Add-On Cooling System Features

Add-on cooling works by integrating a cooling coil into your existing gas ducted heating system, connecting it to an outdoor compressor to deliver refrigerated air through your existing ductwork.

This allows you to achieve whole-home heating and cooling without the cost and disruption of installing a completely new ducted system.

Whole-Home Cooling Through Existing Vents

Add-on cooling distributes refrigerated air through the same ceiling outlets used by your gas ducted heating, helping maintain comfortable temperatures throughout the home.

Works Alongside Gas Ducted Heating

The cooling system integrates with your existing heater, allowing both heating and cooling to operate through the same ducted network.

Upgrade Without Replacing Your System

Add-on cooling allows you to extend the capability of your existing gas ducted heating system, delivering full heating and cooling without the need for a complete system replacement.

Is Your System Suitable for Add-On Cooling?

Not all gas ducted heating systems are compatible. Our team assesses system capacity, ductwork condition and airflow to confirm whether add-on cooling will perform effectively in your home before recommending installation.

Our Add-On Cooling Services

Add-On Cooling Installation

Installing add-on cooling requires careful integration with your existing gas ducted heating system and ductwork. Correct system matching and airflow balance are critical – without this, cooling performance can be inconsistent across the home. Our technicians assess compatibility, airflow and system capacity before installing the cooling coil and outdoor compressor unit.

Servicing & Maintenance

Routine servicing helps maintain reliable performance during warmer months. Our technicians inspect key components, test operation and address any issues that may affect cooling performance before peak summer demand.

Add-On Cooling for Commercial Properties

For offices, retail environments and other commercial buildings, add-on cooling offers a practical upgrade to introduce refrigerated air-conditioning without major system changes or major disruption. Our team works efficiently around your operations, with ongoing servicing helping maintain reliable performance and comfort for staff and customers.

Save Up to 40% With Victorian Energy Upgrades

In some cases, add-on cooling systems may be eligible for incentives under the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program if they meet specific efficiency and installation requirements. Our team can explain the available rebate options and help determine whether your property qualifies.

Brands We Work With

We install and service add-on cooling systems from trusted manufacturers including Braemar, Brivis and other leading brands, with all work completed in line with manufacturer requirements to protect warranties.

Woke up to find our ducted heater wasn't working with an error code on the Netcontroller. Turning the heater off and on again didn't resolve the issue so I reached out for recommendations on Facebook. Someone recommended CoreTemp - they'd had a fault with their heater and CoreTemp fixed it straight away. Rang CoreTemp and Alice was extremely helpful, said she had a Technician nearby and would see if he could swing by. Gave her the details of the issue and less than 10 minutes later Alice rang back to say Nathan was on the way. Nathan was very careful and considerate, gave the unit a service, including cleaning the flame sensors, did a reset on the circuit board and then a reset on the Netcontroller panel and the fault cleared and the heater was operational again. All done by midmorning. Excellent report sent through detailing the work done including photos. Highly recommend CoreTemp for their service and professionalism.

This is the second split system bought and installed by CoreTempAustralia. This time my Mum needed to replace a system that had packed up in her home, I rang on Monday morning around 10am and within 15 minutes Emily was at her place. Emily was very informative on which size system was needed for Mum's house and talked Mum through the process. CoreTempAustralia installed the unit on the Friday of the same week and the workmen did a great job, cleaned up after themselves. So my 84 year old Mum was greatly appreciative on the ease of the whole process. Highly recommend CoreTempAustralia.

We recently engaged Core Temp to attended our broken down ducted Air Con. From start to finish they were nothing short of Amazing. They had a quick turn around, were very professional and polite inside our home and had our Air Con back up and running in no time. We could not recommend Core Temps servicing highly enough. Definite 5 Stars.

We replaced our gas heater with a split system and had a great experience from start to finish. The team was professional, friendly, on time, and communication was excellent throughout the process. I had a couple of questions after the installation and really appreciated the prompt and friendly response, including the team coming back twice without hesitation to make sure it’s all done properly. Very happy with the service and would definitely recommend.

FAQs

Not all gas ducted heating systems are compatible with add-on cooling. A technician will assess the heater, ductwork and airflow to determine whether installation is suitable. This ensures the cooling integrates properly with the existing heating setup.

Because add-on cooling uses the existing ductwork and vents, it can often be more cost-effective than installing a completely separate ducted air conditioning system. Installation requirements are typically simpler when the existing infrastructure can be used.

Most add-on cooling installations can be completed within a day, depending on the property layout and the condition of the existing ducted heating system. Larger properties or more complex duct configurations may require additional time.

Yes. When properly sized and installed, add-on cooling distributes refrigerated air through the existing duct network to cool multiple rooms throughout the property. The exact coverage depends on the system capacity and duct design.

No. If the existing gas ducted heating system is compatible, add-on cooling can be installed to provide refrigerated air conditioning without replacing the heater. A technician can confirm compatibility before installation proceeds.
