Why Craigieburn Homes Need a Quality Split System
Craigieburn sits in Melbourne’s northern growth corridor, where summer temperatures regularly push past 38°C and winter nights can drop close to freezing. Newer estates in Craigieburn Heights and Highlands feature large open-plan living areas that absorb heat quickly without adequate climate control — and older stock closer to the town centre is no different. A correctly sized reverse cycle split system handles both extremes in a single unit, keeping running costs manageable while delivering genuine comfort year-round. As one of Melbourne’s fastest-growing suburbs, Craigieburn has seen a surge in new homes and small commercial tenancies, many of which were handed over without air conditioning installed. Getting the right system from day one — properly sized, professionally installed, and eligible for available rebates — saves money both upfront and on every power bill that follows.
Single Head Split System Installation in Craigieburn
One indoor unit paired with one outdoor compressor. It’s the most straightforward and cost-effective way to bring reliable heating and cooling to a specific room — a master bedroom, a home office, a retail counter area, or a compact apartment. Our single head split system installation service covers the full job: supply, installation, commissioning, and handover. For most standard Craigieburn rooms, a single head system is all that’s needed and delivers excellent results when sized correctly.
Our Split System Installation Craigieburn Process
We begin with a free in-home assessment — measuring the room, checking ceiling height, insulation, window orientation, and sun load to calculate the exact capacity your space requires. From there we recommend the right unit and brand for your budget, with no upselling. On installation day, our licensed technician handles everything: mounting the indoor head, positioning the outdoor compressor, running and concealing pipe work, making electrical connections, pressure-testing the refrigerant circuit, and commissioning the system. Before we leave, we walk you through the controls and confirm everything is running to specification. Most single head installs in Craigieburn are completed within three to four hours.
Multi Head Split System Installation Craigieburn
If you need climate control across two or more rooms — say a lounge, two bedrooms, and a study in a growing Craigieburn family home — a multi head system connects several indoor units to a single outdoor compressor. Each zone runs independently at its own temperature setting, so a teenager’s bedroom doesn’t have to match the living room. You keep the exterior of your home tidy with just one outdoor unit, and you avoid the higher cost and ceiling-space requirements of a full ducted system. Learn more about multi head split system installation in Melbourne and how it compares for larger homes.
What We Do for Multi Head Installs
We design the entire system around your floor plan — calculating the combined load, selecting the right capacity outdoor unit to support all indoor heads simultaneously, and sizing each indoor unit for its individual room. We manage the full installation from first fixing to final commissioning, including all refrigerant work performed by our ARCtick licensed technician. You receive a single quoted price covering every component of the job.
Single Head vs Multi Head vs Ducted in Craigieburn
Choosing between system types depends on how many rooms you need to cool, your budget, and your home’s layout. Here’s a plain-language summary.
Single Head
Ideal for one room or open-plan zone. The most affordable entry point and perfectly effective when the space is assessed and sized correctly.
Multi Head
The right fit for two or more rooms where independent temperature control matters and you want to avoid cluttering the exterior with multiple outdoor units.
Ducted
A whole-home solution with all components concealed in the ceiling cavity. Higher upfront investment, but delivers seamless, consistent climate control across every room in larger Craigieburn homes.

Split System Brands We Install in Craigieburn
We install split systems from Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, Fujitsu, Panasonic, LG, and Samsung across Craigieburn and surrounding suburbs. Daikin remains a strong all-round performer for residential use and carries an excellent reliability record. Mitsubishi Electric’s Zen series is a popular choice for bedrooms where low noise levels matter. Fujitsu’s high wall units offer a compact profile well-suited to smaller rooms in townhouses. Panasonic and LG deliver competitive energy star ratings for cost-conscious buyers. Samsung’s WindFree technology is worth considering for open-plan areas where direct airflow is unwanted. During your quote we’ll walk you through which brand and model best matches your space, usage pattern, and budget — without steering you toward a higher margin option you don’t need.
Why Choose Pergz Air for Split System Installation in Craigieburn
Fixed, Upfront Pricing
You receive a complete written quote before any work begins. The price you’re quoted is the price you pay — no variation charges, no after-the-fact additions for materials or access.
Correctly Sized Every Time
Oversized units short-cycle and leave rooms feeling clammy; undersized units run continuously and still fall short on the hottest Craigieburn days. We calculate the right capacity for every room before recommending a single unit.
Licensed Refrigeration Technician
All refrigerant handling and electrical connections are performed by our ARCtick licensed technician — not a labourer or subcontractor. Licensing protects your warranty and your safety.
VEU Rebate Assistance
Eligible Craigieburn households can access Victorian Energy Upgrades rebates that meaningfully reduce the net cost of a new split system. We’ll confirm your eligibility at the quoting stage so you’re not leaving money on the table.
Tidy, Considered Installations
Pipe runs are planned to follow natural lines and concealed where practical. Penetrations are sealed, brackets are level, and we leave the site clean. The finished job should look like it belongs there.
Frequently Asked Questions — Split System Installation Craigieburn
How long does a split system installation take in Craigieburn?
A standard single head installation in Craigieburn typically takes between two and four hours from arrival to handover, assuming straightforward wall access and no unusual electrical requirements. Multi head systems covering three or more rooms will generally take a full day.
What size split system do I need for my room?
System capacity is measured in kilowatts and depends on floor area, ceiling height, insulation quality, window size and orientation, and how much direct sun the room receives. A 20 m² bedroom in Craigieburn will generally suit a 2.5 kW unit, while a large open-plan living and dining area may require 6–8 kW or more. We calculate this precisely at your free assessment rather than offering a rough guess.
Do I need council approval to install a split system in Craigieburn?
In most cases, no. Residential split system installations in Craigieburn that meet standard setback requirements from property boundaries do not require a planning permit under the Hume City Council guidelines. However, if your property is heritage-listed or falls within a specific overlay zone, additional checks may apply. We’ll flag this during the assessment if relevant.
Can I get a VEU rebate on a replacement split system in Craigieburn?
Yes, in many cases. The Victorian Energy Upgrades program covers both new installations and replacements of older, inefficient systems with higher-rated reverse cycle units. Eligibility depends on the existing system type and the efficiency rating of the replacement. Rebate values vary but can reduce your out-of-pocket cost by several hundred dollars. We confirm eligibility at the quoting stage so you know exactly where you stand before committing.
How much does split system installation cost in Craigieburn?
Supply and installation of a single head system in Craigieburn typically ranges from around $1,400 to $2,800 depending on the unit capacity, brand, and installation complexity. A second-storey installation or a run through a brick cavity wall will sit toward the higher end. Multi head systems start from approximately $3,500 for a two-zone setup. All figures include GST, and every quote from Pergz Air is fixed — what we quote is what you pay. See how our pricing compares for other Melbourne suburbs.
What warranty is included with a new split system installation in Craigieburn?
Manufacturer warranties on the units we install typically range from five to seven years depending on the brand, with some Daikin and Mitsubishi Electric models carrying extended warranties when registered online after installation. Our workmanship — covering the installation itself — is also warranted. We’ll confirm the specific warranty terms for your chosen unit at the time of quote so there are no ambiguities later.
