Planning a Split System Installation in Melbourne’s South East
Planning air conditioning for your home or business? A useful quote starts with the space you want to heat or cool, the installation location and the electrical work involved. Advanced South East Electrics installs split system air conditioning across Melbourne’s south east.
What to send with your quote request
Tell us your suburb, whether the property is a home or business, and which rooms you want to heat or cool. Include approximate room dimensions, ceiling height, a few photos and any preferred installation timing. If you already have a unit, send the brand and model number. Let us know whether this is a new installation or a replacement.
Choosing a suitable system
Room size is only one part of the decision. Windows, insulation, shading and how the room is used can affect the system you need. Discuss these details before buying a unit. When comparing suitable models, check the Zoned Energy Rating Label and compare heating and cooling performance for your climate.
What affects installation cost?
The quote depends on the unit, the positions of the indoor and outdoor equipment, access, pipework and drainage, and the electrical supply. A straightforward replacement may have a different scope from a first installation or a job involving extra electrical work. Photos help with an initial discussion, but a site assessment may be needed before the scope and price are confirmed.
Does the switchboard need upgrading?
An upgrade is not automatically needed for every air conditioner. The existing switchboard, available capacity and requirements of the proposed unit need to be assessed. If electrical changes are required, ask for them to be clearly identified in the quote. We can also help with switchboard upgrades and general electrical work.
