Split system installation in Melville

Split system air conditioning for Melville homes

Melville is one of Perth's settled inland-riverside suburbs, with quiet, tree-lined streets and a housing stock that ranges from solid mid-century brick-and-tile homes through to heavily renovated and rebuilt family residences. That spread shapes almost every split job we quote here. Original homes often still run older switchboards that simply weren't designed for modern reverse-cycle loads, so a clean split system installation in Melville frequently means running a new dedicated circuit and bringing the board up to standard. As a dual-licensed air conditioning and electrical contractor, Otter Air handles that wiring in-house rather than leaving you to chase a separate sparky.

The most common request we get for air conditioning in Melville is cooling the main living zone and the master bedroom, usually with well-placed wall-mounted high-walls and condensers tucked discreetly down the side of the home. On the larger renovated and double-storey properties the suburb is known for, we'll often look at multi-head setups so an upstairs retreat or several bedrooms run from a single tidy outdoor unit, keeping line runs and penetrations to a minimum.

Plenty of Melville homes are also onto their second or third generation of cooling, so swapping out a tired, noisy old unit for an efficient modern inverter split is a regular job. We size to the room and the home's orientation, route pipework neatly, and make sure the electrical connection is safe and compliant before we leave. Being close to the river, we also keep an eye on placement and airflow so condensers stay protected and run efficiently year-round.
