Split System Air Conditioner Installation Services

What is a Split System Air Conditioner?

A split system air conditioner is an HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) unit that has two parts and performs two functions for your home. The indoor unit delivers conditioned air while the outdoor unit handles heat exchange, meaning that in all seasons it ensures the temperature of your home is just right.

A well-planned split system installation gives precise climate control by comprising two components: an indoor wall-mounted unit to circulate air and an outdoor compressor unit to release heat. The two units are connected with refrigerant piping and electrical wiring, allowing for temperature control without bulky ducting.

The benefits of split system air-conditioning are clear. The systems are quiet, you can control the temperature of individual rooms with ease and the whole setup is designed with energy efficiency in mind. They are suitable for new builds and older homes looking to update their existing AC.

Benefits of Professional Installation

Correctly installing a system affects its efficiency, performance and even the validity of its warranty. When choosing a professional, you should check their certification in line with Australian standards to ensure that your system will run smoothly and efficiently.

Qualified professionals should ensure:

• Correct placement of the indoor unit to maintain good air flow.
• Safe mounting of both indoor and outdoor units, including safe electrical connections.
• Well-sealed refrigerant piping, tested for any possible leaks.
• Outdoor unit placed correctly with adequate clearance and vibration control.

When to Replace an Old Split System

Modern split-system air conditioners operate quietly, providing better air filtration and lower running costs than older models. But if you've had your system a while, how will you know when it's time for split system replacement?

An outdated system will first and foremost begin to break down more frequently, requiring expensive repairs with hard-to-source old parts. You may notice poor heating or cooling performance, leading to discomfort in your home. Your energy bills may be creeping up, or you may notice the system working more loudly and with unusual odours.

Replacing a split system air conditioner is a fairly quick process and minimally disruptive to your home. We aim to use existing electrical connections wherever possible and minimise upheaval and damage during installation.
