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.

Your Local Trader has been the best experience I’ve had with tradesmen. From the receptionists to payment, professionalism was evident right through.All of them spoke naturally to me, NOT at me, as has happened with some tradies I’ve had the misfortune to encounter so didn’t hire. Brendan came to check my gas hot water system and confirmed what I was dreading, it had to be replaced. He explained everything clearly, the new system that suits where I live by a beach, costs no matter how long it would take and answered all my questions, articulating the why’s and how’s. Next day Benny and Stavi arrived with their beautiful smiles and great sense of humour. Benny explained everything they’d be doing & completed the installation, all the time updating me on what was happening. They explained an electrician Jordan would come whenever it suited me to add the electric compotent that safeguards the gas hot water system. A date & time was set. I now had hot water again and extremely grateful for well mannered professional plumbers Benny and Stavi with their wonderful personalities. Jordan the electrician and Kane a plumber are also respectful, personable professionals.who came a few days later about the electrical work. Jordan was great and quietly went about installing the electrical side and like Kane, both happily chatting to me & explaining what they were doing. I have nothing but admiration for the professional young men who came to install my new hot water system. They all made it look so seamless and their happy intelligent personalities was a bonus. I highly recommend Your Local Tradesman for all your home emergencies. The company’s website explains everything they do, and their staff are highly commendable. A huge THANK YOU again Brendan, Benny, Stavi, Jordan and Kane for a job well done.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Topaz! We’re so glad to hear you had such a positive experience with our team. It's wonderful to know that Brendan, Benny, Stavi, Jordan, and Kane made the process seamless and enjoyable for you. Your recommendation means a lot 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.

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.
