Split System Air Conditioning in Melbourne

Professional electrical installation for all split system brands — single, multi and ducted configurations. We handle the power, the isolation and the switch wiring for a clean, compliant setup.

Single & Multi-Split Systems

A split system air conditioner needs a dedicated electrical circuit with an approved isolator switch within sight of the outdoor unit. We install the full electrical connection from switchboard to wall outlet, including the isolation point the installer requires.

Multi-split systems (two or more indoor units on one outdoor unit) need careful load assessment and circuit planning. We ensure your switchboard can handle the combined draw before installation begins.

What We Handle

We provide the complete electrical side of your split system install:

  • Dedicated power circuit – new circuit from switchboard to wall outlet point
  • Isolator switch – mandatory disconnection point within sight of the outdoor unit
  • Switch wiring – wall switch or ceiling rose wired for thermostat or remote control
  • Switchboard assessment – load check to confirm your board can handle the additional draw
  • Compliance certification – all work tested and certified to AS/NZS 3000

Energy Efficiency & Star Ratings

Modern split systems are remarkably efficient. When choosing a unit, look for the energy star rating — higher is better. A 5-star rated system can use up to 50% less electricity than a 2-star model for the same cooling output.

We can advise on the right capacity for your space — oversized units cycle on and off wastefully, while undersized units run constantly and struggle to reach comfort temperature.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a new circuit for my split system?
Yes — split systems must be on a dedicated circuit with an isolator switch. They cannot share a circuit with other appliances. We install this from your switchboard to the wall outlet point near the indoor unit.
Will my switchboard handle a new split system?
Most modern boards can, but we assess the existing load first. If your board is near capacity, we may recommend a switchboard upgrade before adding the new circuit.
How much does electrical installation cost?
Cost depends on circuit length, switchboard access and the number of outlets needed. Contact us for a free, fixed-price quote.
