Split System Air Conditioning

The most popular air conditioning choice for Australian homes and offices. Energy efficient, quiet and easy to install.

What is a Split System?

A split system air conditioner consists of two units: an indoor unit mounted on your wall and an outdoor unit (compressor) installed outside. They are connected by refrigerant piping and electrical cabling.

Split systems are the most popular type of air conditioner in Australia because they are affordable, energy efficient and relatively simple to install. They are ideal for cooling (and heating, with reverse-cycle models) individual rooms or open-plan living areas.

Benefits of Split Systems

Energy Efficient

Inverter technology adjusts compressor speed to match demand, reducing power consumption by up to 30% compared to non-inverter models.

Quiet Operation

Modern split systems operate at as low as 19dB indoors, quieter than a whisper. Perfect for bedrooms and offices.

Easy Installation

Standard back-to-back installations can be completed in a few hours with minimal disruption to your home.

Heating and Cooling

Reverse-cycle models provide both heating and cooling from a single unit, making them one of the most cost-effective year-round comfort solutions.

Choosing the Right Size

Choosing the correct kW capacity is critical. An undersized unit will struggle to cool your room and run up your power bills. An oversized unit will cycle on and off too frequently, reducing efficiency and comfort.

How often should I service my split system?
We recommend servicing your split system at least once a year. Regular cleaning of filters (every 2-4 weeks during heavy use) and an annual professional service will keep your unit running efficiently and extend its lifespan.
What brands of split systems do you carry?
We carry split systems from all leading Australian brands including Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Samsung, LG, Hitachi, Haier, Actron Air and more.
Can a split system heat as well as cool?
Yes. Most modern split systems are reverse-cycle, meaning they provide both heating and cooling. This makes them one of the most energy-efficient heating options available, especially in mild to moderate climates.
