SPLIT SYSTEMS

Split System Air Conditioning Melbourne

Wall-mounted reverse-cycle split systems for bedrooms, living areas and home offices — sized, supplied and installed by Cold Bear across Melbourne’s east.

A split system has one indoor unit on the wall and one outdoor unit outside, connected by refrigerant pipes. It heats and cools a single room or open-plan zone, and modern inverter models are among the most efficient ways to do it.

We install split systems from Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Fujitsu, and size each one with a heat-load calculation for the actual room — not a guess from floor area.

Is it right for your home?

Best for

  • Bedrooms, studies and living rooms
  • Homes without roof space for ducting
  • Fixing one or two rooms that are always too hot or cold
  • Replacing an old wall heater or window unit

Worth considering

  • One indoor unit per room — several rooms means several units, or a multi-split
  • The indoor unit is visible on the wall
  • Each outdoor unit needs a suitable, serviceable spot outside

Split system questions

What size split system do I need?

It depends on the room size, ceiling height, insulation, windows and which way the room faces — a sunny west-facing living room needs more capacity than a shaded bedroom of the same size. We measure on site and run a heat-load calculation before recommending a model.

How long does installation take?

A straightforward installation, with the outdoor unit close behind the indoor unit, is often finished within a day. Longer pipe runs, two-storey homes or electrical upgrades take longer — we tell you upfront.

Are split systems cheap to run?

Modern inverter split systems are among the most efficient ways to heat and cool a single room. Running costs depend on the model’s energy rating, the room and how you use it — we compare options for you when we quote.

Do you service and repair split systems?

Yes — we service and repair all major brands, whether or not we installed them.
