Need Your Split System Air Conditioner Installed?

Split system air conditioner installation is carried out by a licensed professional and involves mounting the indoor and outdoor units, drilling a wall opening for refrigerant lines and cabling, and connecting all components to ensure safe, efficient operation. For a standard setup, installation typically takes around half a day, with costs varying based on complexity but often starting from $600. Key steps include installing mounting brackets, creating the wall penetration, running and securing the refrigerant lines, positioning the units, and connecting the condenser and electrical wiring while meeting safety requirements and preserving the manufacturer’s warranty.

Finding the right team to install your new split system matters as much as choosing the unit itself. Poor installation voids warranties and creates years of headaches - we’ve fixed enough botched jobs to know. At Lexity, every installation reflects our founding principle: treat each home with exceptional care. When Kieren started this company after his own installation nightmare with a crying newborn, he promised every customer would receive better.

Our dual-licensed team (REC 26011, Plumbing Licence 111639) handles complete installations without juggling contractors. We arrive with boot covers, protect your walls during drilling, and leave your home spotless. Our end-to-end aircon installation services ensure a seamless process. Fixed upfront pricing means no bill shock, while our Lifetime Workmanship Guarantee provides lasting peace of mind.

Making the Smart Choice

Why Do A Split System Over Ducted?

Split systems offer targeted comfort without major construction, perfect for Melbourne’s diverse housing. Unlike ducted systems requiring ceiling space and extensive installation, splits mount elegantly on walls delivering immediate results. Here’s a detailed cost comparison between ducted and split systems, so you can make an informed decision.

Budget-conscious families appreciate split systems’ lower upfront costs - typically 60% less than comparable ducted installations. You cool rooms as needed rather than entire homes, slashing running costs. Installation takes hours not days, with minimal disruption to your routine. Renters can take systems when moving (with owner permission). Modern units operate whisper-quiet while offering advanced features like WiFi control and air purification. For many Melbourne homes, especially heritage properties or apartments where ducted isn’t feasible, split systems deliver superior value. We’ll assess your specific needs, but increasingly, savvy homeowners choose splits for flexibility and efficiency.
