We are a local, family-owned team with ten years working across Greater Adelaide, and Para Hills is on our regular northern run. You get the full price on paper before we lift a tool.
What a Split System Actually Is
A split system pairs an indoor wall unit with an outdoor compressor, joined by pipework and cabling through one small wall penetration. It cools the room it faces, and a reverse-cycle model heats it too.
That simplicity is the appeal. There is no ductwork, no ceiling space taken up and no big build, which suits homes where a full ducted install is not on the cards.
Which Para Hills Homes Suit a Split
The Reid Murray streets were finished by the mid-1970s, and the three-bedroom single-storey layout behind those brick facades is exactly what a split handles well. One unit in the main living area covers where a family actually spends the afternoon.
Living areas first.
Bedrooms when needed.
Units and additions.
Cooling and Heating Through an Adelaide Year
Adelaide summers run hot and dry, with heatwaves stacking consecutive days over 40, and a split system sized for that load cycles off instead of grinding. Winters here are genuinely cold, which is why we push reverse cycle.
Reverse cycle earns its keep.
Star ratings are money.
Zone by turning off.
Install Considerations on 1960s Blocks
Brick, brick-veneer and Mount Gambier freestone facades each take a bracket and penetration differently, and we check the wall construction before quoting. The block shape matters as much as the wall.
Outdoor unit placement.
Garden leaf fall.
Old wiring check.
Why the Right Aircon Choice Matters
An undersized unit runs flat out on a heatwave day and never catches up, while an oversized one short-cycles and wears early. Size, placement and efficiency decide the next ten years of comfort and cost.
How it works
Our Split System Install Process
Four steps, and you know the price before any of them start:
-
Step 1: Assess your home
We measure the rooms, check the wall, the switchboard and the outdoor position, and listen to how you actually use the house.
-
Step 2: Quote the full job
You get a fixed quote covering units, pipework, power and drainage, with no hourly rates and no bill shock.
-
Step 3: Install the units
We mount the indoor and outdoor units, run the lines, commission the system and set the controls so it is ready that day.
-
Step 4: Test and tidy up
We test cooling and heating on the spot, clear every scrap, and show you the filters and settings before we go.
Common Split System Problems
Even a good install needs attention over a decade of Adelaide summers:
- Not cooling properly on hot days
- Water dripping from the indoor unit
- The outdoor unit making noise at start-up
- A musty smell when the unit first kicks in
Any of these is worth a repair booking before it becomes a replacement, and our cleaning service keeps the airflow up between faults.

Questions
Split System Air Conditioning FAQs
Is a split system right for a three-bedroom brick home here?
Usually yes, because a single well-sized unit handles the living area of these 1960s homes, and a second unit covers the main bedroom if the whole house needs coverage.
Can one split system cool the whole house?
A single unit conditions the room it sits in and spills into adjoining spaces, so whole-home comfort usually means two units or a move to ducted, which we assess onsite.
How long does a split system install take?
Most single-unit installs are finished in a day, with the outdoor unit placed, pipework run and everything tested before we leave, and we confirm timing in your quote.
Do you offer finance for a new split system?
Yes, Humm interest-free finance is available for larger jobs, and there is $50 off first service and a 10% pensioner discount for eligible households.
How often should a split system be cleaned?
A professional clean every one to two years keeps airflow and efficiency where they should be, and homes with heavy garden leaf fall around the outdoor unit may need it sooner.
