Dedicated circuit for a new split system
A new split system in St Leonards needed its own protected circuit rather than sharing an existing GPO. We ran a dedicated RCBO circuit from the switchboard to an isolator beside the outdoor unit.
New split system, ducted upgrade, or an old unit that's stopped cooling? We handle the electrical, mounting and refrigerant work end to end — with licensed refrigerant handlers on the crew. Serving St Leonards and the surrounding Lower North Shore area.

WHAT WE DO
New split system, ducted upgrade, or an old unit that's stopped cooling? We handle the electrical, mounting and refrigerant work end to end — with licensed refrigerant handlers on the crew.
AIR CON · ST LEONARDS
Sydney summers demand air-conditioning that actually works — and most cooling problems are electrical or refrigerant, not the unit itself. We supply and install split systems from Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, Fujitsu, Panasonic and Haier, from a 2.5kW bedroom unit through to 9kW living-room systems, with the dedicated circuit, isolator, condensate drainage and pipework all in a single visit.
For ducted air-con we handle the electrical scope — dedicated three-phase circuit where required, isolator, zone controller wiring, dedicated smoke detector isolation for the return-air path — and coordinate with a licensed refrigeration partner on the ductwork and outdoor unit lift. Existing ducted systems with dead zone motors, failed controllers or a compressor that won't start are diagnosed and repaired the same visit where the parts are on the van.
All refrigerant work is performed by ARC-licensed technicians — a legal requirement in Australia. Every install includes a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work and a written warranty on our labour.
HOW THE JOB RUNS
We measure the room, check insulation and glazing, spec the correct kW capacity, and quote a fixed price on the spot.
Dedicated circuit run from the switchboard, isolator installed within sight of the outdoor unit, RCBO added if the board needs one.
Indoor head mounted, outdoor condenser located and secured, refrigerant pipework brazed and vacuumed, controller paired.
Cooling and heating tested through the full temperature range, controller demoed, and Certificate of Compliance issued.

VERY HIGHLY recommend! We had an issue with power at home and needed someone urgently to restore the electricity service. They responded quickly, showed up on time, and got everything back up and running without any hassle.

I highly recommend Joe, he's very skilled, kind and does honest work. He did a massive last minute job for us, installing an entire 17.4kw ducted aircon system after our old unit broke.

It was an extremely exceptional service from Joe! He came to replace my cooktop on my rented unit then went above and beyond liaising and explaining with my property manager.

I recently had Joe fix two exhaust fans at my place, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the service. Joe showed up on time, explained everything clearly, and fixed the issues quickly.
