Air Conditioning Installation Services We Offer
Split System Air Conditioning Installation
Split systems are the most popular choice for Melbourne homes and businesses, and for good reason — they’re energy-efficient, cost-effective, and capable of both heating and cooling. We supply and install split systems in bedrooms, living rooms, offices, and open-plan spaces, sizing the unit correctly for the room to ensure optimal performance and efficiency.
We’re experienced installers for all major brands including Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Samsung, LG, and more. Whether you want us to supply the unit or you’ve already purchased one yourself, we can handle the complete installation.
Multi-Head Split System Installation
Want to air condition multiple rooms from a single outdoor unit? A multi-head split system is an elegant and cost-effective solution, particularly in homes and apartments where space is limited. We design and install multi-head systems to suit your property’s layout and your family’s needs.
Ducted Air Conditioning Installation
For whole-home heating and cooling, ducted reverse cycle air conditioning is the gold standard. A single system conditions every room in your home, with individual zone controls to manage comfort and running costs. We project manage the full installation — from the indoor and outdoor units to the ductwork, ceiling vents, zone controllers, and electrical connections.
Cassette & Ceiling Air Conditioning
Cassette-type air conditioners mount flush into the ceiling and distribute air in four directions, making them ideal for open-plan commercial spaces, restaurants, retail premises, and large living areas. We supply and install cassette systems for both residential and commercial clients across Melbourne.
Air Conditioning Replacement & Upgrades
If your existing air conditioner is ageing, unreliable, or no longer energy efficient, it may be costing you significantly more to run than a modern replacement would. We assess your existing system and installation, recommend the best replacement unit for your needs and budget, and complete the swap professionally with minimal disruption.
New Build & Renovation AC Installation
Building a new home or renovating? We work alongside your builder and other trades to plan and install air conditioning as part of the build process, from pre-wire and rough-in through to final commissioning. Getting the electrical and refrigeration work done at the right stage saves time and money.
Our Process
Why Getting the Right Size Air Conditioner Matters
One of the most common and costly mistakes homeowners make is installing an air conditioner that’s too small or too large for the space. An undersized unit will run constantly and never quite get the room to temperature. An oversized unit will short-cycle — switching on and off rapidly — which increases energy consumption, accelerates wear, and leads to humidity problems.
When you get a quote from Elecool, we calculate the correct unit capacity based on your room’s size, ceiling height, insulation, orientation, window area, and how you use the space. This takes a few extra minutes but saves you years of frustration and unnecessary running costs.
All Major Brands Supplied & Installed
We supply and install air conditioning systems from all leading manufacturers available in Australia. Our most commonly installed brands include Daikin — which we particularly recommend for Melbourne’s climate given their reliability in both heating and cooling modes — as well as Mitsubishi Electric, Fujitsu General, Panasonic, Samsung, LG, Kelvinator, and Carrier.
When Elecool installs your air conditioning system, we handle the complete job — there are no hidden extras or additional trades required. Our standard installation includes mounting the indoor unit on the wall, locating and mounting the outdoor unit in an appropriate position, running the electrical supply and interconnecting cables, running the refrigerant lines and insulating them correctly, pressure testing the refrigerant circuit and commissioning the system, testing all functions including heating, cooling, fan speeds, and timer settings, and walking you through the operation of your new system before we leave.
We also clean up completely and remove all packaging and off-cuts. The job is done when we leave — not when the next trade arrives.
How Much Does Air Conditioning Installation Cost in Melbourne?
Air conditioning installation costs in Melbourne vary depending on the type of system, the size of the unit, the complexity of the installation (roof space access, distance between indoor and outdoor units, wall type, etc.), and whether any additional electrical work is required such as a dedicated circuit or switchboard upgrade.
As a general guide, a standard single split system supply and install for a typical Melbourne home starts from around $1,200–$1,800 all-inclusive for a quality mid-range unit in a straightforward installation. We provide detailed, itemised quotes before any work begins so you know exactly what you’re paying for. There are no surprise charges on completion.

Frequently Asked Questions — Air Conditioning Installation Melbourne
How long does split system installation take?
A standard single split system installation typically takes 3–5 hours for a straightforward job. Multi-head systems and ducted installations take longer and may span more than one day depending on the complexity.
Can you install an air conditioner in a brick veneer home?
Yes. We install air conditioning in all types of Melbourne homes including brick veneer, weatherboard, double brick, and rendered properties. The wall type affects how we route the refrigerant lines and may add a small amount of time and cost, which we’ll advise you of at the quote stage.
Does the outdoor unit need to be on the ground?
Not necessarily. Outdoor units can be wall-mounted, roof-mounted, or installed on a ground-level slab or frame depending on what suits your property. We’ll identify the best location during your assessment.
Do I need an electrician or a refrigeration technician for AC installation?
You need both — and at Elecool, both skills are covered under the same roof. All refrigerant handling must be performed by an ARCtick-licensed refrigeration technician, and the electrical connections must be completed by a licensed electrician. We have both qualifications covered, so you’re not coordinating two separate trades.
What size split system do I need for my room?
As a rough guide, a 2.5kW unit suits a small bedroom, 3.5kW suits a medium room, 5–6kW suits a large living area, and 7–9kW suits a very large open-plan space. However, room orientation, ceiling height, and insulation all affect the correct sizing, which is why we assess each job individually.
Can you service or repair my existing air conditioner as well?
- Yes. In addition to new installations, we service, maintain, and repair existing air conditioning systems. Regular servicing keeps your system running efficiently and extends its lifespan.
