SINGLE SPLIT AIR CONDITIONING PRICES
A single split system uses one outdoor unit paired with one indoor unit, making it the most straightforward and cost-effective way to cool or heat a single room.

MULTI SPLIT SYSTEM PRICES
If you want air conditioning in more than one room, a multi-split system lets a single outdoor unit power up to five indoor units. Because every property, room layout and cooling requirement is different, multi-split installations are priced individually - we always recommend a free site survey so we can design a system that's properly sized for your home.
Multi Split Air Conditioning Units
A multi-split air conditioner is a variation of the split air conditioner that can cool multiple rooms simultaneously. Unlike a traditional split air conditioner that has one compressor and air outlet, a multi-split air conditioner features up to five air outlets connected to a single compressor.
This type of system allows for the installation of multiple indoor units that can be mounted on walls, floors, or ceilings, offering greater flexibility in terms of installation options.
The use of a single outdoor compressor unit to power multiple indoor air outlets results in higher energy efficiency, as compared to running multiple separate air conditioners.
FULL CAPACITY OR ZONAL CAPACITY SYSTEM?
Multi Split System - Outdoor Units
When designing a multi-split air conditioning system, there are different ways the outdoor unit can be sized in relation to the combined capacity of the indoor units.
The right approach depends on how the rooms are expected to be used and whether maximum heating or cooling capacity is likely to be required in every room at the same time.res.
FULL CAPACITY SYSTEM
Think of this as a “no compromise” setup.
The outdoor unit is sized with enough capacity to run every indoor unit at 100% at the same time. This is
ideal where you expect every room to require maximum heating or cooling simultaneously.
For example, if three rooms are regularly occupied at the same time and all three need to reach their target temperature quickly, a full-capacity configuration provides the outdoor unit with enough capacity to meet the combined demand.
This approach can provide maximum available capacity across all zones, although the system may require a larger outdoor unit than a zonal configuration.
ZONAL CAPACITY SYSTEM
A zonal configuration takes a different approach.
The outdoor unit is sized slightly below the combined maximum capacity of all the indoor units, based on the assumption that it is unusual for every room to require maximum heating or cooling at exactly the same time.
For example, during the day you might primarily use the living room, while in the evening the bedrooms become the main areas requiring heating or cooling.
The system intelligently distributes the available capacity between the indoor units that are operating, directing more capacity towards the areas where it is needed.
Importantly, all of the indoor units can still operate at the same time. If all three rooms are switched on together, the system will not overload or simply shut down because the combined indoor capacity is greater than the outdoor unit's maximum output.
Instead, the outdoor unit operates at its maximum available capacity and the system manages how that capacity is distributed between the indoor units.
If every room is demanding maximum output simultaneously, each indoor unit may therefore receive less than its individual maximum capacity. As a result, it can take slightly longer for all rooms to reach their target temperatures.
