A split system is the fastest, cleanest way to add reverse-cycle heating and cooling to one room. In Canberra's climate a modern inverter split with a high HSPF rating will heat a bedroom through a −5°C winter morning at a fraction of the cost of a plug-in heater.

We install 5–10 split systems every week across the ACT. That means we can usually book you within 5–7 business days, with same-day installation for stocked units.

What's included

  • Free onsite quote (fixed price)
  • Supply-and-install of any major brand
  • Install-only if you've already purchased the unit
  • Wall, floor and bulkhead-mounted indoor units
  • Colour-matched external ducting so pipework blends in
  • Electrical connection by an ACT-licensed electrician

Why choose us

Efficient in Canberra winters

A modern inverter split will heat down to −15°C outside — most 'cheap' electric heaters can't compete on running cost.

Zoned by design

Only the rooms you're using are conditioned. Great for shift-workers, home offices, and nurseries.

Quiet operation

Modern units run at 19–22 dBA on the lowest fan speed — quieter than a whisper.

Neat finish, every time

Wall penetrations sealed, pipework in colour-matched duct, cable tied and labelled.

How it works

  1. 1. Choose the right size

    We recommend a size in kW based on room volume, glazing, and orientation — not floor area alone.

  2. 2. Quote & schedule

    Fixed-price quote, install typically booked within a week.

  3. 3. Install day (half-day)

    Indoor + outdoor unit installed, pressure tested, vacuum, gas-charged, commissioned.

  4. 4. Walk-through

    We show you how to use the controller and the Wi-Fi app if fitted.

What Canberra customers say

"Replaced our old gas ducted with a Daikin reverse cycle system — bill's dropped and the house is warmer. Neat install, on time, on budget."

Sarah, Belconnen

"Emergency repair on a 39°C day. Diagnosed the failed capacitor in 20 minutes and had cool air back within an hour. Fair price too."

Michael, Kingston

"Second install with these guys. Multi-split across three bedrooms. Tidy pipework, fantastic communication start to finish."

Jodie, Gungahlin

Frequently asked questions

As a rule of thumb: 2.5 kW for a bedroom, 3.5 kW for a large bedroom, 5–6 kW for open-plan living, 7–9 kW for large living areas with high ceilings or lots of glass. We'll size precisely on the quote visit.

No. In Australia, refrigerant work must be carried out by an ARCtick-licensed technician. Self-install invalidates the manufacturer's warranty and is illegal.

South or east walls are ideal — shaded and out of direct summer sun. Never in a fully enclosed space.

Yes. Install-only quotes are welcome. We warrant our workmanship; brand warranty stays with the supplier.
