What a Split System Actually Is

A split system pairs an indoor unit on your wall with an outdoor unit beside the house, connected by refrigerant lines through a small wall penetration. That separation is the whole point: the noisy compressor sits outside, and the quiet head blows the conditioned air where you want it.

Which Clearview Homes Suit a Split System

This suburb was built out through the 1950s with cheap post-war austerity cottages, and many have since been replaced by brick or rendered infill on the same small blocks. That mix shapes what we recommend.

Split System Running Costs Through Adelaide's Seasons

Adelaide summers are hot and dry, with consecutive days over 40 in a heatwave. A correctly sized split handles that load without running flat out all day.

Sizing decides the bill.

An undersized unit runs at full tilt and never cycles down, which wears the compressor and inflates the power bill. We size to the room, the insulation and the orientation, not to a price bracket.

Zoning is built in.

A split only cools the room it is in, so you are not paying to run air into empty bedrooms. That is why many Clearview households run one head by day and another by night.

Star ratings matter.

Compare star ratings before you buy, not after. The running cost over a decade usually dwarfs the difference in purchase price.

Heating on the same unit.

Reverse-cycle heating through winter costs a fraction of portable electric heaters doing the same job.

How it works

How a Split System Installation Runs

Every install follows the same sequence, whether it is a single head in a cottage lounge or a multi-head setup in a newer build:

  1. 1

    Onsite assessment

    We measure the rooms, check the wall construction and pick positions for both units.

  2. 2

    Fixed price quote

    You get the full figure in writing before we drill anything.

  3. 3

    Mount and run

    We mount the indoor and outdoor units, run the pipework, cabling and drainage, and pressure-test the refrigerant lines.

  4. 4

    Commission and hand over

    We test the system end to end, then walk you through the controls before we leave.

Common Split System Problems We Fix

Questions

Split System FAQs

How many rooms can one split system cool?

One indoor unit cools one room or one open-plan area, so a lounge plus two bedrooms usually means a multi-head setup or separate units, and we size each one to the actual space during the assessment.

Do split systems heat as well as cool?

Reverse-cycle split systems do both, which suits Adelaide's cold winters and hot dry summers in the one unit, and we set them up so the heating cycle is as efficient as the cooling.

Can you install a split in a 1950s cottage?

Yes, the surviving post-war cottages around Clearview are some of our most common installs, because a high-wall split avoids the tight roof spaces that make ducted work harder and dearer in those homes.

How long does a split system installation take?

A single split is typically a one-day job, mounting the units, running the lines and commissioning the system, while a multi-head setup depends on how many indoor heads and how the walls run.

How often does a split system need cleaning?

Filters should be checked monthly through summer and professionally cleaned at least yearly, because the dry Adelaide summers push dust through the unit and a blocked filter is the fastest way to lose cooling.
