Our Brisbane Split System Installation Process

1. Free on-site assessment — we measure room volume, check insulation, glazing, orientation and existing electrical capacity, then recommend the right kW size and brand for your space and budget.
2. Up-front fixed-price quote — itemised, including model numbers, brand warranties and any electrical allowances. No surprises later.
3. Licensed installation (4–6 hours) — mounting indoor and outdoor units, refrigerant pipework, drainage, electrical connection by a licensed electrician.
4. Pressure test, evacuation and commissioning — every system is leak-tested and commissioned to manufacturer spec, not just switched on.
5. Controller setup and walk-through — Wi-Fi pairing, scheduling, filter-clean reminders and a clear demonstration of the controller.
6. Clean site & warranty docs — packaging removed, old unit decommissioned and recycled if replacing, warranty paperwork emailed.

Choosing the Right Size for Your Brisbane Room

Correct kW sizing is the difference between a system that cools quickly and silently, and one that short-cycles, struggles with humidity and pushes your power bill up. We size to room volume, insulation, glazing direction, ceiling height, shading and how you use the space — not just floor area.

• 2.5kW — single bedroom or home office up to ~20 m² (2.5kW install details)
• 3.5kW — large bedroom, study or small open-plan area up to ~30 m²
• 5.0kW — main living, master suite or medium open-plan up to ~45 m²
• 7.0kW — large open-plan living, kitchen-dining-lounge up to ~65 m² (7kW install details)
• 8.0kW+ — very large living areas, high ceilings or poorly insulated rooms

Brisbane’s hot, humid summers mean you usually need 10–15% more capacity than the same room would need in Melbourne or Sydney. We factor that in automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does split system installation cost in Brisbane?

Fully installed prices start from $1,600 inc GST for a Braemar 2.5kW back-to-back install. LG 2.6kW from $1,660, Panasonic 2.5kW from $1,770, Daikin 2.5kW from $1,880. Larger 5–7kW living-area units start from $2,400 installed. Multi-head systems start from $4,200 (two heads + one outdoor unit). Long pipe runs, two-storey installs and electrical upgrades are quoted on top — and always disclosed before work starts.

How long does split system installation take?

A standard back-to-back install takes 4–6 hours. This covers mounting both units, pipework, drainage, electrical connection, pressure testing, evacuation, commissioning and a controller walk-through. Longer pipe runs, awkward outdoor positions or second-storey installs add 1–3 hours. We usually finish in a single visit.

What warranty do I get?

Every supply-and-install job comes with a 10-year workmanship warranty from AH Air Conditioning plus the manufacturer’s warranty on the unit itself — typically 5 years parts & labour, with LG offering a 10-year compressor warranty. We register your warranty with the manufacturer on your behalf and email you the paperwork.

Do I need a licensed technician for split system installation?

Yes. Queensland law requires refrigerant work to be done by an ARCtick-licensed refrigeration mechanic, and electrical work by a licensed electrician. AH Air Conditioning holds all required licences and full public liability insurance. DIY or unlicensed install voids your manufacturer warranty and is a safety risk.

Which is the best brand of split system for Brisbane?

There’s no single best — it depends on budget and priorities. Daikin and Mitsubishi Electric are the premium reliability picks. Panasonic and LG are excellent mid-range value (LG has the longest compressor warranty). Fujitsu and Braemar are reliable value-tier options. Samsung suits buyers who want Wind-Free cooling and modern aesthetics. After 20+ years of Brisbane installs, we can recommend the right pick for your room and budget on the spot.

Can you install on the same day?

Same-day on-site assessments are almost always possible. Same-day installs depend on stock — most popular models we hold or can get next-day. We’ll confirm a firm install date when we quote.

Do you remove my old air conditioner?

Yes. We safely decommission and recover refrigerant from your old unit (ARCtick compliant), remove brackets and pipework, and recycle the unit. There’s a small disposal allowance built into the quote — no surprise fees.
