We supply and install split system air conditioners across Perth — from a single back-to-back bedroom unit to a multi-head system running several rooms off one outdoor unit.

UNDERSTANDING SPLIT SYSTEM AIR CONDITIONING

What is split system air conditioning?

Split system air conditioning consists of an indoor unit and an outdoor unit, working together to efficiently cool or heat your home. The indoor unit distributes conditioned air throughout the space, while the outdoor unit expels heat from the refrigerant.

This design allows for quieter operation and flexible installation options, making it a popular choice for homes in Perth.

MULTI-HEAD SYSTEMS

Multi-split: cool several rooms from one outdoor unit

Want to air condition multiple rooms but only have space for one outdoor unit? A multi-head (multi-split) system runs two to five indoor heads off a single compressor — so each room sets its own temperature and you avoid a row of outdoor boxes down the side of the house.

  • 2–5 indoor heads on one outdoor unit
  • Independent temperature control in every room
  • Ideal where outdoor space or wall room is tight
  • Often the tidiest option for double-storey homes

We'll tell you honestly whether a multi-head system or separate single splits is better value for your home at the free quote.

SPLIT VS DUCTED

Split system or ducted — which suits your home?

A split system is the most cost-effective way to cool or heat one or two rooms, and it's quick to install. If you want even comfort across the whole home, a ducted system may be the better fit.

Our team handles the full installation — mounting, cabling, and commissioning — then keeps it running with annual servicing and repairs. Not sure what size you need? We'll assess your space and recommend honestly.

SPLIT SYSTEM INSTALLATION COST

How much does a split system cost to install in Perth?

Real Perth supply-and-installed price ranges for a standard back-to-back install (GST included). Your exact price comes down to the kW size for the room, the brand and energy rating, and the pipe and cable run. For the full breakdown, read our 2026 Perth split system cost guide, and if you're unsure on capacity, our guide to what size air conditioner you need.

Unit size Suits Supply + installed
2.5kW Small bedroom, study, nursery $1,820 – $2,400
3.5kW Standard bedroom, small living $2,020 – $2,900
5.0kW Master, open-plan living $2,550 – $3,600
7–8kW Large open-plan living/kitchen $2,960 – $4,500
Multi-head (2–5 rooms) Several rooms, one outdoor unit $4,500 – $11,000+

Prices are a guide for a standard back-to-back install on a value-to-mid brand. Long pipe runs, two-storey or difficult access, a premium brand, or a new electrical circuit can add to it — and because we're dual-licensed (air conditioning and electrical), any switchboard or circuit work is handled by the same team, on one quote. Every quote is free and upfront, and finance options are available for larger or multi-room jobs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Otter Air has developed a reputation amongst our clients as being honest, reliable, efficient and provide a professional service that delivers what we promise.

What is split system air conditioning?

A split system consists of an indoor unit mounted on a wall and an outdoor compressor unit. They work together to cool or heat a single room or open-plan area, offering quiet, efficient climate control.

How often should I service my split system?

We recommend annual servicing to maintain peak performance. Regular maintenance includes cleaning filters, checking refrigerant levels, and inspecting electrical connections to ensure efficiency and longevity.

What size split system do I need?

The right size depends on your room dimensions, insulation, window placement, and local climate. Our team provides a free assessment to recommend the ideal system capacity for your space.

How long does installation take?

A standard split system installation typically takes 3–5 hours. Our team ensures a clean, professional install with minimal disruption to your home.

Which brands do you install?

Panasonic is our top pick for most Perth homes — premium quality, in our experience on par with Daikin, at a sharper price thanks to our supplier relationship (plus nanoeX air purification and lacquer-coated outdoor PCBs). Daikin and Mitsubishi Electric are also premium; Midea is the value option. We can source other brands on request.

My split system isn't cooling properly – can you fix it?

Yes! Common issues include low refrigerant, dirty filters, or faulty compressors. Our technicians can diagnose and repair any fault quickly to restore comfort.

How much does it cost to install a split system in Perth?

A single-head split typically runs $1,500 to $4,500 supply and installed in Perth, depending on the kW size, the brand, and how easy the install is. A multi-head system covering several rooms ranges from about $4,500 to $11,000+. Every quote is free and upfront and fixed.

What is a multi-head (multi-split) system?

A multi-head split runs two to five indoor units from a single outdoor compressor, so you can air condition several rooms without a row of outdoor units. Each indoor head is controlled independently — ideal when different rooms want different temperatures.

Can you install a split system upstairs or on a second storey?

Yes. We regularly install split systems in second-storey rooms, planning the neatest route for the refrigerant lines and keeping the finish clean and tidy.

A real Perth job

3-head multi-split in a Success apartment

This customer had just bought an apartment in Success with a single split that only cooled the lounge. With very little balcony space and no ceiling access to conceal pipework, we removed the old unit and installed a 3-head Panasonic multi-split — heating and cooling the whole apartment from one outdoor unit — then fitted custom pipe covers along the balcony's wall-to-ceiling corner to keep it tidy.
