if u can push your bucks further, i will definitely recommend daikin, else fujitsu is really good too....not sure if panasonic does ducted system.....you'll realise that if you are running an inverter on heater is a lot cheaper than running gas heater or even electric heater........... my gas and electricity bill gone down alot ( i mean lots and lots) changing from running electric heater and gas heater to just inverter heater.....it of course doesn't give you the same heating as gas heater but it's rather close.....

Evap is a waste of time and money better having nothing. just spend the bit extra and do it right the first time.

I have a Ducted Reverse Cycle Dakin, 12 outlets i think it was and dual lcd controllers one upstairs and one dowstairs.

excellent unit cant rmemeber the power out put but it does very well,

1+ for evap air conditioning. Dont do what everyone says and have doors and windows open. just have one open enough to not have air whistling out of the house and they work great.

Evaps can also make you sick if you dont clean them yearly, the big units on the roof look shit also. I have had evap not by choice but was with a house i once bought.
and just usless we blocked it off and put in split units at the time.

We have ducted reverse cycle on a 3 phrase electrical board.

It is a LG unit big fucker but does the job really well. We have had it for 3+ years with no drama.

Ill give you a number when i get home mate to contact them. They did a good job on my house which involved installing ducts and talking with builder during construction becuase it was two 2 story and needed penertrations into the slab etc.
all came out great. And price was good I got quoted 16k got them down to 13k and then at the end i gave them cash and got it for 11k. so i was stoked.

Ill find number when i get home Im sitting in hotel lobby in KL waiting for taxi to head to airport haha holiday over

Havent got one yet but looked into this for our home being built......
Go for ducted reverse cycle, no question there.

Most places will focus on selling 1, 2 maybe 3 brands Daikin, Fujitsu and LG. Daikin is the best but imo with LG you can get more bang for your buck i.e. more KW and outlets. Brands like Daikin are somewhat more flexible with zone control. Each brand has its pros and cons and across brands are different. Decide what you want, what would be efficient and over efficient for your home then pick two reputable companies and get as much of the goodies (lcd panels, remotes, more zones) and take whichever delivers at the right price.

If you know someone then nuff said, you laughing.

I will be going with ducted reverse cycle LG 18KW, bang for the buck.

Another one to consider is Actron Aust made and owned. A bit more expensive than the others.Mainly commercial but have a range of domestic ducted units.
Certain Daiken/Fujitsu models can be noisey from what I have read and heard.

I am getting a few quotes once I have them I will post on here for people to see.

I just went and saw the guys at Ford and Doonan they charge like a wounded bull. I can get the same fujitsu system for 5k less but I guess you get what you pay for.
