The perfect home climate can be achieved thanks to reverse cycle air conditioning. You can relax on the warmest days and the coldest nights with the push of a button. And with modern inverter technology, it's energy-efficient and cost-effective.
In simplistic terms, reverse cycle air conditioning extracts heat from outside. The warm air is cooled or heated by refrigerant and is transported through the home via ducts, vents or split system units.
They are made to suit a range of households, families and budgets.
Jim's Heating & Cooling is your local expert for all reverse cycle systems, including Ducted air conditioning, Adelaide, and splits.
We can work with you from day 1 of installation to day 1000 and beyond for maintenance and servicing.
When you need us on the most challenging days, our local technicians can arrive within 1 hour of your call* for on the spot solutions.
Jim's provides 24/7 attendance all year round with no additional after hours charges. So whether you need a ducted reverse cycle installed ahead of a major summer hot patch, or your split system cleaned out for winter warmth, contact our friendly customer support team.

Ducted Air Conditioning & Ducted Heating in Adelaide
Ducted reverse cycle systems are unobtrusive and incredibly efficient. Versatile installation and slimline components are perfect for both new homes or have an upgrade to your current home.
Most ducted reverse cycle systems use a refrigerant as it's the simplest pairing, however, you can also combine gas ducted heating with refrigerated cooling. Both can still be easily zoned, although the ventilation system will be slightly different.
Reverse Cycle Split Systems
The split system is an economical and practical way to make your house feel like home. Each individual unit can be adjusted to perfectly cater for the room it's in, all from one main external unit.
You can even choose to install different sized air conditioners in each room, so that your bedroom is not overpowered, for example.
Maintenance is incredibly simple, and comfort is a given. And if you have any doubts about ducted installation, a reverse cycle split can be installed with very little fuss.
Factors to Consider for Reverse Cycle Heating System Installation in Adelaide
There's a lot to think about when it comes to reverse cycle ducted air conditioning. Adelaide is a unique city where weather extremes are a challenge and the conditions can fluctuate wildly.
One day it's hot and sunny, the next cool, wet and windy.
So when you are in the market for a reverse cycle air con for your Adelaide home, there are some questions to ask yourself first. While your budget can often be the main factor in your decision, it shouldn't be the only one.
Here's what you need to consider.
The floor plan helps to determine the kilowattage (kW) of your unit and the total space you need to cover. Without a plan you are running blind and might overspend on something which wastes energy or is too small to cope a bigger home. The best bet is to contact Jim's Heating and Cooling for a professional technician who can assess your home. Their advice will go a long way to understanding the best solution and knowing exactly how much money you should spend.
Insulation has a surprising influence. It's a natural barrier to additional warmth in summer, while it retains warmth in winter. A well-insulated property will help a reverse cycle ducted air conditioner keep your home consistently comfortable with less energy required.
The number of rooms or zones you have will impact on the reverse cycle system you choose. Zoning is a great way to save as you only have to heat or cool the rooms you want. Brands such as Rinnai produce multi head split systems for up to 9 rooms, although not all models can stretch that far. You want to be confident the system you're eyeing off can do the job for more, or less.
Space for the outdoor unit is crucial. It requires enough space for ventilation and maintenance, while any roof mounted parts must have proper support. Ducted systems also require correct placement inside the home.
