It’s impossible to provide an accurate cost as every system and installation is different. Factors that influence the total cost include the system type, size of the home, access to various areas required and any additional services that may be required such as upgrades to electrical service or the provision of water for an evaporative system. However, the installation cost for a split system is likely to be considerably less than a ducted reverse cycle or evaporative system. When you obtain a quote for any air conditioning system from Mouritz it will normally include anticipated installation costs.

Split system installation
Split air conditioning systems are a popular choice for Perth homes, as they offer an efficient way to heat and cool a single room or living space. Split systems are highly regarded for their lower upfront cost, energy efficiency and compared to some other systems relatively quick to install.
When installing a split system Mouritz take the time to complete accurate load calculations and carefully consider the best locations for the internal and external units. This focused approach ensures you receive long-term reliability and optimum performance helping to reduce your ongoing energy costs.
In many cases, installation can be completed in a single visit, providing access is straightforward and no additional structural or electrical work is required. However, factors such as wall construction, the distance between units, and electrical switchboard capacity may influence the installation timeline. The installation of multiple units will obviously also require more time.
Ducted reverse cycle air conditioning installation
A ducted reverse cycle air conditioning system from Mouritz delivers year-round comfort for your family allowing you to heat or cool multiple rooms from a single unit, with zoning options to manage airflow in specific areas of your home. At Mouritz, we design ducted systems tailored to the layout of your home and the way you live.
Ducted air conditioning installations require more extensive planning and on-site work than split systems. The installation timeframe depends on factors such as home size, roof space access, the number of zones, and whether the property is a new build or an existing home.
Because these systems involve specialised ductwork design, airflow balancing and sometimes require ceiling modifications the installation process may occur over several stages and over several days.
Ducted evaporative air conditioning installation
A ducted evaporative air conditioning system from Mouritz is a great way to cool your whole home and is particularly effective in Perth’s dry climate.
Because evaporative systems utilise water rather than refrigerant, they consume significantly less electricity, making them more economical to run than ducted reverse cycle systems especially during peak summer months.
Unlike a reverse cycle or split system, evaporative air conditioning needs an adequate water supply for the main unit located on the roof. This is one of the requirements we consider when finalising the installation plan.
Installation timeframes vary based on several factors including the size of the home, roof access, ducting layout, and water connection requirements. In most cases, installation is carried out over multiple visits depending on the system size and home configuration.
Common questions
Common questions about air conditioning installation
In most cases a single split system can be installed in one day. Ducted reverse cycle or evaporative systems are a lot more involved which means the installation will likely take place over several days. The experienced installation team from Mouritz will prepare an installation schedule that works for you.
Regular servicing is essential to maintaining the efficiency, reliability, and air quality of any air conditioning system. Periodic checks of filters, electrical components, and airflow performance help reduce power consumption and prevent costly breakdowns. Whether you have a split or ducted system professional maintenance from Mouritz protects your investment and ensures consistent comfort in your home. When you’re ready, book a service online.
Yes, older homes can accommodate most air conditioning systems. Split systems are usually easily accommodated and, in most cases, ducted reverse cycle and evaporative systems can also be installed. However, this depends on roof access, structural layout, and available space for ducting. Mouritz can assess the viability of installing air conditioning system. Please let us know if you would like to schedule an appointment.
Demand is always higher during the hotter summer months. This often results in installation delays and means that your home is not fully equipped for the summer heat. Consequently, we would recommend commencing the process of purchasing and installing your air conditioning well before this period of peak demand. Please let us know if you would like to schedule an appointment.
When deciding between air conditioning options, it is important to note that multiple split systems can be used to heat and cool individual rooms independently, while ducted systems provide zoned whole-home control from a single unit. As well as the cost for installation, key considerations for your decision should include the purchase cost of multiple split systems, running expenses, and long-term efficiency. The installation cost comparison would depend on the number of split systems required and the scale and complexity of a comparable ducted system.

Providing you are the homeowner in most cases there is no need to apply for any approvals to install air conditioning. However, there are instances where specific approvals may be required. This includes restrictions relating to heritage listed buildings, strata titled homes or properties that have specific planning overlays. We suggest you make appropriate enquiries to ensure your property is free from any restrictions that may apply.
