What does air conditioning installation involve?
Here are some key elements of our air conditioning installation services:
- Site preparations and assessment: We’ll determine the best location for your unit and check if there are any issues with the power supply or structural limitations.
- Verifying power supply: Before we begin installations, we’ll make sure that your existing electrical system can manage the power requirements of your air conditioner.
- Mounted installation: If needed, we’ll secure mounting brackets to your wall and drill a hole for piping and a connection for an indoor device.
- Electrical connection: We’ll ensure electrical wires are capped and not exposed, and double-check that everything is properly connected.
- Safety steps and testing: Finally, we will make sure the system is functioning properly, explain how to use your device, and clean up any packaging and debris from the work area.
Which air conditioning system should I install?
The best air conditioning system for your home will vary depending on your property, your budget and other preferences. Some major types of air conditioning for you to consider are:
- Split system air conditioning: A split system air conditioner involves using an indoor unit and an outdoor unit to heat and cool your home. They are easy to install almost anywhere and are relatively affordable compared to other types of systems. These systems can focus on a single room, or you can link an outdoor unit to multiple indoor units.
- Ducted air conditioning: A ducted air conditioning system can control the temperature of an entire home with ease, without even being visible due to an unobtrusive design. Zoning features allow you to conveniently control temperatures in different areas of your house. However, these systems may require significant renovation to your home before installation.
- Evaporative cooling: An evaporative cooling system is generally a perfect fit for Canberra’s dry weather. This is because the system is energy efficient, environmentally friendly and highly effective, but don’t perform as well with more humid weather. They may also increase humidity indoors, have limited temperature control and sometimes require more maintenance.

How does air conditioning installation work?
The exact process for air conditioning installation at Climate Plus changes depending on the type of system we are installing.
Split system air conditioning installation
To install asplit system air conditioner, we will first assess the property and carefully select the best location for an indoor or outdoor unit. We determine the best position based on factors such as airflow, and accessibility.
Before we perform any installation, we also assess the wall’s integrity and look out for studs, pipes or wiring that may get in the way. From there, we’ll drill access holes for refrigerant lines, wires and drain hoses.
Finally, we will finish installing your split system unit. For an indoor unit, we check if the wall brackets are even. For an outdoor unit, we make sure the concrete slab or other place the device is resting on is level and has clearance. As part of the final installation, we will test the system to ensure it’s working correctly.
Ducted air conditioning installation
To install a ducted air conditioning system, we begin by inspecting the property and roof cavity to ensure a ducted system is suitable. This is to determine if a ducted system is viable, and where the best location for it could be. We will also determine the ductwork layout and check the electrical system to make sure it can handle the new unit.
Once that’s done, we will prepare the installation area by clearing the ceiling or underfloor space, and setting down covering to keep your home clean. The next step of installation depends on the type of unit.
An indoor unit is typically installed in the roof or under the floor, and is suspended to minimise vibration. An outdoor unit is installed outside the home, in a position where airflow is optimal and it can still be accessed.
After that, the ductwork and vents are installed, and the system is connected to the switchboard. Control panels or thermostats will then be mounted to give you user-friendly control of the system. We’ll then give the system a full test to ensure it’s working before we turn everything over to you.
Evaporative cooler installation
As with all our installation services, before we install an evaporative cooler, we will first assess the building’s layout, size and cooling needs. This is to determine if an evaporative cooler is the best system for the property. We will also plan out the ductwork and ventilation paths.
From here, we will securely mount the cooler itself, typically to the roof. Ground-mounted options are also available. Once mounted, our technician will safely and carefully connect the power to the unit. We will then connect a water supply and drain connection to the cooler.
Finally, we will test the system to ensure the airflow is correct and that the temperature control is working before we hand the system over to you.
