Air Conditioner Installation

Quick answer: Freeze Please installs split system, multi-head and ducted reverse-cycle air conditioners for homes and businesses across South East Melbourne. Every installation starts with an on-site assessment, so the system is sized for the space, positioned for quiet and efficient running, and installed by licensed technicians.

Which type of air conditioner suits your property?

• Split system: one indoor unit connected to one outdoor unit. Ideal for living areas, bedrooms and home offices.
• Multi-head split system: several indoor units running from one outdoor unit. Useful for townhouses and units where outdoor space is limited.
• Ducted reverse-cycle: one concealed system that heats and cools the whole home through ceiling vents, and can be zoned.
• Commercial systems: cassette, ducted and VRF systems for offices, shops and hospitality venues. See commercial air conditioning installation.

Why correct sizing matters

An undersized air conditioner runs flat out and still can’t hold the temperature on hot days. An oversized one switches on and off too often, wastes energy and can leave rooms feeling clammy because it doesn’t run long enough to remove humidity.

We size each system by measuring the space and considering ceiling height, insulation, window size and orientation, and how the room is used, rather than relying on a rule of thumb.

Our installation process

1. On-site assessment and a written quote.
2. Agreeing the position of the indoor and outdoor units, considering airflow, noise, drainage, service access and appearance.
3. Installing the units and connecting the refrigerant pipework, power and condensate drain.
4. Pressure testing and evacuating the refrigerant lines to remove air and moisture before the system is started.
5. Commissioning: testing cooling and heating, then showing you how to use the controller and clean the filters.

What affects the cost of installation

• The type and capacity of the system.
• The brand and model, including its energy efficiency rating.
• The length of the pipe run between the indoor and outdoor units.
• Access, such as two-storey walls, roof spaces or hard-to-reach outdoor locations.
• Whether your switchboard has capacity for the new system.
• Removal and disposal of an old system.

We provide a written quote after assessing your property, so you know the cost before work starts.

Looking after your new air conditioner

Clean the indoor unit’s filters every few weeks during heavy use, keep the outdoor unit clear of plants and stored items, and book a professional service once a year to keep the system efficient and protect your warranty.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a split system installation take?

A standard back-to-back split system installation usually takes around half a day. Long pipe runs, two-storey access or multiple units take longer, and we’ll confirm the expected time in your quote.

What size air conditioner do I need?

It depends on the room’s floor area, ceiling height, insulation, window size and orientation. We calculate the size on site so the system is neither undersized nor oversized.

Is reverse-cycle air conditioning good for heating?

Yes. Reverse-cycle systems are one of the most efficient ways to heat a home because they move heat rather than generate it, delivering several units of heat for each unit of electricity used.
