    Air Con - Is it again a landlord's responsibility?

    FWIW, I've heard so many bad stories about ducted systems, and personally (having had both), I don't think the ducted systems cool well enough, and you don't have as much flexibility as to which areas you cool/heat. Plus, as you've discovered, ducting problems are a nightmare to fix due to...

    Air Con - Is it again a landlord's responsibility?
