Ducted reverse cycle

Whole-home heating and cooling that represents real value

Rinnai ducted reverse cycle is one of our primary options for a whole-home system and for gas to electric conversions under the Victorian Energy Upgrades program. It heats and cools the entire house through ceiling outlets, zoned so you condition the rooms you are using, from an outdoor unit that runs quietly at the side of the house.

It is the system we recommend when a household wants dependable ducted comfort with sensible running costs and a strong support network behind it. Sized correctly and installed with new, properly insulated ductwork, it performs on a frosty Ranges morning and a hot January afternoon alike.

  • Heating and cooling for the whole house from one system
  • Zoned to the rooms you use
  • Eligible for VEU gas to electric upgrades

Built for real roof spaces

An indoor unit that gets into tight roofs

The indoor fan coil of a ducted system has to get through the manhole and into the roof space, and older Ranges homes were not built with that in mind. Rinnai's splittable ducted indoor unit separates into two sections for exactly that reason, which turns a difficult access job into a normal one.

Once it is in, the unit is mounted, connected to new insulated ductwork sized for its airflow, and commissioned with an airflow check at every outlet. The animation shows the unit splitting; the roof-space photograph shows what a finished installation looks like.

Controls

A clear wall controller, and zoning where the home has it

The Rinnai ducted wall controller is a plain, readable unit: mode, temperature, fan speed and a timer. Nothing you need a manual for. We configure it at commissioning and walk you through it before we leave.

Zoning on a Rinnai ducted system is handled separately from this controller, through a zone control system we design in with the ductwork. Bedrooms off during the day, living areas off at night, and the whole house only when you want it: we set the zones around how the home is actually lived in and show you how to run them at handover.

How we zone a home

From Rinnai

Rinnai ducted reverse cycle, in fifteen seconds

Rinnai's own introduction to its ducted system. It plays with sound when you press play and loads nothing until then.

Wall-mounted split systems

A dependable split for the rooms that need one

For a single room, an extension, a home office or a bedroom that the ducted system never quite reached, a Rinnai wall-mounted split is a strong, sensibly priced answer. Quiet indoor unit, simple remote, and a range of capacities so the unit matches the room rather than overwhelming it.

We install them to look like someone thought about it: the indoor unit positioned for airflow across the room, pipework hidden or neatly capped, the outdoor unit on a proper bracket or base with clearance for service, and the condensate drained rather than dripped.

Multi-head split systems

Several rooms from one outdoor unit

A Rinnai multi-head system connects two or more indoor units to a single outdoor unit. It suits homes where ducted is not practical, such as a flat roof, no roof space, or a heritage home where the ceilings must stay untouched, and it keeps the outside of the house to one outdoor unit instead of a row of them.

Each room runs independently, so a bedroom and a living room can be at different temperatures or one can be off. We size the outdoor unit for the rooms it serves and explain when a multi-head is the right answer and when ducted would serve the home better.

Gas ducted heating

Rinnai gas ducted heaters, where gas is still the right answer

Rinnai gas ducted heaters share their technology with Brivis (Brivis is part of the Rinnai group), and they are one of the two brands we recommend when a home's heater is due for replacement and gas remains the sensible choice. External and internal models, zoning, and a controller that is easy to live with.

We service and repair Rinnai heaters of any age. If the controller is showing a code, the Brivis and Rinnai error code guide explains what it means. If the conversation is about leaving gas altogether, that is a Rinnai ducted reverse cycle conversation, and we are happy to have it.

Our relationship with Rinnai

Factory-trained Rinnai dealers who buy direct

We are factory-trained dealers for Rinnai and purchase equipment directly from the manufacturer. That is not a badge on a van. It means dedicated account management, direct technical support, ongoing product training and warranty support from Rinnai itself.

For you it means one phone number. If anything ever needs attention on a Rinnai system we installed, you come back to us and we work with the manufacturer on your behalf. You are never left between a retailer and a helpline.

Rinnai owns Brivis, so the same account, training and support relationship covers Brivis evaporative coolers and gas ducted heaters.

  • Factory-trained on the current Rinnai range
  • Equipment purchased directly from Rinnai
  • Dedicated account management and technical support
  • Warranty support handled through us

Dealer relationship confirmed by Macedon Ranges Gas & Air. We also install, service and repair all major heating and cooling brands.

Two warranties, clearly separated

What Rinnai covers, and what we cover

The equipment carries the manufacturer's warranty. The installation carries ours. They are different things, and your quote and paperwork name both.

Rinnai manufacturer warranty

The equipment carries Rinnai's manufacturer warranty

Rinnai backs its heating and cooling equipment with a manufacturer warranty. The period and conditions differ between ducted, split and gas products and are set by Rinnai, so we confirm the current terms for your system in writing on the quote rather than summarising them here.

  • Applies to the Rinnai equipment
  • Administered by Rinnai; we handle the claim for you
  • Current terms for your system confirmed on your written quote

Specific warranty periods are not stated here until confirmed against Rinnai's current published terms.

Macedon Ranges Gas & Air

9 Year Labour & Workmanship Warranty

It applies to the installation work our own team does. Equipment is covered by the manufacturer's warranty, repairs and servicing carry their own workmanship warranty, and pre-existing or reused components are not covered by the nine years.

  • Covers the installation workmanship of our own in-house team
  • Separate from, and in addition to, the Rinnai equipment warranty
  • Backed by a local team that is still here in year nine

Why our installations perform

What a Rinnai installation by us includes

What a properly designed and installed system includes, and what our quote is built around.

  • Sized for your home, not a rule of thumb

    We size heating and cooling from the home: floor area, ceiling heights, insulation, glazing, orientation and how the rooms are used. An oversized unit short-cycles and an undersized one runs flat out on the coldest and hottest days, which is exactly when you need it.

  • New, correctly insulated ductwork on every ducted reverse cycle installation

    Ducted systems live or die by the ducts. A new ducted reverse cycle installation gets new ductwork, sized for the system's airflow, insulated to the current standard, sealed at every joint and supported so it does not sag or kink in the roof. We do not reuse old gas-heating ductwork for a new ducted reverse cycle system. When a gas ducted heater is replaced like for like, the existing ducts can stay where we have inspected them and they are suitable.

  • Return air and outlets placed for even comfort

    Outlet positions, return-air size and location decide whether the back bedrooms are as comfortable as the living room. We design outlet placement and return air for the floor plan and confirm it with you before installation day.

  • Zoning and sensors where they help

    Zoning lets you heat or cool the rooms you are using. Where a system is zoned we set the zones around how the home is lived in, and place temperature sensors where they read the room rather than a hallway or a draught.

Questions we get asked

Which Rinnai systems do you install?

Rinnai gas ducted heaters, Rinnai ducted reverse cycle systems and Rinnai split and multi-split systems where they suit the home. We recommend a system for your house rather than a catalogue.

Is Rinnai the same company as Brivis?

Brivis is part of the Rinnai group, which is why Brivis and Rinnai heaters share a lot of technology and why our error code guide covers both.

Do you service Rinnai systems you did not install?

Yes. We service and repair Rinnai heating and cooling regardless of who installed it.
