Which Split System Installation Suits Your Home?

Start with the room you want to air condition and the space available outside. This comparison explains the main options and what needs to be checked before choosing a layout.

Swipe or scroll sideways to compare all columns.

Installation option When it may suit Outdoor unit position What needs checking
Back-to-back The indoor unit can sit on a wall with outdoor space directly behind it. Usually on a suitable base near the other side of the wall. Wall access, pipe length, drainage and power supply.
Back-to-back with brackets Ground space is limited or wall mounting is preferred. Supported on brackets fixed to a suitable external wall. Wall suitability, airflow, vibration and service access.
Side entry Pipework needs to leave the side of the indoor unit. In a suitable location reached by the selected pipe route. Visible pipe cover, route length and drainage.
Double-storey An upstairs room needs air conditioning or installation access is more involved. Assessed for the property; potentially at ground level or on suitable supports. Height difference, pipe route, drainage and safe access.

Back to Back Air Con Installation

A back-to-back installation places the indoor unit on the inside face of an external wall, with the outdoor unit nearby on the other side. Connecting pipework and cabling pass through an opening in the wall.

This arrangement can provide a straightforward route between the units and keep visible pipework relatively compact.

Our standard back-to-back installation package includes:

  • 3m of piping
  • 15m of electrical wiring (for units 3.5kw and above)
  • 1 x 2m length of pipe cover.

Any additional materials required beyond these amounts will be subject to an extra cost.

Back to Back Installation With Brackets

Wall brackets support the outdoor unit above ground level rather than placing it on a base below.

This can be an option where outdoor floor space is limited or where a raised position better suits the property.

Reasons you may need a back-to-back installation with brackets:

  • Space constraints
  • Security concerns
  • Aesthetic preference

Talk to us about our back-to-back brackets for a customised solution.

Side Entry Installation

A side-entry installation routes the connecting pipework from the left or right side of the indoor unit instead of taking it directly through the wall behind.

This can provide more flexibility where the preferred indoor position does not line up with a straightforward route outdoors.

Double Storey Air Con Installation

Installing air conditioning upstairs requires planning around both the indoor position and access to the outdoor unit.

The outdoor unit does not automatically need to go on the roof. Depending on the property and selected system, another suitable position may be available.

Additional pipework, wiring, and bracketing are required due to increased distance between indoor and outdoor units.

Some points we will discuss for your double storey installation:

  • What space are you looking to condition, upper or lower floor?
  • Do you need multiple units?
  • Outdoor unit location & power supply route from switchboard

    Split System Installation FAQs

    Frequently Asked Questions

    It may be possible, but a suitable route is needed for pipework, cabling and drainage. The wall position alone does not establish whether the installation will work.

    Send us photos of the room and explain where you would like the unit. We can discuss what needs assessment.

    No. A nearby position on the other side of the wall is common for back-to-back installations, but other layouts may be possible.

    The available route and the selected model’s installation requirements determine how far apart the units can be positioned.

    No. Side entry describes where the pipework leaves the indoor unit. It can be used in different layouts, including some where the indoor unit sits on an external wall.

    An internal-wall installation needs assessment of the complete route to a suitable outdoor location.

    Potentially. This depends on the property, access, pipe route and the selected system’s permitted pipe length and height difference.

    Ground-level placement should be assessed alongside the other available mounting options.

    An installation may fall outside the standard allowance when it needs extra materials, a different mounting arrangement, more involved access or additional electrical or drainage work.

    A non-standard installation is not necessarily unsuitable. It needs a quote that reflects the actual work.

    A straightforward single-system installation can often be completed within a day. The time needed depends on the layout, access, electrical work and whether an existing unit needs removal.

    Ask for an estimated duration when booking so you can plan access to the property.
