What is Add On Cooling?
We can add refrigerated cooling to your existing gas ducted heating system using the same ductwork when compatible.
Some modifications may be required, and not all heating systems support it.

How does it work?
Add On Cooling is when a cooling unit is added to your existing or newly purchased gas ducted heating system. The existing heating unit and the ducting must be cooling compatible (please note that most existing gas heating systems will not be compatible).
Often a new heater and new ducting will be required for combined gas heating with a refrigerated add-on cooling system. Once installed however, it means both heating and cooling will be distributed through the same vents.

Add On Cooling Specifications
Retrofitting Add-On cooling to an Exsiting Gas Heater
Retrofitting addon cooling to a gas ducted heater is difficult because the existing ducts and vents are designed for heating, may not have the necessary electrical wiring or controls, and the size and location of the unit may not allow for installation.
Compatibility
The first issue is that not all gas ducted heaters are compatible with add-on cooling systems. It's important to consult with Coldflow to determine whether your particular gas ducted heater can support an add-on cooling system.
Airflow
Ducted heating systems rely on a specific airflow to heat your home efficiently. If you retrofit an add-on cooling system to your ducted heating system, it could potentially disrupt the airflow and cause the system to work less efficiently.
Capacity
An add-on cooling system requires additional capacity to cool your home effectively. If your gas ducted heater doesn't have enough capacity to handle the additional load of the cooling system, it could cause the system to break down or work less efficiently.
Installation
Retrofitting an add-on cooling system to a gas ducted heater requires careful installation to ensure that it's done correctly. A licensed HVAC professional should perform the installation to avoid any potential safety hazards or damage to the system.
Cost
Retrofitting an add-on cooling system to a gas ducted heater can be expensive. You'll need to factor in the cost of the cooling system itself, as well as the installation costs. It's important to consider whether the cost of the system is worth the potential benefits of having both heating and cooling in your home.
Frequently Asked Questions About Gas Ducted Heating and Evaporative Cooling
How does it work?
How Does Add On Cooling Work?
Add On Cooling as the name suggests is an extension / add on that is installed onto or with a Gas Ducted Heating system. It works by installing a condensing unit outside your home either on the roof or the side of your house.
A series of pipes then connects the condensing unit to a coil that is connected to the Gas Ducted Heating unit and your duct work. The coil then distributes warm and cool air, throughout your home depending on which system you decide to use.
Depending on the Add On Cooling unit installed will determine whether you will have 2 or 1 controllers used to operate the heating and cooling of your home.
Why choose Add On Cooling
Benefits of Add-on Cooling
Since gas ducted heating is Melbourne’s top choice in terms of heating options, and users of this system would also like to enjoy cooling options for the summer, an add-on cooler is the perfect solution to this problem.
As gas ducted heating is only applicable for your heating needs, an add on cooling system allows for your home to be both cooled and heated without the extra cost of having another duct system in your house (they use the same duct system).
Benefits of Add-on Cooling
One Duct System - The add-on cooling system is designed to use the same duct and grilles system as the heater which saves a lot of money and time installing the system.
Zoning - Most gas ducted heating manufacturers produce systems that are capable of sustaining different temperatures in different rooms/areas of the house. This gives different users of the same house the benefit of having the a temperature to their liking. A Braemar heater is able to zone up to four different temperatures at once.
Add-on Now or Later - You have the choice to install the add-on cooler with your heater purchase or add it on whenever you feel like having it.

Everyone involved in this was great. Ash and Terry who did the installation did a terrific job with a lot of attention to detail. And we really appreciate the work they put in. The weather was well and truly against them on the second day which made things really hard. But they were great. Thank you.

Coldflow recently removed our gas ducted heating and it replaced with a reverse cycle air conditioner. The process from quote to installation was simple and quick! Communication in the lead up to and on the day of installation was terrific. They also tidied up after themselves! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Coldflow to family and friends.
Madeleine L.

Team did a great job, install team had to vary the installation location of parts, access etc, vs. communicated during the sales process. This is fine, just a note that worth getting feedback from your install team to your sales team to help future customer comms. The team kept the site clean and took away all rubbish which was great

We would have liked to be given the option whether to have the smelly chemicals sprayed in the split systems, as the smell lasted for over a week and we would have opted not to have that. Otherwise we are very happy with the overall service and communication from the technician.
LAUREN C.
RINGWOOD NORTH
I have always had very good service from Coldflow in the past and now at present and I would thoroughly recommend them to everyone who has airconditioning. As our house is relatively new at present, we are waiting to hear from the builders if our system is still under warranty, if it isnt we will certainly get back to you again.
LINDA F.
CLYDE
Amazing turnaround and communication! We had a sales person booked in 3 days after we made the online enquiry. Quote was provided on the spot. All questions answered promptly. Installation one week later. All completed in one day. Sales and installations staff were all super friendly, approachable and helpful. Could not fault the team or service!

KATHY H.
BONBEACH
We'd highly recommend the team from Coldflow. Great communication, prompt and efficient installation and also great advice regarding the removal of our old gas wall heater. Not something we had considered but well worth it with the government rebate which we hadn't known about. Absolutely love our new Daikin unit too! Thanks coldflow.??
PETER M.
ASPENDALE GARDENS
We've had the team out on a few occasions now and they have been fantastic. Always on time, great communication and clearly experts in this field. I trust their work and advice and will continue to use Coldflow in the future. I'm already referring them to family and friends.
Richard J.
IVANHOE EAST
Very glad and relieved I chose Coldflow. Your installer Murray arrived at 7am Monday 21st, was quickly to work with a minimum of fuss. Old Brivis unit and new Braermar unit out and in through the roof. All over by 9am. He showed us how to use the Braemar control unit before leaving. Great job.
PETER H.

I was happy with the whole procedure, the cheerful telephone contacts including Adam, the visit from Chris for the original service, the quotation and information from Brian and the two installers yesterday. Thank you all for being so positive and Helpful.

Sorry I had forgotten the survey. All went well. Ray came as he said and went to work straight away. He left the area clean and tidy after explaining what he had done for the service. Will definitely look to Coldflow in two years time for the next service.
LIZ P.
NOTTING HILL
Ray did an excellent job. As it turned out, the error that caused the problem was cleared when the power was off after the storm, but he still made sure the system was working properly by doing a really thorough check of everything. Very helpful, professional and clearly very keen to make sure the job was done properly. Great work!
ANDREW R.
MULGRAVE
The installers were exceptionally good. Understood the fragility of my ceiling and dealt with my threatening neighbour when they climbed on the roof on my side. The technician also gave me advice on how to keep the filters healthy and what setting to use. Thanks Coldflow.
JULIE D.
HAWTHORN
Fantastic service both in regards to receiving the quote (the man sent out seemed to be very knowledgeable and helpful in providing advice on what would work) as well as the installers, who were timely, friendly, knowledgeable and professional in their installation of our split systems :) very very happy with the service we received!!
MARC P.
WOLLERT
Chris Didcock was very friendly and reassured me that the issue would be rectified. However, our heater went back to fault mode after Chris left. As promised, Chris came first thing in the morning and reset the heating unit after being in contact with the manufacturer about the error code.
MICHAEL B.
LYNDHURST
The whole installation and mains connection went seamlessly, with only a very small 'mains disconnect' period, which was great as my son is currently WFH and had a very small unavailability time with work. Very happy with the whole process, from quote to installation.
