Split system installation in Baxter

Baxter is the semi-rural pocket where Peninsula Link ends and Baxter-Tooradin Road starts - the interchange at the Moorooduc Highway exit puts the suburb 12 minutes off our Botanic Ridge base and makes it one of the quickest runs we do. The suburb straddles two zones: the township core around Baxter-Tooradin Road runs on a standard residential zoning, while the surrounding blocks are Green Wedge and Rural Living, which means 2 to 8 hectare properties with restrictions on subdivision and dwelling numbers. Practically that means most of our Baxter jobs are on properties large enough to have a house, a shed or stable, and often a granny flat or converted barn, and the install brief is usually a multi-head system across the main house plus a separate single split for the outbuilding. The old Baxter–Frankston rail corridor runs east-west through the suburb - it's now the Peninsula Link Trail bike path - and properties backing that corridor have a 30-metre offset from any dwelling, so the outdoor unit placement on those blocks is naturally straightforward. Baxter housing spans older cream brick 1970s farmhouses that need a switchboard upgrade to modern AS 3000, through to newer 2010s architect-designed homes on the smaller township lots that come with three-phase already provisioned. We check the switchboard before quoting on anything pre-1985 because the porcelain-fuse boards up here often can't take a 5kW plus starting load.

Semi-rural south-east, no real coast, hot summers, cool nights

Why Baxter homeowners choose Bellair

Baxter is about twelve kilometres south-west of our Botanic Ridge base - a short, local run. The work here is longer runs on the rural-residential blocks, cooling the odd shed or studio, conventional fits near the township, switchboard upgrades on the older homes, and sizing for both heating and cooling. Matt holds ARCtick licence AU 55218 with 28 years in the trade, so the refrigerant work is by the book. Every install carries the full manufacturer warranty plus our 7-year workmanship warranty. We fit Mitsubishi Electric, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, Samsung, Haier and LG, and we'll match the system to the property rather than push a brand. Fixed price agreed before we start.

What's included in your Baxter install

A Baxter install includes supply of your chosen unit, fitting to AS/NZS 3000, neat back-to-back or routed pipework, condensate drainage, electrical connection, old unit removal and recycling, commissioning and clean-up. On the rural-residential blocks we allow time for the longer runs a spread-out home or shed needs, and we check the older switchboards carry a modern load. It's all in the fixed price agreed up front, with any upgrade flagged before you commit.

Matt and his team are exceptional. I sent a message Saturday morning, I received a text message and a phone call, and a site visit by 11am. I am not use to such high customer service. Matt tried to have my install done asap as we had no heating. Install was also exceptional, as his pricing and quality of install and removal of old unit is beyond expectations. Was not an easy job but his quote was so honest and fair. I can hardly notice the outside cabling (first photo). He was also so polite, professional and caring. Thank you Matt and team. Will contact shortly for further split systems install. I will only contact your company in the future. Also, your system recommendation has been amazing. Many, many thanks for everything.

Communication with Matt was seamless and transparent. He came to inspect my place prior for a quick chat and to issue an estimated quote not long after. We eventually had a date fixed for two units to be installed. One required replacement of the previous old unit (included removal from property), and the second required a new hole to be drilled for installation. Matt and his team took roughly 3.5-4h. They were immaculate with their work! They left my place decently clean. I would have to say that this was the best customer service that I have had. Everything was discussed clearly, and my questions were addressed appropriately by Matt. I would highly recommended them if you are still considering! Thank you very much, Matt and your boys!

We recently had Samsung multi-head, multi-room split reverse cycle air conditioners installed throughout our home by Bellair, and we could not be happier with the outcome. Matt and his team completed the installation to the highest workmanship standards, with exceptional attention to detail and immaculate quality throughout the entire project. The finished result looks incredibly neat, professional, and well thought out. What truly stood out was Matt’s professionalism and communication at every stage of the installation. He kept us informed throughout the process, demonstrated outstanding competence and technical expertise, and delivered a flawless end result. It is clear that Matt and his team genuinely take pride in their work and customer satisfaction. I would highly recommend Bellair to anyone looking for high-quality air conditioning installation services.

Highly recommend Bellair! Matt and the team installed a ducted heating and cooling system at my clinic in Frankston and the whole experience was fantastic from start to finish. Professional, reliable, great communication, and the quality of work was excellent. Matt was an absolute pleasure to deal with and made the whole process so easy. Could not be happier with the result!

Matt did an excellent job installing our new Mitsubishi Electric heating and cooling system. He was professional, punctual, and took the time to explain everything clearly. The installation was completed to a high standard, and the work area was left clean and tidy. We're very happy with the result and appreciate the added peace of mind from the 5-year Mitsubishi Electric manufacturer warranty and 7-year Bellair workmanship warranty. Highly recommend Matt and the Bellair team.

FAQ

Common Questions About Split Systems

Most of our fixed-price split system installs fall between $1,690 and $1,890, depending on the unit, the size of the room and how the pipework needs to run. You get the all-inclusive price up front before we start — no surprises.
As a rough guide, a small bedroom suits a 2.5kW unit, a typical living room 5–6kW, and a large open-plan space 7kW or more. We measure properly during the site visit and size honestly so the system isn't over- or under-powered.
A standard single-head split system is usually done in 3–4 hours. Multi-head systems and trickier pipe runs can take most of a day. We'll give you a realistic time frame with your quote.
We supply and install Australia's most trusted brands — Mitsubishi Electric, Fujitsu, Haier, Samsung, Toshiba, Panasonic and LG. Every unit comes with a full manufacturer warranty plus our own 7-year workmanship guarantee.
We cover 190+ suburbs across the Mornington Peninsula, Bayside, South-East Melbourne, the inner east and the CBD. Chances are we've already done a job in your street — check our service areas below.
We recommend a service once a year to keep it running efficiently. We clean filters, check gas levels and test performance so your system lasts longer and runs cheaper.
