Split system installation in Mount Richon

Split system air conditioning for Mount Richon homes
Mount Richon sits inland near the base of the Darling Range, which means summer afternoons here can run hot and still, while winter nights drop noticeably cooler than the coastal suburbs. A reverse-cycle split system earns its keep on both counts, and getting the sizing right matters more than usual: a unit that comfortably cools a Cottesloe lounge may struggle against the heat that builds up in a west-facing Mount Richon living room. We size to the room, the aspect and the insulation rather than a one-size guess.
Much of the established housing stock around Mount Richon is older brick-and-tile, and a good share of those homes still run original or near-full switchboards. Because Otter Air is dual-licensed for both air conditioning and electrical, we can add the dedicated circuit, upgrade the board or sort the isolator in the one visit - no juggling a separate sparky and no surprise follow-up bill. On the larger foothills blocks, we also plan for longer line runs between the outdoor condenser and the indoor head so airflow and refrigerant charge stay correct.
Typical jobs we see here are a single split for a master or main living area, a tired old unit swapped out for a quiet, efficient modern model, and multi-head setups for the bigger or split-level homes closer to the scarp. Whatever the layout, our split system installation Mount Richon work is tidy, fully compliant and quoted up front, with the brackets, drainage and condensate run done properly the first time.
