What Is A Bulkhead Split System Air Conditioner?

How a Bulkhead Split System Installation Works

Bulkhead Split System Air Conditioners – What are They?

A bulkhead split system is a specific type of split system head unit that is ideal for rooms in need of a discreet installation, with only the air intake and discharge grilles being visible.

This type of installation offers multiple benefits, such as maximising wall space for furniture, decor, and fittings, as well as providing superior visual appeal compared to wall-mounted split systems. Plus, it has limited impact on the room acoustics, since the indoor units are already whisper-quiet, and even more so when installed behind a plasterboard.

Like all air conditioning installations, a bulkhead installation involves connecting the indoor unit to the outdoor compressor via refrigerant lines that pass through the ceiling cavity, with the outdoor unit typically mounted at ground level or on brackets.

Ready Electrical & Air Conditioning were excellent. They were professional, punctual, and responded quickly when I had an issue with my aircon. The repair was done efficiently and without any hassle. It’s made a big difference—finally able to sleep properly in this heat. I’d be happy to use their services again.

Troy, Khye and Danny came to install a bunch of pendant lights and a ceiling fan for us today. They were great people, very professional and the job was done perfectly. They provided sound advice on the care and usage of the units they installed. The price was competitive and we couldn't be happier with their work. Absolutely recommended.

I use Greg & his team for my client projects as an interior designer and they are always excellent. Today I had Renzo from the Ready team out to our home to service our split system. A+ service! Renzo was on time, polite, tidy & efficient. He communicated clearly what he was going to do & then confirmed when it was completed. Highly recommend!Update … I’ve now had Troy the electrician out to do…
