Split system air conditioning for Kardinya homes
Kardinya is a settled inland suburb south of the Swan River, close to Murdoch University and the surrounding hospital precinct. The housing is dominated by 1970s and 1980s brick-and-tile family homes on generous blocks, often on gently elevated, tree-lined streets. These houses hold heat well through a Perth summer but were rarely designed for air conditioning, so the most common request we see is cooling a main living area and the master bedroom before the hottest months arrive. Because we are dual-licensed for both air conditioning and electrical work, we can add the dedicated circuit an older switchboard usually needs without subcontracting the electrical side out.
That in-house licensing matters here. A lot of Kardinya switchboards still carry their original fuses or an early ceramic-style board, and a new split simply cannot share an existing kitchen or laundry circuit safely. When we quote a split system installation Kardinya homeowners can rely on, we check the board first and price any upgrade or new circuit honestly, rather than discovering it on install day. For the brick-veneer and double-brick construction common across the suburb, we plan tidy line runs and core-drill cleanly so the indoor head and outdoor condenser sit where they actually suit the room.
We also fit out the renovated and extended homes that have become common in the area, where a single unit no longer covers an open-plan living zone or a converted upstairs space. In those cases a multi-head system, with one outdoor unit feeding several rooms, is often the neater answer. Whether you are replacing a tired, noisy old unit or adding air conditioning Kardinya families will actually feel on a 38-degree day, we size the system to the room and leave the work neat.
