most Adelaide homes looking for a single system for year-round heating and cooling.

Three-Phase Ducted Reverse Cycle (SDHV / SCHV Three-Phase)

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.

  • Three-phase DC inverter compressor for powerful, stable performance
  • Installer-adjustable airflow settings for optimised efficiency and quiet operation
  • Gold fin coil protection for longevity in Adelaide conditions
  • Compatible with Braemar Zone Controller
  • Low-profile indoor unit for discreet ceiling installation
  • DRED as standard

Best for: Larger homes, multi-storey properties and open-plan layouts that require higher capacity heating and cooling.

Braemar Dominator Series (KGHV)

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.

  • Fits directly into the position of any brand of ducted gas heater
  • Uses existing ductwork and ceiling outlets (subject to condition assessment)
  • R32 refrigerant with 68% lower global warming potential than R410A
  • EC backward curve fan for high static pressure, quiet and energy-efficient airflow
  • Micro-channel heat exchanger for maximised heating capacity
  • Seeley’s Black Magic outdoor coil coating for three times better corrosion protection
  • Compatible with Braemar Zone Controller (up to 8 zones)
  • 5-year comprehensive manufacturer’s warranty
