What is a ducted dual split air conditioner?

The ducted dual split connects two ducted indoor units, hidden in the false ceiling, to a single outdoor motor. Unlike cassette units, here almost nothing of the system is visible: the air is distributed into the room through ducts and supply and return vents, leaving only discreet grilles on show. It is the choice for anyone who wants to air-condition two zones with the cleanest possible look, because the unit disappears completely above the false ceiling.

When an invisible system makes sense

The ducted solution is ideal where looks are an absolute priority, such as high-end homes, professional offices, hotels and waiting rooms. By distributing air through ducts, you can serve irregularly shaped or very elongated rooms, placing the vents exactly where they are really needed. With the dual split you get two independent ducted units, one per zone, fed by a single outdoor unit.

  • Fully hidden system, with only grilles on show.
  • Flexible air distribution, suited to long or irregular rooms.
  • Quiet operation, because the indoor motor is isolated in the false ceiling.

How many BTU do your two zones need?

The capacity must be sized for each zone, considering the square metres, the room height, the insulation and the number of vents. In the dual split you can pair two differently sized units, a more powerful one for the living area and a smaller one for the sleeping area. For larger coverage or three separate zones, consider the multisplit configurator, while for a single ducted zone you will find all the units in the dedicated family of ducted air conditioners.

The best brands available

The catalogue has 39 models, all ready to ship, from the most reliable manufacturers with official warranty and available spare parts: Hisense, TCL, Daikin, LG, Mitsubishi Electric, OneClima, Fujitsu, Gree and Panasonic. Prices start at around 1023 euros and go up to 4485 euros for the most powerful configurations.

Consumption and energy class

Cooling efficiency is measured with the SEER value and heating efficiency with the SCOP: the higher they are, the lower the consumption. In ducted units, inverter technology modulates the power continuously and maintains the temperature without swings, an advantage in large spaces where the system runs for a long time. A good energy class ensures consistent comfort and lower bills all year round.

Installation and design

The ducted dual split requires careful design of the ducts and vents and a false ceiling with enough space to house the two units and the piping. Installation is more involved than other solutions, because it must be planned during the renovation or construction of the false ceiling. That is why it is best to rely on experienced technicians. On ClimaConvenienza you will find dedicated support and often promotions with installation included or discounted.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a ducted dual split and a cassette one?
In the ducted version the two units are completely hidden in the false ceiling and the air arrives through ducts and vents, leaving only discreet grilles on show. In the cassette version the units stay visible on the ceiling and blow air directly across four sides. The ducted version wins on looks, the cassette on ease of installation.
Is the system really invisible?
Almost entirely. The ducted units sit above the false ceiling and only the supply and return air grilles appear in the room. It is the preferred solution where looks matter, such as high-end homes, offices and hotels.
Can I air-condition two different zones with a single motor?
Yes. The dual split connects two independent ducted units to a single outdoor motor, so you cover two separate zones, for example the living area and the sleeping area, with a single outdoor unit and less bulk.
Do I need a false ceiling to install the ducted units?
Yes, you need a false ceiling with enough space to house the units, the ducts and the piping. The system is usually planned during the renovation or construction of the false ceiling. If you do not have this space, you can consider the cassette dual split or wall-mounted solutions.
Are the ducted units quiet?
Yes, they are among the quietest solutions because the body of the unit is isolated above the false ceiling and only the airflow from the vents reaches the room. With good duct design, the perceived noise stays very low.
How much does a ducted dual split cost?
In our catalogue prices start at around 1023 euros and go up to 4485 euros, depending on the brands, the BTU capacity of the two units and the energy class. All models are ready to ship.
