Split System Heating & Cooling Installation
Licensed installation, removal, and servicing of split system air conditioners for Snowy Mountains homes. Stay comfortable year-round with efficient heating and cooling.
Perfect for Snowy Mountains Climate
Efficient Winter Heating
Modern split systems provide efficient heating down to -15°C. More cost-effective than electric resistive heating for Jindabyne's cold winters.
Summer Cooling
While Snowy Mountains summers are mild, split systems provide comfortable cooling during hot days (25-30°C) common in January and February.
Zoned Climate Control
Heat or cool only the rooms you're using. Perfect for holiday homes where you don't need to climate control the entire property.
Lower Running Costs
Split systems use 1/3 the energy of electric panel heaters. Significant savings during long Snowy Mountains winters.

Choosing the Right Size for Alpine Homes
Alpine Climate Considerations
Snowy Mountains properties require larger systems than equivalent homes in Sydney due to:
- Extreme temperature range: -10°C to +30°C seasonal variation
- High ceilings: Common in alpine architecture
- Large open-plan areas: Harder to heat efficiently
- Poor insulation: Many older alpine properties
Recommended Sizes
Small bedroom (12-16m²): 2.5-3.5kW
Large bedroom (16-25m²): 3.5-5.0kW
Living area (25-40m²): 5.0-7.0kW
Open-plan living (40-60m²): 7.0-9.0kW
Large spaces (60m²+): Multi-split or ducted system

Split System FAQs for Alpine Properties
Will a split system work in Jindabyne's cold winters?
Yes. Modern split systems work efficiently down to -15°C. Jindabyne winter temperatures typically range from -5°C to 10°C, well within operating range.
Can snow damage the outdoor unit?
Outdoor units are weather-rated for snow and ice. We mount them on elevated brackets to prevent snow accumulation and ensure proper drainage.
How much does installation cost?
Typical installation ranges from $2,200 to $4,500 depending on system size and installation complexity. Holiday homes may require additional electrical work (safety switches, circuit upgrades).
Do I need council approval?
Generally no for residential properties, but some strata/body corporate complexes require approval. We check requirements for you.
How often should I service the system?
We recommend annual servicing before winter. Regular cleaning maintains efficiency and prevents mould buildup in damp alpine conditions.
Can I run it on solar power?
Yes. A typical split system uses 0.8-2.5kW, easily powered by a 6.6kW solar system. Perfect for reducing winter heating costs during sunny alpine days.
