Shoalhaven's split system air conditioning experts

Quiet, efficient heating and cooling for bedrooms, living areas and offices. We install, repair and maintain all major brands.

The Basics

What is a split system?

A split system has two components connected by copper refrigerant piping and electrical wiring:

  1. Outdoor unit — houses the inverter compressor and condenser coil, positioned outside near the room being conditioned.
  2. Indoor unit — a sleek wall-mounted head unit with the cooling coil, blower and air filter.

Control it from a remote or your phone — temperature, fan speed, timers and airflow direction. Modern inverter technology automatically adjusts output to hold your set temperature, saving the energy wasted by constant start-stop cycling.

Why Split

Why choose a split system?

  • Quiet operation — the noisy parts (compressor and fan) live outside
  • Easy installation — no ductwork required, most installs done in a day
  • Energy efficient — smart sensors minimise peak power consumption
  • Cost-effective — long-term energy savings make it an economical choice
  • Expandable — grow into a multi-split system with extra indoor units later

FAQs

Split system air conditioning — your questions answered

What size split system do I need?

Capacity is measured in kilowatts, and it comes down to the room's floor area, ceiling height, insulation, window size and which way it faces. As a rough guide a small bedroom needs around 2.5 kW and a large open-plan living area can need 7 kW or more, but an undersized unit runs flat out and an oversized one short-cycles. We measure and size it properly on-site.

How long does a split system installation take?

A straightforward back-to-back install (indoor and outdoor unit on either side of the same wall) takes three to four hours. Most installs are finished within half a day; longer pipe runs, wall brackets or roof mounting can take a little longer.

Where should the outdoor unit go?

As close to the indoor unit as practical, on a solid wall bracket or condenser feet, with clear airflow around it and away from bedroom windows and your neighbours. We'll recommend the best spot for performance, noise and looks, and we tidy the pipework in a cover so it doesn't stand out.

Can one outdoor unit run more than one room?

Yes. A multi-split system runs two to five indoor units from a single outdoor unit, which is ideal when you want several rooms conditioned but don't have the space or the budget for ducted. We install multi-split systems from all six of the brands we carry.

How often should a split system be serviced?

Clean the filters yourself every few months and book a professional service once a year. A clean, well-tuned unit uses less power, lasts longer and keeps the air in the room healthy.
