Split system installation in Cannington

Split system air conditioning for Cannington homes

A lot of Cannington's housing stock is the older brick-and-tile that defined Perth's south-east through the post-war decades. These homes are well built but often still run an original switchboard that was never sized for modern reverse-cycle air conditioning. The most common job we handle is adding a dedicated circuit so a new split can run safely on its own breaker. Because Otter Air is dual-licensed for both air conditioning and electrical, we do that switchboard and wiring work in-house on the same visit, rather than leaving you to chase a separate sparky to finish the job.

The typical Cannington brief is straightforward: cool the master bedroom and the main living area where the family actually spends time. On the older single-storey homes that usually means a tidy back-to-back install through a brick cavity, keeping the line set short and the outdoor unit neatly against a side or rear wall. Where there's a newer two-storey townhouse or infill build closer to the activity centre, we'll plan upstairs routing and longer runs, or talk through a multi-head system if you want several rooms zoned off one outdoor unit. Being inland, salt-air corrosion isn't a concern here, so unit placement is driven by airflow and access rather than coastal protection.

We also see plenty of replacement work in Cannington, swapping out tired old units that have stopped keeping up through Perth's long, dry summers. If you're after air conditioning Cannington homeowners can rely on, we'll size the unit to the actual room rather than overselling, check the existing wiring, and leave the site clean.
