Who can install the split system?
The split system installation must be performed by a licensed technician.
According to the Australian Refrigeration Council (ARC), all installers and technicians are required to hold either a full Refrigeration & Air Conditioning license or a restricted license that lets them only install split system air conditioners.
This means you can get the installation done by a plumber, electrician, or specialist air con installer, as long as they are licensed to handle refrigerants.
At Total Electrics & Air-Conditioning, we specialize in assessing our clients’ individual needs to determine the best quality cooling systems for residential and commercial properties in the Eastern and South-Eastern suburbs of Air Conditioning Melbourne. Whether you are looking to purchase a split system, a ducted air-conditioning system, or anything in between, Total Electrics & Air-Conditioning should be your first point of call, for high-quality air conditioning installation Melbourne residents can trust.

What is the best air conditioning wattage for me?
Residential air conditioner
Residential properties require lower wattage air-conditioning systems than commercial properties due to the decreased space and smaller rooms. As a guide, a small bedroom in a home should use 0-4kw, a medium room should use 4-7.1kw, and a larger space, such as a lounge room, should use 7.1-10kw.
Commercial air conditioner
Commercial spaces require a higher wattage due to their larger size. Though a higher wattage will result in higher consumption of power and increased maintenance costs, it is necessary to circulate and ventilate air-conditioning in larger spaces.
