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.

Recently I had Renzo, Marcel and the team replace our ducted air conditioner. An very pleasant experience. Efficient, very knowledgeable and polite. The installation went smoothly and the house left tidy. Very happy to recommend Ready Electrical

Thanks Greg & Team. Trent & Adam did a great job with the electrics. Lineu, Renzo & their team spend one & a half days installing- climbing through the roof cavity, always checking in with me as the job progressed to ensure I was happy with the work. End result was exactly what I had arranged with Greg. All up happy to recommend this business.

The guys came over and found that my previous install was absolutely horrendous in examining it. They worked out a way to fit the new air-conditioner perfectly without any issues a brilliant job thank you so much Chris and Damien
