Shop Split System & Ducted Air Conditioners Australia-Wide

A quality split system costs $765 to $1,600+ supply-only in Australia in 2026. Add $600 to $1,200 for a standard metro installation and you are looking at $1,400 to $2,800 all up for a bedroom unit, and $2,000 to $3,500 for a living area. This guide breaks down every cost with real prices from our store so you know exactly what to budget before getting a quote.

The short answer: split systems suit one to three rooms and homes under 200m² where you want to control costs room by room. Ducted suits four or more rooms, larger homes, and buyers who want invisible ceiling vents and whole-home comfort from a single system. This guide compares both honestly, with current Australian cost data, so you can make the call before talking to an installer.
