Split System Aircon From a Local Crew That Works Your Streets Weekly
We are a family-owned team with ten years across Greater Adelaide, and we are in Windsor Gardens most weeks. Every split job runs under our full ARC refrigeration licence, one crew start to finish.
In detail
What a Split System Actually Is
A split system has two halves. The indoor head mounts high on a wall inside, and the outdoor unit sits outside, connected by refrigerant pipes and cabling through a small wall penetration.
Reverse-cycle models run both ways. They cool in summer and heat in winter, which makes them a genuine year-round system for an Adelaide climate that swings from 40-degree days to cold nights.
Why older homes suit them. Nothing but pipes and cable runs through the house, so installation is far less invasive than ducted air conditioning. That is the whole reason it suits older homes.
Windsor Gardens Air Conditioning installs Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, Fujitsu and ActronAir, and we match the model to the room, not the brochure.

Why Splits Suit the Housing Mix Here
This suburb was built by the South Australian Housing Trust from the early 1950s, with 675 Trust homes completed by the mid-1960s, and the housing stock still shapes every system choice here:
Trust Cottages
The original prefabricated cottages have wall cavities and iron roof lines that leave no room for ducting. A high-wall split serving the living area is usually the honest answer, mounted clear of the original linings.
Brick-Veneer Builds
Replacement brick and brick-veneer detached homes take splits easily and often carry two, one for living and one for the bedrooms. Reverse-cycle heads then cover winter heating in the same footprint.
Eastern Infill
The eastern side of the suburb came later, built out from the 1960s onward, and ongoing infill keeps adding semi-detached and courtyard homes. Compact outdoor units suit those tighter blocks when airflow and neighbour noise are planned up front.
Running costs
Reverse Cycle Running Costs Across the Adelaide Year
Adelaide's summer is hot and dry, with consecutive days over 40 in a heatwave, and a correctly sized split cycles through that load without fighting it. Winter matters just as much, because reverse-cycle heating replaces or offsets gas and electric heaters.
Running cost comes down to a few things we check before quoting:
Sizing
Star ratings
Room-by-room control
Filter condition
If you want the cheapest possible summer running cost and can work with windows open, evaporative cooling is the other Adelaide option, though it does not heat.
How it works
Split System Installation, Start to Finish
From the first look at your wall to the final commissioning test, the job runs the same way every time, and you know the full price before anyone drills a hole:
- 01
Inspect and Size
We measure the rooms, check the switchboard and look at where the outdoor unit can sit with real airflow. Room size, insulation and window aspect set the capacity, not guesswork.
- 02
Quote Fixed Upfront
You get a fixed quote covering the unit, brackets, pipe runs, electrical connection and clean-up. Nothing starts until you have seen the figure and agreed to it.
- 03
Install and Mount
Most single-unit jobs finish in a day. We mount the indoor head, run the pipes and cabling, set the outdoor unit on a level base and tidy up as we go.
- 04
Commission and Test
We vacuum the lines, test for leaks, commission the system and walk you through the controls before we leave. Nothing is signed off until it is running properly.

Split System FAQs
How much does a split system cost to install?
The price depends on the unit size, wall construction and pipe run, so we inspect first and quote a fixed figure covering the unit, the install and the clean-up before work starts.
Can a split system heat my home in winter?
Yes, a reverse-cycle split heats as well as cools, and it handles Adelaide's genuinely cold winter nights efficiently, which is why we recommend it over cooling-only models for most homes.
Will a split work in an original Trust cottage?
Yes. Those prefabricated cottages were built with wall cavities too tight for ducting, so a high-wall unit serving the living area is usually the practical choice, and we mount it without damaging linings.
How long does a split system installation take?
A single high-wall unit is typically a one-day job, including mounting, pipe runs, vacuuming the lines and commissioning, so your lounge is cool the same evening in most cases.
Which split system brands do you install?
We install Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, Fujitsu and ActronAir, and we match the model to your room size, budget and running-cost expectations rather than pushing whichever unit is on special.
