A more comfortable room starts with the right installation
A bedroom that holds the afternoon heat or a living room that never feels warm enough can make home uncomfortable. BHPS helps Melbourne homeowners plan split system air conditioning installation around the rooms they actually use. You do not need to know the model or capacity before getting in touch. Start with the space and what you want to improve.
Thinking about a split system?
- You want heating or cooling in a bedroom, living area or home office.
- You are comparing split systems and want to understand the installation before buying.
- You are planning a replacement and need to know whether the existing setup can be reused.
What’s the next step?
Call BHPS or send a message with your suburb, the room you have in mind and whether there is an existing air conditioner. Photos of the proposed indoor and outdoor locations can help if you can take them safely. Include any model you are considering, but there is no need to choose one first. We will confirm availability for your location and discuss the next step.
Air Conditioning Installation in Melbourne
There is more to installing an air conditioner than choosing a spot on the wall. The indoor unit needs to distribute air through the room, while the outdoor unit needs suitable space and access. BHPS helps you plan these details together, including pipework, drainage and electrical requirements, before the work begins.
A system suited to the space
We discuss the rooms you use, their layout and how you want them to feel. Floor area, ceiling height, glazing and insulation all help inform the choice of capacity.
Thoughtful indoor unit placement
A convenient wall is not always the best location. We consider airflow, furniture and access for cleaning, along with where you sit, sleep or work.
Outdoor placement and pipework
The outdoor location affects the pipe route, available airflow and access for future maintenance. We explain the proposed position and any mounting or access requirements.
Drainage planned from the start
Cooling produces condensation that needs a suitable drain route. We consider where that water will go as part of the installation, not as an afterthought.
Electrical requirements made clear
The power supply needs to suit the selected unit. We explain any electrical work that needs to be allowed for and confirm the arrangements before installation.
From Your First Question to a Working Split System
Tell us where you want more comfort
We discuss the room, how you use it and any existing system. If you already have a model in mind, we check what needs considering before you go ahead.
Agree on the installation and quote
We consider unit placement, pipework, drainage, access and electrical requirements. You can review the proposed work, inclusions and any separate arrangements before approving it.
Install, check and get familiar with the controls
The agreed installation is completed and checked. We explain the controls and everyday care, including filter cleaning, so you know how to use the system.
Comfort That Fits the Way You Use Your Home
Think about the bedroom on a hot night, a cold home office or the living area where everyone gathers. A split system is a way to bring heating or cooling to the space that needs it.
Comfort where it makes a difference
Start with the room that is hardest to enjoy in hot or cold weather, rather than assuming every room needs the same solution.
Heating and cooling from one unit
A reverse-cycle model offers both functions. Compare its heating and cooling performance for your room when choosing a system for year-round use.
Feel confident using your system
Get familiar with the operating modes, temperature settings and filter care, so everyday use feels straightforward from the start.

Air Conditioning Installation FAQs
Practical questions about air conditioning installation, assessment and the next step.
How much does split system installation cost in Melbourne?
The cost depends on the selected unit and the work needed at your property. Pipe length, mounting, drainage, electrical work and access can all affect the quote. Tell BHPS about the room and any system you are considering so we can explain the installation requirements and what is included before you commit.
What size split system do I need?
Room size is a starting point, not the whole answer. Ceiling height, windows, sun exposure, insulation and adjoining spaces also affect heating and cooling needs. BHPS can help you assess the room before settling on a unit, rather than relying on floor area alone.
Where should the indoor and outdoor units go?
The indoor unit needs a position that allows air to move through the room without being blocked by furniture. The outdoor unit needs suitable airflow and access. The two positions also need to work with the pipework, drainage and power supply, so they are best planned together.
Can I choose or buy an air conditioner before getting a quote?
It is worth discussing the installation first. If you already have a model in mind, send BHPS its details and your proposed location. We can discuss suitability and confirm the installation arrangements, including whether supply is part of the quote, before you purchase or book the work.
Can a split system heat as well as cool?
A reverse-cycle split system can provide both heating and cooling. Cooling-only models do not provide both functions, so check the selected model. The right capacity and placement still depend on the room you want to make comfortable.
Can an existing split system be replaced in the same position?
Possibly, but the existing setup needs checking against the new unit. The mounting, pipework, drainage and electrical supply may need changes. If you are planning a replacement, share the current model and photos so BHPS can discuss what needs assessing before the new system is chosen.
What should I check before installing a split system in a unit or townhouse?
Check any owners corporation requirements before work that affects the outside of the building or common property. Outdoor unit location, noise, pipe routes and installation access may also need discussion. Let BHPS know about the building and any approval requirements when you enquire.
How long does an air conditioning installation take?
Timing depends on access, the unit locations, pipework and any electrical work. A straightforward installation and a job needing new access or electrical supply work should not be assumed to take the same time. We can discuss the likely schedule once the installation requirements are understood.
What information should I send for an installation enquiry?
Your suburb, the room you want to heat or cool and whether a system is already installed are a useful start. Include the model if you have chosen one and photos of accessible indoor and outdoor locations. BHPS will confirm availability and discuss what needs checking before a quote can be finalised.
