Split System Air Conditioning Services in Perth
Split system air conditioning is the quickest, most affordable way to cool and heat individual rooms in a Perth home. Same Day Trades supplies and installs single-head and multi-head reverse cycle splits, and we repair and service existing units from the northern suburbs through to Fremantle and the southern coast.
Whether it is one bedroom, a multi-head setup for a villa or apartment, or a repair before the next heatwave, we size each system to the room and give you an upfront fixed price with no call-out fee.
What Is a Split System Air Conditioner?
A split system has a wall-mounted indoor unit and an outdoor compressor joined by refrigerant pipework. Reverse cycle models cool in summer and heat in winter, so one unit handles both. Splits are quiet, efficient and quick to fit, which makes them the default choice for Perth bedrooms, home offices and open-plan living.
How Much Does a Split System Cost in Perth?
A single split system in Perth usually costs between $2,500 and $5,500 fully supplied and installed, depending on capacity, brand and the electrical work involved. Multi-head systems running two to four indoor units from one outdoor unit generally range from around $6,000 to $12,000. We quote a fixed price upfront, with no call-out fee.
What About the “$5,000 Rule”?
The $5,000 rule is an informal budgeting guide, not an official figure. It is a reminder to plan a realistic budget once you move up in capacity or add a multi-head setup. We price on your actual room, not a rule of thumb.
Single-Head vs Multi-Head for Perth Homes
A single-head split suits one room or an open living area. A multi-head runs several indoor units from one outdoor unit, so you can cool two to four rooms without crowding a small courtyard or balcony with condensers. Multi-head works well for Perth villas, units and townhouses where strata rules limit outdoor gear.
Sizing for Perth’s Summers
Perth’s long, dry summers and strong afternoon sun make correct sizing essential. Too small and the unit never catches up on a scorching day; too big and it short-cycles and wastes power. We size from room dimensions, orientation, glazing and insulation so the system holds temperature smoothly until the Fremantle Doctor comes through.
Split System Installation in Perth
A standard single split is usually installed in a few hours, and most multi-head systems within a day. We place the indoor head for even, quiet airflow, mount the outdoor unit out of the way, run tidy pipework, then commission and test the system. Near the coast we protect the outdoor unit against salt-air corrosion. All work is completed by licensed technicians to AS/NZS standards.
Split System Repairs and Service
If your split is blowing warm air, dripping water, noisy or no longer cooling, we diagnose the real fault and fix it, often the same day. We also clean filters and coils, check the refrigerant charge and test the electrics so the unit runs efficiently. See our air conditioning repair and service pages.
Running Costs and Efficiency
Splits are among the cheapest systems to run when sized and used well. Choose a high star rating and an inverter model, set around 24 degrees in summer, and run only the rooms you are using. With Perth’s high rooftop solar uptake, daytime cooling can cost very little.
