Air Conditioning Tips for Melbourne

Melbourne needs both heating and cooling — reverse-cycle split systems handle both

Gas ducted heating is common in older homes but electric heat pumps are increasingly popular

Book pre-summer service in September to avoid peak-season wait times

Air conditioning in Melbourne starts from $130. A split system supply and install averages $2400. Prices include GST. Most installations include a manufacturer warranty plus installer workmanship guarantee.

Split systems are ideal for cooling one or two rooms and cost $1800–$3200 installed. Ducted systems cool the whole home but cost significantly more. For multiple rooms without ductwork, a multi-split system is a good middle ground.

A standard split system installation takes 3–5 hours. Multi-split systems take 1–2 days. Ducted systems typically require 2–5 days depending on the size of the home and whether new ductwork is needed. Book well ahead of summer for the best availability and pricing.

Running costs depend on the system size, efficiency rating, and usage. A typical split system costs $0.30–$0.80 per hour to run. Higher star ratings and inverter technology significantly reduce running costs. Regular servicing maintains efficiency and keeps running costs down.
