Our promise to you as valued customers is to carefully choose the right system to suit the needs of your home, office or commercial premises
Cutting corners may seem like a good idea at the time. But when you’re left with an air conditioning system that doesn’t work properly or, even worse, is not covered under warranty if anything happens, you’ll wish you had it installed properly the first time.

Whether you need a single split system in a bedroom, a fully zoned ducted system for your whole home, or a commercial installation for your business premises, Air-Max has the credentials and experience to get it right the first time.
We install all major residential and commercial system types across Sydney. Here is what each system suits and what is included in our installation.
Split systems are the most popular choice for Sydney homes: cost-effective,
efficient and suitable for single rooms or open-plan spaces.
Our standard split system installation includes wall mounting of the indoor
unit, outdoor unit placement on a concrete slab, up to 3 metres of refrigerant
piping and interconnecting cable, up to 2 metres of electrical supply, and one
length of trunking.
As a general sizing guide, rooms up to 20m² suit a 2.5kW unit, 20–40m² suit a
3.5kW unit, and 40–60m² suit a 5–6kW unit.
Ducted systems deliver whole-home climate control through a single outdoor
compressor connected to an indoor unit in your roof cavity.
Modern ducted systems provide cooling in summer and heating in winter.
Zoning allows you to control different areas independently and reduce
unnecessary energy use.
Ducted installations generally take one to two days, depending on the size
of the home and roof cavity access.
Multi-head systems connect multiple indoor units to a single outdoor
compressor. They are ideal for cooling several rooms without installing
a complete ducted system.
Each indoor unit can be controlled independently, making this option
suitable for larger homes, offices and properties with limited outdoor space.
Air-Max installs commercial systems for offices, retail spaces, restaurants,
warehouses, factories and strata buildings.
Our installations include ceiling cassette systems, commercial ducted units,
VRF and VRV systems, and packaged air conditioning units.
Every commercial property is assessed on site, and work can be scheduled
outside business hours to minimise disruption.

Basic Installations

This is where the fan coil unit sits inside and the condenser sits outside, back to back.

What is the most popular type of air conditioning installation in Sydney?
Split system air conditioners are the most popular choice for Sydney homes, particularly for bedrooms, living areas and home offices. They are cost-effective to install, efficient to run and suitable for most property types. Ducted systems are the preferred choice for homeowners wanting whole-home climate control.
How much does air conditioning installation cost in Sydney?
A basic split system installation by a licensed technician starts from around $650 (installation only) or $1,500–$2,500 for supply and installation. Ducted system installation typically ranges from $6,000 to $12,000+ for a 3–4 bedroom home. Commercial installations are quoted individually based on project scope.
Why should I use a licensed installer rather than a DIY kit?
Legally, the refrigerant handling component of air conditioning installation must be performed by an ARCtick-licensed technician in Australia. Beyond the legal requirement, installer-related issues are the most common cause of rejected warranty claims. Licensed installation ensures your warranty is protected, the system operates safely and the installation meets Australian electrical standards.
How long does a typical air conditioning installation take?
A standard back-to-back split system installation takes 2–4 hours. Intermediate installations with wall brackets or extended pipe runs take 4–6 hours. Ducted installations typically take 1–2 full days. Air-Max will confirm the expected timeframe when you book.
What areas in Sydney does Air-Max service for air conditioning installation?
Air-Max services the greater Sydney metropolitan area, with a strong base in the Sutherland Shire. We regularly install across Campbelltown, Parramatta, the Hills District, Northern Beaches, Inner West, Eastern Suburbs, South-West Sydney and beyond. Contact us to confirm availability in your suburb.
Does Air-Max provide supply and installation, or installation only?
Air-Max offers both options. We can supply and install a complete system from our range of brands (Daikin, Fujitsu, Mitsubishi, Carrier, Actron, Haier, Braemar), or install a unit you have purchased elsewhere. We only install units from reputable brands we can warranty.
What warranty comes with an Air-Max air conditioning installation?
All Air-Max installations are covered by our Max Workmanship Guarantee on all labour, plus the manufacturer's warranty on the unit itself. As warranty agents for Daikin, Fujitsu and Mitsubishi, we ensure installations for these brands maintain their full manufacturer warranty.
Can air conditioning be installed in a unit or apartment in Sydney?
Yes. Apartment installations may require strata approval for the outdoor unit placement and any wall penetrations. Air-Max is experienced in strata-compliant installations and can advise on typical strata requirements before your installation is booked.
Can you install air conditioning in a double brick wall?
Yes. Double brick installations require a core drill and add some time and cost to the installation. We will identify this during the quote and provide a transparent price before any work begins.
What should I do to prepare for my air conditioning installation?
Clear access to both the indoor and outdoor unit locations, ensure someone over 18 is present during the installation, and have your preferred unit location in mind. Our technician will advise on the optimal position for performance and aesthetics. For ducted installations, ensure roof cavity access is not blocked.
