Types of Air Conditioners We Supply & Install Across Melbourne
Split System Air Conditioners
Best for bedrooms, living rooms, home offices, apartments and targeted heating and cooling. Choose from wall mounted split system installation, floor mounted consoles, under ceiling units for larger spaces, or ceiling mounted cassette systems.
Multi-Head Split System Installation
A multi head air conditioning installation lets you connect multiple indoor units to one outdoor unit. Useful for homes where you want comfort in several rooms without full ductwork.
Ducted Air Conditioning
Ducted air conditioning offers whole-home heating and cooling with zoning options. A good fit for larger homes, renovations and upgrading older gas heating systems.
Evaporative Air Conditioning
Fresh-air cooling suited to many Melbourne homes, particularly where low running costs and whole-home airflow are priorities. We offer evaporative cooling installations across Melbourne, and upgrades to newer more efficient models when your old system reaches the end of its life.
Add-On Cooling Systems
Refrigerated cooling connected to selected ducted gas heating systems, using existing ductwork where suitable. We work with leading brands including Brivis ICE™ and Braemar Invertair™ systems, providing solutions that integrate seamlessly. Note: Add on cooling systems are not eligible for VEU rebates, and cost similar to a ducted reverse cycle air conditioning installation. We will discuss the financial pros and cons with you when we visit for a quote.

Melbourne Air Conditioning Installation Rules and Requirements
Air conditioning installation in Melbourne needs to be handled by appropriately licensed trades. Reverse cycle air conditioning work in Victoria requires relevant VBA registration for refrigerated air conditioning work, refrigerant handling licensing, and electrical work must be completed by a Registered Electrical Contractor where required.
Noise is another important consideration. EPA Victoria sets prohibited times for residential air conditioners, evaporative coolers and split systems used for cooling. These systems should not be used before 7am or after 11pm on weekdays, or before 9am and after 11pm on weekends and public holidays, except during a heat health warning.
For most standard residential installations, the bigger practical issues are usually correct unit placement, compliant electrical work, drainage, safe access, body corporate rules, heritage overlays and neighbour noise. If your home is an apartment, townhouse, heritage property or part of an owners corporation, approvals may need to be checked before installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does air conditioning installation cost in Melbourne?
Air conditioning installation in Melbourne typically costs between $600-$15,500 depending on the system type, with split systems being the most affordable and ducted systems the most expensive.
How long does air conditioning installation take in Melbourne?
A split system air conditioner typically takes two to four hours to install, depending on the location of the indoor and outdoor units and whether any electrical work is needed. Multi head split systems with two or more indoor units can take a full day. Ducted air conditioning is a larger job. A standard installation in a single storey home takes one to two days, while two storey homes or systems with multiple zones can take two to three days. If old ductwork needs to be removed and replaced, allow an extra half day to full day.
What warranty comes with a new air conditioner installation?
For regulated air conditioning installation work in Victoria, the installer must issue a VBA Plumbing Compliance Certificate where the regulated plumbing work is valued at $750 or more. This certificate provides six years of insurance cover for the plumbing work. Customers should also receive an ESV Certificate of Electrical Safety for relevant electrical work. This is separate from the manufacturer’s product warranty. Manufacturer warranties are usually at least 5 years for parts.
Where should the outdoor air conditioning unit be placed?
The outdoor unit needs enough airflow, safe drainage, service access and a position that reduces noise impact on neighbours. It should generally avoid locations directly beside neighbouring bedrooms, windows or living areas. Ground-level or screened positions can sometimes help reduce noise transfer, depending on the property layout.
Can you install your own air conditioner in your Melbourne home?
You cannot legally install your own air conditioner in Melbourne as electrical and refrigeration work must be performed by licensed professionals to comply with Victorian regulations.
Can I install air conditioning in an apartment?
Yes, but apartment installations usually need more planning than standard houses. The installer needs to consider body corporate approval, condenser location, drainage, pipe runs, access, electrical capacity, noise and whether the building has pre-approved locations for outdoor units. Balcony, rooftop, courtyard or service-area placement may be possible depending on the building rules.
Will I need an electrical upgrade before installing air conditioning?
Some homes may need electrical work before installation, especially older homes, switchboards with limited capacity, or larger ducted and multi-head systems. In Victoria, electrical work associated with air conditioning must be handled by appropriately licensed electrical professionals where required.
Are older homes in Melbourne suitable for modern air conditioners?
Older Melbourne homes are generally suitable for modern air conditioning, though they may require electrical upgrades or additional structural considerations that can increase installation costs.
How do I know what size air conditioner I need?
The best way to size a reverse cycle air conditioner is through an onsite load assessment. A proper assessment considers the room size, ceiling height, insulation, window size, orientation, shading, number of occupants and how the space is used. Oversizing or undersizing can affect comfort, running costs and system performance.
Can an air conditioner be installed on an internal wall?
Yes, but it is usually more complex. Internal wall installations may require longer pipe runs, drainage planning, ceiling or roof cavity access, or a condensate pump. An installer needs to check whether the indoor unit can drain properly and whether the pipework can reach a suitable outdoor unit location.
What air conditioning temperature is best for Melbourne?
In Melbourne, the ideal temperature for your home air conditioner is 24-26°C in summer and 18-20°C in winter. On very hot days, aim for 8-10°C below the outdoor temperature to keep energy costs down.
