How Split System Installations are Quoted
1) Basic Back-to-Back Pricing
Back-to-back means when it’s possible to position the outside unit of the split system directly behind the inside unit (just separated by a wall).
In this scenario, less material is needed as both units are close to each other. So for a professional install, you would be paying for:
- 3m of quality insulated copper pipe
- Quality plastic covering for the insulated copper pipes
- 4 rubber legs for the outdoor unit to keep it off the ground and stop vibration on the concrete
- All units moisture vacuumed for best performance
- All units pressure tested for no leaks
- Labour time for a qualified installer with proper tools
- Your house is left clean and tidy.
2) Not Back-to-Back Pricing
This pricing is for when the design of your home or office doesn’t allow for the outdoor unit to be placed directly behind the inside unit.
This could be due to space constraints, noise or purely looks and because of that needs to be placed on the roof, wall-mounted or around a corner.
In this scenario, all the points listed above are true plus the following:
- The further away the outside unit is from the inside unit, the more the installation will cost as materials such as pipes and covers are charged by the metre.
- Accessibility also affects the quote. For example, a 2 storey house is more expensive as equipment needs to be lifted into place and fitted.
- Air-conditioners create moisture and therefore drainage always needs to be considered. This can mean some places for installation are not practical or require much more significant labour and materials to complete.
- All our units are fitted by professional air conditioning installers
