Supply and Installation of Single Head Split Systems for Melbourne Homes and Businesses
Goldworks Electrical supplies and installs single head split systems across Melbourne. If you need to heat or cool a specific room or open plan area, a single head split system is one of the most cost-effective and energy efficient ways to do it. We help you choose the right unit for your space and get it installed cleanly and correctly by our licensed team.
What Is a Single Head Split System?
A single head split system connects one indoor wall unit to one outdoor compressor unit. Refrigerant lines run between the two, allowing the system to heat and cool the space efficiently without the need for any ductwork or major building work.
Modern reverse cycle single head split systems are designed to handle Melbourne’s climate year round, keeping you cool through summer and warm through winter without the running costs of older heating and cooling systems.
Is a Single Head Split System Right for You?
A single head split system is the right choice when you need reliable climate control in a specific area of your home or business. It’s a straightforward, cost-effective solution that doesn’t require the investment of a full ducted system.
Single head systems are ideal for:
- Bedrooms and master suites
- Living rooms and open plan living and dining areas
- Home offices and studies
- Apartments and smaller dwellings
- Small commercial offices and retail spaces
- Garages, workshops, and studios
- Granny flats and secondary dwellings
If you need climate control across multiple rooms, a multi head split system or ducted system may be a better fit. We’re happy to talk through your options before you commit to anything.
What's Involved in a Single Head Split System Installation
Site Assessment
Before we quote, we assess the space to determine the right system capacity, the best position for the indoor unit, and the most practical route for the pipe run to the outdoor compressor.
System Selection
We help you choose the right unit based on room size, ceiling height, insulation, sun exposure, and your budget. Getting the sizing right from the start means the system runs efficiently and lasts longer.
Installation Day
A standard single head installation typically takes between two and four hours. Our team installs the indoor unit, mounts and connects the outdoor compressor, runs and conceals the refrigerant pipe and electrical connections, and commissions the system before we leave.
Testing and Handover
Once installed, we test the system in both heating and cooling modes to make sure everything is running correctly. We walk you through the controls and settings before we pack up.
How We Size Your System
Getting the capacity right is one of the most important parts of a split system installation. A unit that’s too small will run constantly and struggle to reach temperature. A unit that’s too large will short cycle, which wastes energy and causes unnecessary wear on the system.
We’ll recommend the right kilowatt rating for your space and explain our reasoning clearly so you can make an informed decision.

Frequently Asked Questions — – Single Head Split System
How long does a single head split system installation take?
Most standard installations take between two and four hours. More complex installations involving longer pipe runs or difficult access may take a little longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe when we quote.
Do I need to be home during the installation?
Yes, we need access to the property throughout the job. We’ll lock in a time that works for you when you book.
What size single head system do I need?
The right capacity depends on the size and layout of the room, ceiling height, insulation, and sun exposure. We assess all of these during your quote and recommend the correct unit for your space.
Can a single head split system be installed in any room?
In most cases yes. The main considerations are access to an external wall or ceiling space for the pipe run and proximity to the switchboard for the electrical connection. We assess all of this before we quote.
Do single head split systems heat as well as cool?
Yes. All modern reverse cycle split systems both heat and cool, making them a practical year-round solution for Melbourne’s variable weather.

Cost depends on the unit selected and the complexity of the installation. We provide clear, upfront quotes so you know exactly what you’re up for before we start.
