The Local Team for Split System Cooling and Heating in Clearview
We are a local, family-owned business with ten years operating across Greater Adelaide, and split system work is on our run through this suburb every week. You get a fixed quote before we start, and the same team comes back if anything is not right.
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This suburb was built out through the 1950s with cheap post-war austerity cottages, and many have since been replaced by brick or rendered infill on the same small blocks.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.

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.
