Split system installation in Carnegie

Carnegie's changed character faster than most of Glen Eira — the strip along Koornang Road is busier and more diverse than ever, and the streets near the station have filled with apartment blocks and townhouses over the last decade, sitting cheek-by-jowl with the interwar bungalows that used to define the place. That density drives a lot of the work. In the apartment and townhouse developments, owners-corporation approval for outdoor unit placement is routine, and tight setbacks mean careful siting so a condenser breathes without blasting a neighbour. There's a strong rental and investor presence and a large student and migrant population, so reliable, cost-effective systems and multi-heads for shared or multi-generational households come up often. The remaining interwar bungalows are double brick — core-drilling and discreet routing, with the switchboards usually needing an upgrade for a reverse-cycle load. Ceilings run high on the older homes, so we size to the volume. Carnegie's inland with no coast, so it's clean distribution and right-sizing for hot summers. It's a busy, mixed suburb where the work swings from a brand-new apartment to a ninety-year-old bungalow, so we plan each job to the property in front of us and quote it straight.

Why Carnegie homeowners choose Bellair

Carnegie is about twenty-six kilometres north-west of our Botanic Ridge base. The work here is owners-corporation placement in the apartments and townhouses near the station, multi-heads for shared and multi-generational households, and core-drilling and switchboard upgrades on the interwar bungalows. Matt's ARCtick licensed, AU 55218, with 28 years on the tools, 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 unit to the property and budget rather than push a brand. Fixed price agreed before we start.

What's included in your Carnegie install

A Carnegie 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. In the apartments and townhouses we sort placement within the owners-corporation rules and tight setbacks first, and on the interwar bungalows we core-drill and route discreetly and check the switchboard. It's all in the fixed price agreed up front, with any upgrade flagged before you commit. If your place sits in one of the newer apartment blocks near Koornang Park or the station we sort the placement inside the owners-corporation rules early so the job doesn't stall halfway through.

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.
