The Daikin ducted heat pump range in New Zealand
Daikin makes ducted units for different jobs, and the one we pick depends on your house.
- Slim ducted units. For roof spaces where the clear height is tight, including heating a bedroom wing or a few rooms.
- Whole-home units. For heating and cooling a small to large house from one system.
- Bulkhead units. For heating or cooling one area, in a drop ceiling or a shallow ceiling.
With ducted, you only see three things inside. The controller, the return air grille and the vents in each room.
Daikin ducted systems for Christchurch homes
The Daikin unit we measure for depends a lot on the house and where it is.
- Tight roof space in established homes. A ducted retrofit in Aidanfield or Hoon Hay works when the roof has room for the indoor unit and the ducts. Where that space is tight, we look at the slimmer Daikin units first.
- Homes that have been added to. In plenty of Burnside houses, the old heating only covers part of the house. A bulkhead unit can heat one area with a shallow or drop ceiling. For the whole house, a whole-home unit with zones sets each part on its own.
- Big homes on bigger sections. In Spencerville and Marshland, the guest wing or rumpus room isn’t used every day. A whole-home Daikin system with zoning heats the zones you’re in and leaves the rest.
- New builds. In Prebbleton, ducts planned before the linings go on run through the roof space with no ceiling patching. That’s the time to choose the Daikin unit and plan the zones.

Matching a Daikin ducted system to your house
Which unit fits comes down to three things we check on site.
- Ceiling space. How much clear height and access is there in the roof? A shallow or crowded space points to the slimmer units. A roomy one gives you more choice.
- What you’re heating. The whole house, the bedroom wing, or one room or area. A bulkhead unit for one area is a very different job from a whole-home system.
- What’s there now. Got an old ducted system? Its ducts, vents and pipe routes might be reusable. We check them before we count on it.
Then we size the unit for the heat each room loses, not just the total floor area. And we lay out the vents and the return air grille.
Zoning options for Daikin ducted systems
Zoning gives you room by room control on one ducted system.
- A zone for each part of the house. Dampers in the ducts open and close, so each zone gets its own temperature.
- A zone controller. You set the temperature for each zone, and use timers to switch zones on and off through the day.
Zoning suits houses where the bedrooms and living areas get used at different times. It works the same way with any brand. See heat pump zoning.
Daikin or another brand?
Daikin is one of five brands we fit. The others are Mitsubishi Electric, Fujitsu, Toshiba and Rinnai. So the choice is yours, not ours. Already set on Daikin? We’ll work within its range. Still deciding? We’ll show you how the Daikin option for your house stacks up against a Mitsubishi Electric ducted system. All four are side by side in heat pump brands comparison.

How we install a Daikin ducted heat pump
1
Indoor unit
It goes in the roof space or under the floor, in the Daikin unit that suits that space.
2
Ducts and vents
Insulated ducts run to a vent in each room, each sized for the heat that room loses.
3
Return air grille
It goes where air can flow back from every room, with a filter you can reach.
4
Outdoor unit
We put it where it gets good airflow and stays quiet at the neighbour's place.
5
Electrical connection
A licensed electrical worker connects the system.
6
Testing and handover
We test it fully in heating and cooling, then show you the controller and the zones.

Daikin ducted heat pump questions
Which Daikin ducted unit suits a narrow ceiling space?
A slimmer ducted unit, or a bulkhead unit if you only want to heat one area. Which suits you depends on how many rooms you're heating and how much space there is. We measure the ceiling before we pick a model.
Can a Daikin ducted system replace my old R22 ducted unit?
Yes. Whether your old pipes and ducts can be reused depends on their condition and size. We check that on site before we count on it.
Can I control Daikin ducted heating room by room?
Yes, if you add zoning. A zone controller gives each zone its own temperature, and timers switch zones on and off through the day. We'll set the zones up around how you use the house.
Do you service Daikin ducted systems?
Yes. We service and repair Daikin heat pumps, ducted systems included. Book a Daikin heat pump service any time.
