Split System Air Conditioning Installation In Melbourne
Blunt’s Electrical coordinates split system air conditioning installation in Melbourne, including clean placement, compliant electrical work, dedicated circuits, outdoor isolators where required, and commissioning by a licensed refrigeration mechanic.
A good split system installation comes down to neat placement, correct electrical protection, clean pipework, suitable drainage and proper commissioning.
Service areas:
We service most Melbourne suburbs including Richmond, Kew, Hawthorn, Abbotsford, South Yarra, Balwyn, Fitzroy, Collingwood, Burwood, Toorak, Camberwell, Glen Iris & many more.
Split Systems Installed Properly
A split system should be sized properly, positioned sensibly, wired safely and commissioned correctly. We help with single split and multi-split installations for bedrooms, living areas, apartments, townhouses and small offices.
We can install customer-supplied units, or help arrange a suitable unit as part of the installation. Where required, we can also complete the electrical side, including circuit protection, isolator installation and switchboard upgrades.
Split System Options We Install
Single Split Systems
One indoor and one outdoor unit for bedrooms, living rooms and offices.
Multi-Split Systems
One outdoor unit with multiple indoor heads where suitable.
Electrical Works
Dedicated circuits, outdoor isolators, cabling and suitable protection.
Wi-Fi Setup
App setup, timers, schedules and simple handover where supported.
Our Installation Process
Assess the site — indoor location, outdoor unit position, drainage, access and power requirements
Confirm the scope — including any long pipe runs, brackets, difficult access or electrical upgrades
Install indoor and outdoor units — secure mounting, clean placement and practical positioning
Complete electrical works — circuit, isolator and protection where required
Commission the system — evacuation, testing and final setup by a licensed refrigeration mechanic
Run-up and handover — modes, filters, remote control and basic maintenance explained
Customer-Supplied Or Supply And Install
If you already have a split system, we can install it provided it is suitable for the room and the site conditions.
If you want supply and install, we can help recommend a suitable Daikin or Mitsubishi model based on room size, ceiling height, glazing, insulation and sun exposure.
Approximate Sizing Guide
Up to 15 m² — around 2.0 to 2.5 kW for bedrooms or small offices
15 to 25 m² — around 3.2 to 3.5 kW for larger bedrooms or small living areas
25 to 35 m² — around 4.6 to 5.0 kW for medium living areas
35 to 50 m² — around 6.0 to 7.1 kW+ for larger open-plan spaces
Actual sizing depends on insulation, windows, ceiling height, room layout and sun exposure. We’ll confirm what is suitable before installation.
Important Things To Know
Back-to-back installs are usually the simplest and most straightforward.
Longer pipe runs or difficult access can affect the installation scope.
Some installs require extra electrical work such as a dedicated circuit, RCBO protection or switchboard upgrade.
Outdoor unit placement matters for airflow, noise, access and neighbour considerations.
