What is Add On Cooling?
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.

Jared came twice because we had a difficult set-up situation in a rear room with a box gutter. The solution worked out well. David and Daniel were professional and friendly installers who installed without fuss or mess. Sparky (Harold) was also efficient and easy to communicate with. My wife and I are very happy with the installation.

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.

Daniel Hay, the person that measured up and provided the estimate was excellent. He was very professional and came across as very honest and trustworthy. The installer's were excellent on the day they just got on with the job and removed all the rubbish and vacuum up afterwards.
EDEN PARK
Overall very satisfied. Quick to come out to quote, gave various alternatives and recommendations. Installers were very efficient installing four units in a few hours without leaving a mess and units are positioned nicely. Also much more competitive offer than another couple of quotes I received.
PAUL F.

I just had my two units installed. Please pass on my thanks to Jared Wates, who provided the quote, and the team that installed the systems today. The installation team worked really hard, double-checked, if not triple-checked, and certainly made sure things were clean when they left. A very professional and courteous team.

JOHN R.

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
CHARLIE H.

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.

I had not dealt with Coldflow until very recently. In a two week period I have dealt with service, sale and installation personnel. All of them were extremely pleasant to deal with, very helpful and efficient - great customer service makes happy customers :)
WENDY L.

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!

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.

I received a welcome email reminder that a service was due and made a booking date to suit. Your technicians contacted me the day before to confirm a time and they arrived on time as promised. The work was carried out efficiently by two young men, Steven and Hilo, who did so with courtesy and good humour. They are a credit to your business.
AAFKO S.

Once again Brodie excelled and organised a technician to come straight out to tend to a minor issue. No questions asked just great customer service as always. I highly recommended Brodie and the team at ColdFlow. After using them for the first time a few years ago we would not go anywhere else. A huge 'thank you' to everyone at ColdFlow ??

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.
KENSINGTON
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.
MITCHAM
This was an incredibly easy process for us from start to finish. Daniel was wonderful at determining the best fit for our house and life and made the selection process so easy. The team on the day were quick and did a great job. We can't believe it didn't even take a full day. We are so happy with everything!
Tess F.

The whole process from selecting the Aircon, advised by Sales Rep Jared to the installation by Bailey and Anton was so efficient and smooth flowing. Installers were exceptionally courteous and helpful and professional. I couldn't be more pleased with the overall experience. Thank you very much!
Ranjit K.
FOREST HILL
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.
LYNDHURST
Prompt and good communication in letting customers know when they are about to arrive. They do and communicate what was done in service. Any questions are answered and I like the professionalism of turning up in a company named work vehicle and uniform. Also the payment method is trusted with a receipt on the email
KATHERINE V.
SCORESBY
Darren Story was very helpful with the initial site visit, he explained clearly how the installation would run, and gave us the options. Ash and his team did a highly professional job with the installation, and I am thankful that they wore masks as my mum was home recovering from surgery. A brilliant job all round, thank you very much.

Richard J.

Very likely, your team arrived on time. They worked quickly and efficiently, plus they were very friendly. They left our house as they found it , clean and tidy. Just one thing they left behind a piece of equipment which I'm sure they can use. It is no use to us, so it would be a shame to throw it out. Many Thanks.
ANNELISE B.

NARRE WARREN SOUTH
The young guy was very polite, knew what he had to do , and told me what he HAD done. BTW , I was the one that organized many of Braemar heaters to be installed here in my village. ( Waterford Valley Lakes) I would have thought that you would have organized ALL the other ones to be serviced at the same time as they are the same age.
