Split System Installations

A good installation lays the foundation for how the system performs for years. We approach split system installation by looking at the room itself: how heat builds, where airflow travels, and how the unit will be used.

We assess the space, recommend a system that suits the load, and install it with a clean finish. Once in place, we test performance and walk you through how to get the most out of it.

Had a problem with a leaking toilet. Contacted "your local tradesman", given an arrival time for a plumber to attend & review the problem. Plumber arrived on time this morning at 7.30am, & advised what the problem may be. We decided to replace the toilet system due to its age, he checked suppliers, ordered the new unit and it was installed this afternoon by 3.00pm. I am very impressed with the price, and service. Very Highly recommend this plumbing service.

Response from the owner:Thank you, Allan, for your wonderful feedback! We're glad to hear that our plumber was prompt and provided you with great service. It's fantastic that you were impressed with the price and the quick turnaround for your new toilet installation. We truly appreciate your recommendation!

We have met 5 different tradesmen over the past week, including one on work experience. All were lovely, polite, courteous and worked very efficiently. We had both electrical and plumbing work done including new taps, water filter, new toilet and external electrical socket. It was so easy to organise the work from making the initial call to arranging the subsequent appointments needed. Excellent communication via email and texts. We are now members and will be using Your Local Tradesman in the future. Very pleased and satisfied with the work 😊

Response from the owner:Thank you, Vanessa! We're delighted to hear that you had such a positive experience with our tradesmen and found the process easy and efficient. Your satisfaction means a lot to us, and we look forward to serving you again in the future!

Hot water switch had melted and it took a couple of days for me to become aware that it was not heating. The fault was obvious. Electrician checked circuits and found no other faults. He advised that the porcelain fuses needed to be replaced due to the age of the board. From about mid afternoon he ordered replacement parts and completed the installation early evening. I was pleased to have hot water that night and pleased to know my electrical system was safer.

Response from the owner:Thank you, Alan, for your detailed feedback! We're glad to hear that the issue was resolved quickly and that you now have hot water and a safer electrical system. Your satisfaction is important to us!

What is a split system air conditioner?

Split systems air conditioners are considered top-tier when it comes to easy installation and energy efficiency.

It’s a climate control system consisting of two components: an indoor unit mounted on a wall and an outdoor unit. Split air conditioning systems are energy efficient, can control room temperatures, and are known for their quiet operation. They are also more affordable than most ducted systems and an ideal choice for smaller homes.

Our team at Your Local Tradesman can provide regular servicing or a complete split air condition installation in Adelaide.

Frequently asked questions

We know choosing the right electrician to install your split system can be hard - we're here to make it simple with answers to frequently asked questions.

Is a split air conditioner suitable for my home?

Split systems are ideal for single rooms or open-plan areas. They are a great option if you’re looking to control the temperature in specific spaces without the expense of a full ducted system. With proper maintenance, split AC can even last for 10-15 years.

What sizes are available for split systems?

Split systems come in various capacities, typically ranging from 2.5kW to 9kW. The appropriate size depends on the room's dimensions, insulation, and sun exposure. Our experts can help you select the perfect size for your space.

How often should I service my split system?

To maintain efficiency, it’s recommended to service your split system every 6 to 12 months. Regular servicing includes cleaning filters, checking refrigerant levels, and inspecting components for wear.

Can split systems heat my home as well?

Yes, most split systems are reverse-cycle air conditioners, meaning they can both cool and heat your home, making them a versatile year-round solution.

Can I control my split system with a smartphone?

Many modern split systems come with Wi-Fi capability, allowing you to control them remotely via a smartphone app. This feature is perfect for managing your home’s temperature while you’re away.

Should I get a split system or evaporative cooling?

Split systems suit room-by-room control, while evaporative systems are better for whole-home airflow.

How do I know what size split system I need?

It depends on room size, insulation, and sun exposure. We assess the space and recommend a system that matches the load.

How much do split systems typically cost?

Costs depend on the system and installation requirements. We provide upfront pricing so you know where things stand before work begins.
