Choose your system

Four shapes. One of them is your house.

Before anyone talks model numbers, the choice is what shape the system takes — one room or the whole house, on the wall or in the roof, refrigerated or evaporative. Everything else follows from that.

A reverse-cycle wall split heating and cooling a living room
from $2,199 installed

Reverse cycle air conditioning

Mitsubishi Electric · Kaden

One machine that both heats and cools — a heat pump on the wall or in the roof. It's the cheapest way to heat a Melbourne home, it's now VEU-rebate eligible, and it comes in three shapes: a split for a room, multi-head for a few, ducted for the whole house.

  • One machine, both seasons — Heats in winter, cools in summer
  • About a third of gas to run — A heat pump moves heat, it doesn't burn anything
  • The VEU rebate applies — Taken off at the quote, not chased after
  • A room, or the whole home — Split · multi-head · ducted, sized to the house

from $2,199 installed

Split system air conditioning

Mitsubishi Electric · Kaden

One outdoor unit, one indoor head. The right answer for a bedroom, a living room or a granny flat: the simplest system there is, the least to run, and the quickest to get in. Most go in back-to-back in a single morning.

  • Sized to the room — 2.5, 5.0 or 7.1 kW — not whatever's on the truck
  • Two brands, both good — Mitsubishi Electric MSZ-AP or Kaden KSI
  • One morning — Back-to-back install in three to four hours
  • Fresh copper — New line-set every time, never the old pipe

Kaden multi-head outdoor condenser on a levelled roof stand
from $6,500 installed

Multi-head air conditioning

Mitsubishi Electric · Kaden

One outdoor unit running two to five indoor heads. Worth it when you want three bedrooms done but only have room, or body-corporate permission, for a single condenser outside.

  • One outdoor unit — Two to five heads off a single box
  • Mix the head types — Wall, floor console or bulkhead on the one system
  • One set of penetrations — Not four holes in four walls
  • Each room, its own control — Own remote, own set temperature

Insulated flex ductwork run through a roof space
from $12,500 installed

Ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning

Mitsubishi Electric · Kaden · Zonemate

Whole-home heating and cooling from a single system in the roof. Vents in every room, zoned so you are not paying to condition the bedrooms at 7pm. New builds and retrofits both.

  • The duct design first — We size the trunk and the branches, not just the unit
  • Mitsubishi indoor and out — PEAD-M / PEA-M with a PUZ outdoor
  • Zoning as standard — Zonemate 4, 6 or 8 zone, fitted by default
  • New duct throughout — Insulated flex, sized per branch
See the full detail
Evaporative cooler mounted on a tiled roof
from $3,900 installed

Evaporative cooling

Brivis · Kaden

Roof-mounted, runs on water and a fan rather than refrigerant. Cheap to run and moves a lot of air, which suits the drier inland suburbs. Needs windows cracked to work, and it struggles on humid days.

  • Cheap to run — A fraction of refrigerated cooling
  • Right for dry heat — Best in the drier north and east
  • Cooling only — Pair it with gas ducted for winter
  • Brivis and Kaden — Roof-mounted units we fit most

How it looks

What it actually looks like on the wall.

Nobody asks this at the quote and everybody thinks it. An indoor head is about the size of a long shoebox and sits high on the wall; the outdoor unit is the part that ends up down the side of the house. What decides whether it looks tidy is the pipework, and that is entirely down to who installs it.

  • ~80 × 30 cmA typical indoor head, mounted high
  • Colour-matchedCapping over the pipework, not bare lagging
  • Levelled + ratedWall brackets or a ground stand, never bricks
  • Cored and sealedOne neat penetration, drop sheets down

Answer the three and the answer appears here.

Keeping it working

It only stays quiet if somebody cleans it.

Almost every January call-out we get is a filthy coil, a blocked filter or a clogged condensate drain on a system nobody has touched since it went in. None of those are faults. All of them look like faults on the hottest day of the year, and all of them are an afternoon rather than a new system.

How the job runs

Our aircon installation process, step by step.

  1. 1

    Room-by-room heat-load calc

    We walk the home, check ceiling height, window aspect and insulation, then compute the actual kW load. Nothing gets guessed, a 5 kW room quote sizes to a 5 kW unit, not a 7.

  2. 2

    Written fixed-price quote in 12 hrs

    Back to you inside 12 business hours with the model number, capacity, line-set length, controller spec, warranty position and total installed price. No 'from $X' bait.

  3. 3

    Order stock, book install day

    Mitsubishi warehouse in Melbourne is same-day on common stock. We confirm your install day the moment the unit lands with us.

  4. 4

    Install day, usually one visit

    Single-split back-to-back is 3-4 hours on site. Multi-head or ducted is a full day. Drop sheets down, dust extraction on the wall cut, conduit colour-matched outside.

  5. 5

    Test, commission, walk-through

    We run it up, check refrigerant pressures, walk you through the remote and MELCloud Wi-Fi setup. You sign the job card when you're satisfied, not before.

  6. 6

    Compliance certificate emailed in 24 hrs

    Electrical and refrigeration compliance docs into your inbox by end of business the next day. Warranty registered with Mitsubishi in your name at the same time.

What’s included
  • Supply of the specified unit + all mounting hardware
  • Standard install labour (up to 3 m line-set for splits, up to 30 m for multi-head)
  • Electrical connection to existing sub-board (or a new circuit if quoted)
  • Refrigerant charge + commissioning
  • Old unit removed and responsibly disposed of
  • Full electrical + refrigeration compliance certificates
  • Manufacturer warranty registered in your name
We’ll quote it and let you know
  • Line-set runs beyond the included metres (charged per additional metre in the quote)
  • Condensate pump if the indoor is above the outdoor and there's no gravity drain (~$220 typical)
  • Structural rework, ceiling patching or painting after ductwork
  • LPG bottle relocation for gas-adjacent installs

Common questions

Quick honest answers.

If your question isn't here, call (03) 5947 8000.

How long does a split-system install take?

A standard back-to-back single-split is 3–4 hours on site. Multi-head is a full day. Ducted retrofit is typically 1–2 days depending on how many zones and whether the ceiling cavity is straightforward.

Do I need a separate electrician?

No. We handle all electrical work in the same visit. Our team holds refrigeration + electrical + gas tickets so nothing gets subbed out.

What size aircon do I need?

Rough rule: ~125-150 W per m² for standard 2.4 m ceilings. Rooms with big north-facing glass, cathedral ceilings or minimal insulation push higher. We do a proper heat-load calc in the quote, not a guess.

Reverse-cycle vs evap for Pakenham?

Reverse-cycle wins for anywhere in the south-east except the driest hot days. Evap is cheaper to run but ineffective when humidity climbs (Melbourne summers get both dry and humid days). Ducted RC is our default for whole-home.

Can you install on a rental?

Yes. We provide a written quote you can share with your property manager, and we lodge the manufacturer warranty in the owner's name. Compliance certs included as standard.

Do you install brands we haven't quoted?

We install every major brand for repair + service, but for a new install we prefer to quote Mitsubishi or Kaden. If you've bought a Daikin or Panasonic and need it installed, we'll do it as a supply-not-included job.
