In detail
What A Split System Actually Is
A split system pairs a wall-mounted indoor head with an outdoor condenser, connected by pipework and cabling through the wall. No ducts, no ceiling runs, no roof space required.
Reverse cycle models heat in winter as well as cool in summer. That matters in the hills, where July nights bite hard and a cooling-only unit leaves half the year uncovered.
Local knowledge
Which Homes Suit A Split System
The housing stock decides it more than anything else. This suburb grew in layers, and each layer pulls toward or away from a split system for different reasons.
Original stone cottages.
Post-war brick homes.
Hillside infill.

Common problems
Common Aircon Problems We Fix
Split systems give plenty of warning before they quit. The common faults we see are cheap to fix early and expensive to ignore:
- Not cooling: usually a refrigerant or coil problem, and both are repairable
- Leaking water: a blocked condensate drain, which drips into walls on hillside homes if left
- Blowing warm air: often a reversing valve or control fault
- Making noise: fan bearings and loose mounts, caught during a clean

Good to know
Split System FAQs
How much does a split system installation cost?
Every job is quoted fixed before we start, and the price depends on the unit size, the wall we mount it on and how far the pipework runs to the outdoor condenser, so we price it after seeing your home.
Can a split system heat my home in winter?
Yes, a reverse cycle split system heats as well as cools, which matters in the hills where winter nights are genuinely cold, and one unit doing both jobs usually costs less to run than two separate systems.
How many rooms can one split system cover?
One indoor head conditions the room it sits in and some of the air around it, so open-plan living areas get good coverage, while a multi-head setup or ducted system suits homes wanting every room done.
Do you install split systems in older cottages?
We do, and the pre-war stone cottages around the station end are often where a split system makes the most sense, because solid walls and small roof cavities make ducted runs impractical.
How often should a split system be cleaned?
Once a year before summer is the rule of thumb for this suburb, because the heavy tree cover drops pollen and dust onto outdoor condensers, and a dirty unit works harder and costs more to run.
