Split system air conditioners are the ultimate heating and cooling solution. They come in a vast range of designs and capabilities to suit many different applications. Wall-mounted split system air conditioners are the most recognised version, consisting of two parts: the indoor unit (evaporative fan coils) and the outdoor unit (condensing unit).

When cooling, the warm air from inside is taken from the indoor unit and removed, which recirculates cool air back indoors. The reverse cycle allows for a heat pump to run in reverse and provide heating for the cooler months. The simplicity of this design makes split system air conditioning installation in Melbourne a popular choice for homes and apartments.

The split system installation cost is determined by the size of the unit installed:

• 0.0kw – 3.9kw: $800 inc GST
• 4.0kw – 5.9kw: $900 inc GST
• 6.0kw – 7.9kw: $1000 inc GST
• 8.0kw – 9.9kw: $1100 inc GST

*Standard installation (back to back) is where the outdoor unit (condenser) is positioned directly behind the indoor unit (evaporator) on plastic feet on the ground.
