About Temperzone
Temperzone was founded by Eric Kendall in New Zealand in 1956 and remains a privately owned, family-linked business today. The company expanded into Australia through the 1985 acquisition of Bradway Engineering, and now describes itself as the largest air conditioning manufacturer in Australia and New Zealand, employing more than 500 people and manufacturing locally in both countries — one of only a handful of remaining local manufacturers in this category rather than a purely import-based brand.
Temperzone's own-brand range is distinct from its separate role as the exclusive Australian distributor of Hitachi air conditioners (an arrangement in place since 2009); this page covers Temperzone as a manufacturer and brand in its own right. Voltas installs and services Temperzone systems as part of our regular multi-brand work across Adelaide — we are not an authorised Temperzone dealer.
Temperzone Air Conditioners: Background & Adelaide-Relevant Range
Temperzone's own-brand product focus sits more heavily on split-ducted and light-commercial equipment than on simple single-room wall splits, reflecting its long history supplying trade and commercial installers across Australia and New Zealand. Because Temperzone manufactures locally rather than relying solely on imported product, lead times and local engineering support for its core split-ducted range can be a point of difference compared with purely import-distributed brands.
The current Adelaide-relevant range includes R32 split-ducted systems (branded ISD/OSA), R32 multi-split systems, air-cooled and water-cooled rooftop package units for commercial applications, and the Magnus heat pump range. Temperzone's product line-up leans toward installers and trade buyers fitting out ducted systems for homes and light-commercial premises, rather than retail-facing single wall-split purchases, so it's most commonly specified through a trade contractor like Voltas rather than bought off a shelf.

Temperzone's own-brand range centres on split-ducted and light-commercial equipment — the right choice depends on whether you need whole-home ducted coverage, a multi-room multi-split set-up, or commercial-grade rooftop packaged cooling.
R32 Split-Ducted Systems (ISD/OSA)
Temperzone's core ducted range for whole-home and light-commercial applications, using current-generation R32 refrigerant.
R32 Multi-Split Systems
One outdoor unit feeding multiple indoor units, suited to multi-room homes wanting individually zoned control without a full ducted retrofit.
Air-Cooled & Water-Cooled Package Units
Rooftop and packaged commercial units (OPA/VPA/HWP/CWP ranges) aimed at light-commercial and larger-scale applications.
Magnus Heat Pump Range
Purpose-built heat pump equipment sitting alongside Temperzone's core cooling range.
Temperzone tends to suit Adelaide homeowners and trade buyers after a locally manufactured ducted system, property owners wanting an alternative to the handful of dominant import brands, and light-commercial premises needing rooftop packaged cooling. Because the range is trade-oriented rather than retail-facing, it's best explored through a conversation with an installer like Voltas about layout, zoning and capacity before locking in a model.
Temperzone vs Other Brands — Which Is Better, and Why
Independent Australian HVAC commentary generally credits Temperzone with strong local manufacturing scale and a solid reputation in ducted and light-commercial applications. Here's how it's commonly compared against two other brands we also install.
ActronAir
Both Temperzone and ActronAir manufacture within Australia and New Zealand (rather than relying purely on imported product) and both focus heavily on ducted systems suited to local conditions, making them a natural like-for-like comparison for Adelaide ducted retrofits.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries brings a longer global commercial HVAC engineering pedigree, while Temperzone's local manufacturing base can mean more responsive parts and technical support within Australia and New Zealand for its own-brand range — both are worth comparing for larger or commercial-grade projects.
These are general, independently-sourced market positions, not a single definitive verdict — the right brand for your property depends on your budget, room layout, noise sensitivity, and whether you need a split system or ducted comfort. A Voltas property audit (below) gives you a specific recommendation rather than a generic one.

General HVAC maintenance knowledge applies to Temperzone systems just as it does to any brand — here's what we see most often, plus a few brand-specific notes.
- Reduced airflow or cooling usually traced to a dirty filter or outdoor coil — the single most common and most preventable service call across every brand, including Temperzone's split-ducted range.
- Zone damper or ducting faults as a ducted-focused brand, Temperzone systems can develop the same zone motor or ducting faults seen across any ducted installation, regardless of brand.
- Commercial package unit servicing Temperzone's rooftop package units require the same scheduled commercial maintenance regime as any comparable packaged system to maintain warranty compliance and performance.
- Compressor and component faults on older units as with any brand, older Temperzone systems approaching or past a decade of continuous use are more likely to need component-level repair; local manufacturing can help with parts sourcing in some cases.
- Coastal corrosion on outdoor units applies to Temperzone as it does to any brand installed in coastal Adelaide suburbs — regular rinsing and coil inspection reduces long-term corrosion risk.
A routine service on a Temperzone split-ducted system typically takes 60–90 minutes depending on the number of zones, broadly in line with other ducted brands. We recommend annual servicing for residential systems and more frequent scheduled maintenance for commercial package units.
Not Sure Temperzone Is Right for You? Book a Voltas Property Audit
Brand choice is only half the decision — sizing, placement, and ductwork design usually matter more to your actual comfort and running costs than the badge on the unit.
1. On-Site Assessment
We measure room sizes, window orientation, insulation, ceiling access, and existing electrical capacity — the real inputs that determine what capacity and system type will actually perform well.
2. Load & Capacity Calculation
Rather than guessing a kW figure, we calculate the cooling/heating load your specific rooms need, so you're not paying for an oversized system or stuck with an undersized one that runs constantly.
3. Brand & Model Shortlist
Based on your budget, noise tolerance, property type, and whether Temperzone or another brand genuinely suits the job better, we shortlist two or three realistic options — with honest trade-offs explained.
4. Fixed, Itemised Quote
You get a clear price for supply and installation before anything is booked in — no surprise costs, no pressure to commit on the spot.

Book Your Free Property AuditTemperzone Warranty, Standards & What to Check Before You Buy
What Temperzone's own Australian warranty documentation states, so you can weigh it up before buying.
Warranty
Temperzone's published Australian warranty schedule sets out different terms by product line: standard split-ducted systems (ISD/OSA) under 28kW are listed at 5 years parts and labour, while larger split-ducted units over 28kW, air-cooled and water-cooled package units, and the Magnus heat pump range carry shorter terms (commonly 1–2 years parts and labour) depending on model and application. Because Temperzone's current published terms note that coverage varies by model and application type, and warranty documentation is periodically updated, we'd recommend confirming the exact current warranty period for your specific model directly with Temperzone or its Australian customer care team before purchase.
Refrigerant
Temperzone's current split-ducted and multi-split range uses R32 refrigerant, in line with most of the industry's shift away from R410A. Australia's HFC import phase-down, administered by DCCEEW under the Ozone Protection and Synthetic Greenhouse Gas Management Act, progressively reduces the pool of bulk HFC gas permitted to be imported through to 2036; this affects bulk refrigerant gas used for servicing and top-ups of older R410A systems industry-wide, but does not restrict the sale or use of pre-charged R32 equipment such as Temperzone's current range.
Australian Standards
Every installation must comply with AS/NZS 3000 (the Wiring Rules) and is completed by our A-Class electricians and licensed HVAC technicians. Energy performance is labelled under the Australian Government's GEMS Zoned Energy Rating scheme — check the specific model's current label for its star rating in your climate zone before buying.
