Air Conditioner Installation for Your Home

Choosing an air conditioner involves more than finding a unit that fits your budget. The system also needs to suit the room, the property and how often it will be used.

Important factors include:

  • The size and layout of the room
  • Ceiling height
  • Windows and afternoon sun
  • Insulation and airflow
  • How many rooms need air conditioning
  • Where the indoor and outdoor units can be placed
  • How often you expect to use cooling and heating

A unit that is too small may struggle to reach the set temperature on hot days. A unit that is larger than the room needs may cost more without providing a better result.

If you are unsure about capacity, our guide to what size air conditioner you need explains the main points to consider.

Split System Air Conditioning Installation

Split system air conditioner

A split system air conditioner is a practical option for cooling and heating one room or a defined area of the home. Common installation areas include bedrooms, living rooms, home offices and open-plan spaces.

The system has an indoor unit and an outdoor unit connected by pipework and electrical cabling. The position of both units can affect:

  • Airflow through the room
  • The length of the pipe run
  • Drainage
  • Outdoor noise
  • Access for future servicing
  • The overall installation cost

Split system air conditioning lets you control the temperature in individual rooms. This can be useful when you do not need to run air conditioning throughout the whole house.

Some homes need one split system, while others may need units in several rooms. We can help you consider which areas need air conditioning and whether separate systems will suit the way your household uses the space.

Learn more about the available options on our split system air conditioning page.

Planning a split system installation? Send us your suburb, room details and any unit you are considering to get started.

 

Ducted Air Conditioning for the Whole Home

Ducted air conditioning can cool or heat many rooms through vents connected to one central system. It may suit homeowners who want more consistent temperature control across most of the property.

Planning a ducted installation involves looking at:

  • The size and layout of the home
  • Available ceiling or roof space
  • The number and location of outlets
  • The return-air position
  • Duct routes
  • System capacity
  • The rooms included in each zone

Ducted air conditioning is often planned as part of a new build or major renovation. It may also be possible to install a system in an existing home when there is suitable access and space.

Visit our ducted air conditioner installation page for more detail about this service.

If you are still comparing your options, read our guide to ducted air conditioning versus split systems.

What Is Included in an Air Conditioner Installation Service?

Air conditioner maintenance service

The exact work depends on the selected air conditioning system, the property and the proposed installation position.

A split system air conditioner installation may include:

  • Confirming the proposed unit locations
  • Mounting the indoor unit
  • Positioning and securing the outdoor unit
  • Running the required pipework and cabling
  • Providing the required electrical connection
  • Setting up drainage for condensation
  • Testing the system after installation
  • Explaining the main controls and settings

Some properties require additional work because of difficult access, longer pipe runs, installation height, drainage or existing electrical infrastructure. These details need to be considered when the job is assessed and quoted.

If possible, upload photos of the proposed indoor location, the outside wall and any existing air conditioning unit with your enquiry. This will give our team more information about the job.

What Does a Standard Installation Include?

Aircon installation offers often refer to a “standard installation,” but the meaning can vary between suppliers.

For a split system, it commonly means a straightforward back-to-back installation. The indoor and outdoor units are placed on opposite sides of the same wall, with a relatively short connection between them.

An installation may fall outside standard conditions if it involves:

  • A long distance between the indoor and outdoor units
  • Work above normal ground-floor height
  • Difficult access
  • Wall brackets for the outdoor unit
  • Additional drainage work
  • Work inside the ceiling or roof
  • Electrical or switchboard work
  • Removal of an existing air con system

The installation area should be checked before assuming a standard installation applies. A clear quote should explain the planned work and any additional requirements identified for the property.

 

Air Conditioning Installation Costs

Air conditioner installation costs depend on more than the price of the unit. The system type, capacity and conditions at the property all affect the total cost.

The quote may be influenced by:

  • The make and model of the air conditioning unit
  • The number of units being installed
  • The installation position
  • The distance between indoor and outdoor units
  • Access to the work area
  • Pipework and drainage requirements
  • Wall or ground mounting requirements
  • Electrical work
  • Removal of an existing system

Low advertised installation prices may only cover basic standard conditions. Comparing the full scope of work is more useful than comparing the starting price alone.

If you already own an air conditioner, include the brand, model and capacity in your enquiry. The proposed unit and installation location will need to be considered before the work can be confirmed.

To request a quote, tell us your suburb, which rooms need air conditioning and whether you already have a unit. You can also upload photos of the proposed installation area.

 

New Installations and Air Conditioner Replacements

You may need a new air conditioner for a room that has never had one, an extension, a renovation or an additional area of the property.

Replacing an older air conditioner can involve different work. Before a new unit is installed, the existing system, pipework, electrical supply and installation position may need to be checked. It should not be assumed that every existing part can be reused with the new system.

If your current unit is unreliable, inefficient or no longer suits the room, visit our air conditioner replacement page.

 

Commercial Air Conditioning Installation

Triforce also installs air conditioning for offices and commercial properties.

A commercial installation may need to account for operating hours, the number of people using the space, heat from equipment and how the work could affect normal business activity. The right approach depends on the size, layout and use of the property.

For more information about these projects, visit our commercial air conditioning page.

Common Questions About Air Conditioner Installation

What size air conditioner do I need?

The right capacity depends on the room’s floor area, ceiling height, windows, insulation, sun exposure and how the space is used. A larger unit is not automatically the better option.

Our air conditioning sizing guide explains the factors that should be considered.

 

Should I choose split system or ducted air conditioning?

A split system can be a practical choice for one room or a few separate areas. Ducted air conditioning may be better suited to a home where many rooms need cooling and heating.

The right system depends on the property, available installation space and how you want to control the temperature in different rooms.

 

Can I supply my own air conditioner?

If you have already purchased a unit, provide its brand, model and capacity when making your enquiry. The unit and proposed installation location will need to be considered before the work can be confirmed.

If you have not purchased a system, Triforce can discuss supply-and-installation options with you.

 

Where can the outdoor unit be installed?

The outdoor unit needs enough airflow and suitable access for installation and future servicing. The position may also be affected by drainage, pipe length, noise and the layout of the property.

The best location needs to be considered together with the position of the indoor unit.

 

Can you remove and replace an old air conditioner?

Yes. The existing air conditioner can be removed as part of a replacement job when this is included in the agreed scope of work.

The old unit, its connections and the installation area should be checked before confirming what can be reused and what needs to be replaced.

 

How long does aircon installation take?

The time required depends on the system and the installation conditions. A straightforward split system installation will usually involve less work than several split systems or a ducted installation.

Access, unit position, pipe routes and electrical requirements can all affect the time needed.
