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.

They talked me through the new systems and checked thoroughly that th…

Team were nice and friendly and explained things clearly. Managed a whole raft of jobs from lights to air con fixes. Price was reasonable versus what I'd been quoted in the past. Would use again!

I couldn’t believe all the 5 star reviews but now I understand why. From the quote to the end of the installation, everything was perfect. Marcel, Troy, Xavier and Khye were polite and friendly. They worked constantly and provided feedback and advice along the way. Left it spotless too. Highly recommend.
