Split System Installation, Done Properly
A wall-mounted reverse-cycle split system is the fastest way to add efficient heating and cooling to a room — and the quality of the installation matters as much as the unit on the wall. A-Temp has been installing splits in Melbourne homes for over 40 years, and as a volume dealer for the major brands we supply the unit, install it and back it, all under one roof.
Why size and placement matter
An undersized split runs flat-out and struggles on a 40-degree day; an oversized one short-cycles and leaves rooms clammy. Before we quote, we look at the room's size, orientation, glazing and insulation and recommend a capacity that actually suits it — not just the model with the biggest margin. Then we position the indoor head and outdoor unit for airflow, drainage, noise and appearance, keeping pipe runs short and neat.

Multi-splits and whole-home options
Need more than one room covered? A multi-split runs several indoor heads off a single outdoor unit — ideal where outdoor space is tight. If you're heating and cooling most of the house, it's worth comparing a ducted system; our consultants quote both so you can weigh it up on real numbers.
Split System Installation questions, answered
How much does split system installation cost in Melbourne?
A straightforward back-to-back installation (indoor and outdoor units on opposite sides of the same wall) is the most economical. Longer pipe runs, double-storey installs and electrical upgrades add to the price. A-Temp quotes a fixed price after assessing your home, so there are no surprises on the day.
Which split system brand is best?
The right brand depends on the room, your budget and features like WiFi control or quiet operation. A-Temp is a multi-million-dollar Daikin dealer and also installs Mitsubishi Electric, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Haier, Hisense and ActronAir, so our advice starts with your home rather than a single brand's catalogue.
Can you supply and install, or install a unit I've bought?
Both. Most customers choose supply-and-install because our dealer pricing plus one point of warranty responsibility usually beats buying retail. We can also install a unit you've purchased, provided it's new and suited to the space.
How long does installation take?
A standard single split is typically installed and commissioned in half a day. Multi-splits and complex runs can take a full day or more — we confirm the timeframe with your quote.
