Ducted Air Conditioning
Whole-house ducted systems with rigid and flexible ductwork, supplied, installed and maintained.
Matches the size of Hodgson Vale homes, which averaged 4.1 bedrooms in 2021.
Air conditioning sized for the large family homes on Toowoomba's southern fringe, along the New England Highway.
Hodgson Vale is 12 kilometres south of the Toowoomba city centre via the New England Highway, and its homes average 4.1 bedrooms each, according to the 2021 Census. Heating and cooling that much floor space is a job for a well-chosen, well-maintained system. Care Technical Services has supplied, installed and serviced air conditioning in the Toowoomba area since 1979, and we come to you.
Hodgson Vale
The bigger the home, the more a poorly matched air conditioner costs, both to run and in the rooms it never quite reaches. In Hodgson Vale we are usually choosing between a ducted system with rigid or flexible ductwork and a multi split system with an indoor unit in each main room, and sometimes adding a single split system or Temprite unit where neither fits. We supply, install and maintain all of them. Just as important is what happens after installation: regular servicing picks up issues early, before a small fault becomes a breakdown in the middle of a warm spell.
Hodgson Vale has some of the largest homes in our service area. At the 2021 Census, 81.7% of its dwellings had four or more bedrooms and the average was 4.1 bedrooms per dwelling, against 3.3 for the Toowoomba local government area. Homes like these need a system planned around the floor plan, not picked off a shelf, and that planning comes from a business that has been working on Toowoomba homes since 1979.
Whole-house ducted systems with rigid and flexible ductwork, supplied, installed and maintained.
Matches the size of Hodgson Vale homes, which averaged 4.1 bedrooms in 2021.
Several indoor units on one outdoor unit, with each room controlled on its own.
An alternative to ducted when a family wants room-by-room control.
Filters, outlets, coils, drains and components inspected, cleaned and tested on a regular schedule.
Large ducted systems have more to maintain, so a schedule pays off sooner.
Clogged filters, dead thermostats, leaks, clogged drains, broken breakers or fuses and corroded evaporator coils.
Uneven temperatures between rooms are often the first sign we investigate.
Single split systems for a living area, study or bedroom.
Useful for a room added to the house after the main system went in.
The dedicated circuit, isolator and switchboard capacity a large system requires.
Checked before a ducted install, so the switchboard can carry the new load.
Hodgson Vale is a rural locality of 1,444 people at the 2021 Census. Its households are mostly families, with 55.3% of families being couples with children and an average of 3.1 people per household, and 99.6% of its 450 occupied private dwellings were separate houses. Hodgson Creek rises just to the north in Top Camp and flows south-west through the locality towards Cambooya.
In a four-bedroom family home, ducted systems give even coverage from one controller, while multi split systems let each room run on its own. Large ducted systems have more ductwork, more outlets and bigger filters to keep clean, so servicing them on a schedule matters more than for a single wall unit. We check the unit, the filters and the airflow at the outlets, because that is where a loss of performance usually shows first.
At Toowoomba Airport the Bureau of Meteorology records a mean December maximum of 27.7°C and a mean June minimum of 7.5°C. Large homes in Hodgson Vale call on their systems for both, so we service with heating and cooling in mind.

A ducted system can cover a large home from one outdoor unit, provided it is sized and laid out correctly. We assess the home before recommending a system and quote before any work proceeds.
Common causes are dirty filters, blocked or damaged ductwork, poorly placed outlets or a fault in the system. We check the airflow at each outlet and the unit itself to find the cause.
We inspect and clean filters, check the coils and drains, test electrical components such as capacitors and contactors, and confirm the system is heating and cooling properly.
Often, yes, usually with a separate split system or by moving to a multi split system. We look at the existing system and explain the options.

Hodgson Vale is believed to be named for Sir Arthur Hodgson, the pioneer who in July 1840 selected the Eton Vale pastoral run, the second pastoral run selected in present-day Queensland. Hodgsons Vale Provisional School opened in 1906, became a state school in 1909 and closed in 1960, and the locality's children now attend schools in neighbouring Vale View and Ramsay and in Toowoomba. The population grew from 1,379 at the 2016 census to 1,444 in 2021.
