How much does it cost to install a split system?

By South West Tech

The cost to install a split system air conditioner depends on several factors, including the size of the unit, the complexity of the installation, your home's layout, and whether any additional electrical work is required.

Across Australia, supplied and installed split systems commonly range from around $2,000 to over $4,000, while larger systems or more complex installations can cost considerably more.

Factors such as longer pipe runs, difficult access, double-storey homes, switchboard upgrades, or premium air conditioner brands can all affect the final price.

Because every installation is different, there's no single cost that's right for every home.

What Affects the Installation Cost?

When comparing installation quotes, it's important to consider:

• The size (kW) of the air conditioner.

• Whether it's a new installation or replacing an existing unit.

• The distance between the indoor and outdoor units.

• Ease of access to both units.

• Whether additional electrical work is required.

• The air conditioner brand and model.

• Any extra pipework, drainage or mounting requirements.

Comparing what's included in each quote is just as important as comparing the price itself.
