Product Identification
Bonaire Optima 14kW Ducted Reverse Cycle System – CTG140S1AI / CTG140S1AE
Indoor unit: CTG140S1AI |
Outdoor unit: CTG140S1AE |
System type: R32 high-static ducted reverse cycle air conditioner
Bonaire 14kW Ducted System Overview
The Bonaire 14kW ducted system provides central reverse cycle heating and cooling through a concealed indoor fan-coil unit, matching outdoor unit and professionally designed duct network. It combines the CTG140S1AI indoor unit with the CTG140S1AE outdoor unit as one complete matched system.
With 14.0kW rated cooling capacity and 16.5kW rated heating capacity, this system is intended for appropriately sized whole-home applications and larger residential properties. Its higher airflow and capacity can support multiple rooms and zones when the system is correctly selected, designed and installed.
The indoor unit is normally concealed within a suitable ceiling or roof space. Conditioned air travels through insulated ductwork and enters each selected area through ceiling or wall outlets. This provides a clean interior appearance without requiring a visible wall-mounted indoor unit in every room.
The Bonaire Optima ducted range combines inverter technology, a high-efficiency DC motor, external static pressure adjustable up to 200Pa, R32 refrigerant and compatibility with optional Wi-Fi and suitable third-party zoning controls. It also incorporates eco mode, DRED capability and quiet night-mode operation.

Why Choose the Bonaire 14kW Ducted System?
The Bonaire 14kW ducted system is designed for homeowners who want powerful, discreet climate control across several rooms or residential zones. The concealed installation keeps most equipment and ductwork out of sight while conditioned air is distributed through purpose-positioned outlets.
When combined with a suitable zoning system, occupants may be able to select which areas receive heating or cooling. This can provide greater flexibility than operating every area continuously. The installer must ensure that the zoning design maintains the minimum airflow required by the system.
Inverter technology allows the compressor to alter its output as demand changes. The published cooling range is approximately 4.1kW to 17.8kW, while the heating operating range is approximately 6.0kW to 19.2kW.
The system can therefore respond to factors such as outdoor temperature, active zones and household occupancy. Actual performance and energy consumption depend on the property, system design, installation quality, selected temperature and operating patterns.
Key Features
Powerful Whole-Home Comfort
The system provides 14.0kW rated cooling and 16.5kW rated heating for suitable larger residential applications.
High-Static Airflow
The Sirocco turbine fan design supports external static pressure adjustment up to 200Pa, helping move conditioned air through professionally designed ductwork.
High Airflow Capacity
The indoor unit provides airflow settings of approximately 1,120, 950 and 780 litres per second to support suitable larger duct networks.
DC Motor and Inverter Design
The high-efficiency DC indoor fan motor and inverter compressor allow the system to adjust operation according to changing heating and cooling requirements.
Optional Wi-Fi Integration
A compatible optional Wi-Fi controller can provide remote-control functionality. Wi-Fi equipment is not described as a standard inclusion and should be confirmed in the quotation.
Zoning Controller Compatibility
The system can integrate with suitable third-party zoning controllers. Zone motors, dampers, sensors and smart-control equipment may be separately supplied.
Flexible Modular Design
The modular indoor-unit configuration supports installation flexibility in suitable roof spaces. Access, structural support, clearances and future service access must be considered.
R32 Refrigerant
The system uses R32 refrigerant. Installation, commissioning and refrigerant handling must be completed by an appropriately licensed air conditioning professional.
Eco Mode and DRED Capability
Eco mode supports more economical operation, while DRED compatibility allows the system to participate in supported demand-response arrangements when correctly connected.
Quiet Night Mode
Quiet night mode reduces outdoor-unit operating noise when quieter operation is preferred. Actual sound levels depend on installation and operating conditions.
Industry-Leading 7-Year Warranty
Bonaire promotes a seven-year parts and labour warranty for eligible ducted reverse cycle systems. Warranty eligibility may depend on professional installation, registration, proof of purchase, servicing requirements and compliance with Bonaire’s current conditions. Retain all purchase, installation and maintenance documentation.
Ideal Applications
- Medium-to-large whole-home applications
- Larger single-storey houses with suitable roof space
- Homes containing multiple bedrooms and living areas
- New residential construction
- Major renovations and system replacements
- Properties requiring multiple conditioned zones
- Homes where concealed indoor equipment is preferred
The Bonaire 14kW ducted system must be selected through a professional heat-load assessment. Floor area alone cannot determine suitability. Insulation, windows, ceiling height, orientation, occupancy, outdoor conditions and duct losses must be considered.
