If you’re only cooling one or two rooms, split system air conditioning is a smart, energy-efficient option — and we make the process simple from start to finish. At Allchin Airconditioning & Refrigeration Electrical, we install, service and repair split systems across the Sunshine Coast from our base in Caloundra.
We work with brands we know and trust, including Daikin, Fujitsu, LG and Panasonic. Whether you need a small unit for a bedroom or something larger for an open-plan living area, we’ll recommend the right model and install it properly — with clean finishes and no mess left behind.
We also handle filter
cleans,
fault finding, gas checks and full replacements when needed. No matter the age or brand, we’ll keep your split system running smoothly. Reach out on

Smart Split System Air Conditioning Options
Split systems give you the power to cool specific areas without wasting energy on rooms you’re not using — and that flexibility is what makes them so popular. We install high-wall, floor-mounted and inverter models depending on what suits your space best, and we’ll walk you through how to get the most out of it.
We don’t just install — we repair and service too. If your system’s leaking, noisy or blowing warm air, we’ll check it over properly and get it sorted fast. We also offer regular maintenance to help extend the life of your system and keep your indoor air clean.
From small homes to investment properties and even site sheds, we fit systems that match your budget, layout and lifestyle. And if you’re after something you can control from your phone, we can help with that too.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do split system air conditioners last?
With proper care, a good quality split system can last between 10 to 15 years. Lifespan depends on usage, brand quality, and how regularly it’s serviced. Units near coastal areas may wear faster due to salt in the air.
Routine maintenance — like cleaning filters, checking gas levels and inspecting electrical components — can significantly extend the system’s life.
Ignoring small issues early on, like blocked filters or refrigerant leaks, may reduce performance and shorten lifespan.
Is it worth servicing a split system regularly?
Yes — regular servicing keeps your system running efficiently and prevents problems like mould build-up, blocked filters or water leaks. A typical service includes a coil clean, refrigerant check, drainage flush, and a system test.
Dirty or poorly maintained units work harder, which means higher power bills and reduced cooling power. Even if the system seems fine, servicing at least once a year keeps it healthy and avoids costly breakdowns down the track.
Can a split system cool more than one room?
Standard split systems are designed for a single space. If you want to cool multiple rooms, you’ll either need separate systems or consider a multi-split system — which runs several indoor units off one outdoor unit.
While airflow may reach nearby rooms if doors are open, it won’t be strong or consistent enough for proper comfort. Each room’s layout, size and insulation can affect how well cooled air travels.
What size split system do I need?
System size depends on the room’s square metres, ceiling height, insulation and sun exposure. As a rough guide, a small bedroom might need a 2.5kW unit, while a large living room could need 7kW or more.
Over-sizing wastes energy and can lead to short cycling, while under-sizing won’t cool effectively. A professional installer can assess your space and recommend the right capacity for efficient and even cooling.
