Split system installation in Kalorama

Kalorama is the quietest of the mountain villages - a small ridge-top hamlet strung along Ridge Road with the Silvan Reservoir spread out below to the east. Most homes here are oriented east or north-east to catch that valley outlook, so the room a client actually wants conditioned is almost always the one with the biggest single sheet of glass in it. Sizing here is glass-led rather than floor-area-led - the standard three-and-a-half kilowatt head that suits a similar footprint down on the flat won't hold a Kalorama lounge with fifteen square metres of double glazing facing the sunset. Kalorama Park with its picnic grounds and the annual Craft Fair on the Labour Day weekend is the local anchor, along with the walking track down to the Silvan reservoir wall. The homes range from 1960s brick veneers that came in when the ridge subdivisions opened up, through to newer architect places rebuilt on view-blocks after storms and the black-summer scare cleared old fibro shacks. Steep sites are the rule, and on most jobs the pipe run has to climb a full storey from the outdoor unit up to a first-floor living room. Bushfire ratings are universal on this ridge, so BAL-compliant electrical and cladding penetration are baked in. Tank water is common, and generator changeover switches show up more often here than anywhere on the mountain.

Mountain valley-side - cold, damp, misty, heating-first climate, bushfire-rated blocks

Why Kalorama homeowners choose Bellair

Kalorama is about fifty-two kilometres north-east of our Botanic Ridge base, on the mountain's valley-facing side. The work here is heating-first sizing for a cold, damp climate, volume sizing for view-facing glass, fire-rated placement to the block's BAL, considered runs on steep blocks, and switchboard checks on the older cottages. 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 size the system for the mountain climate and the home rather than push a brand. Fixed price agreed before we start.

What's included in your Kalorama install

A Kalorama 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. Up here we size firmly for the cold, damp climate and the view-facing glass, place plant to the property's bushfire rating, and site the outdoor unit up and clear of leaf litter so it breathes and drains on a steep block. It's all in the fixed price agreed up front, with any switchboard 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.
