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 and A/C installed my a/c some years back and have serviced it since. Greg and his team are first rate and Kane who has done the past couple of service calls has been most professional and thorough in servicing the a/c system. I fully recommend them for a/c sales, installation and servicing requirements.

Troy, Renzo, Lino and Adam did an excellent job replacing internal and external units in our ducted aircon system. They were fast, efficient, didn’t leave any mess behind or break anything on the way. Well done, guys!

Michael and Marcel have done an excellent job yesterday installing two air con units in our place. They arrived on time, took the time to answer our questions, made clear how things will be set up and have been super friendly the whole day. They cleaned the place before they left. Thank you both. Highly recommend!
