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
A modern inverter split will heat down to −15°C outside — most 'cheap' electric heaters can't compete on running cost.
Only the rooms you're using are conditioned. Great for shift-workers, home offices, and nurseries.
Modern units run at 19–22 dBA on the lowest fan speed — quieter than a whisper.
Wall penetrations sealed, pipework in colour-matched duct, cable tied and labelled.
How it works
- 1. Choose the right size
We recommend a size in kW based on room volume, glazing, and orientation — not floor area alone.
- 2. Quote & schedule
Fixed-price quote, install typically booked within a week.
- 3. Install day (half-day)
Indoor + outdoor unit installed, pressure tested, vacuum, gas-charged, commissioned.
- 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."
