The key components of a ducted air conditioning system consist of an indoor and outdoor unit and a range of third-party accessories that help distribute conditioned air throughout a home.
These airside accessories include diffusers (from where air is released into the home), flexible ducts, return air grilles (which act as a filter to remove household dust) and motorised dampers for zoning capabilities.
The indoor unit is concealed out of sight, in your ceiling, with flexible ducting distributing air through vents located throughout the home.
An outdoor unit is positioned in a suitable location outside the home.
