Split systems across Sydney homes
Splits carry a huge share of Sydney's cooling because so much of the city's housing was never built with ducting in mind. Terraces and semis with no usable roof space, apartments where the strata plan fixes where a condenser may sit, and older cottages where one well-placed head transforms the main living room: these are everyday jobs for us. In strata buildings we position and mount outdoor units to keep noise inside the rules and paperwork straightforward.
Placement matters more in Sydney than most owners expect. Coastal suburbs need condensers kept out of direct salt spray and coated coils where exposure is unavoidable, while west-facing walls that bake all afternoon are a poor home for an outdoor unit that has to shed heat. We pick positions for airflow, service access and quiet operation, then back-to-back or concealed pipe runs keep the finish tidy.

Frequently asked
Split questions from Sydney homes
How much does a split system cost installed in Sydney?
A single head installed runs $1,800–$3,200 depending on capacity and the pipe run, and a 3-head multi-head system lands between $5,500 and $8,500. The package builder prices your rooms from your address in about a minute.
Do I need strata approval for a split system in my apartment?
In most Sydney strata buildings, yes, because the condenser sits on common property or a balcony. It is normally a formality when the installer documents unit placement, noise levels and drainage properly, and we prepare that paperwork as part of the job.
One multi-head system or several single splits?
If outdoor space is tight, one multi-head condenser serving several rooms is the cleaner answer. Where wall space allows, separate singles cost about the same, keep each room independent, and one fault never takes out the whole home. We recommend whichever suits the building, not the invoice.
What size split does a Sydney bedroom or living room need?
Standard bedrooms usually sit at 2.5kW, larger master bedrooms and studies at 3.5kW, and open-plan living areas anywhere from 5kW to 9.4kW depending on glass, orientation and ceiling height. We size from the room, not the brochure.
How long does installation take?
A straightforward back-to-back single split is typically done in half a day. Long pipe runs, double-brick walls or multi-head systems extend that to a full day. You get a fixed timeframe with your quote.
Are you licensed and do brands honour the warranty?
Yes. ARCtick licensing is a legal requirement for refrigerant work and every one of our technicians carries it. Manufacturer warranties on Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, Fujitsu and Panasonic all stand when the system is installed by a licensed technician, which is exactly what you get.
