❄️ Split System Air Conditioning - That Works All Year Round

Look, Brisbane summers are brutal, and winter nights can be surprisingly chilly. If you're sick of sweating through February or shivering in July, it's time to sort out your climate control properly.

Split system reverse cycle air conditioning isn't just about staying cool — it's about year-round comfort that doesn't break the bank or drive you mental with noise and maintenance headaches.

Why Split System Air Conditioning is The Smart Choice for Targeted Comfort

Split systems are perfect when you want targeted cooling and heating for specific areas.

But here's the thing — installation matters. A lot. We've seen too many "bargain" installs that end up costing customers more in repairs, higher power bills, and general frustration than if they'd done it properly from the start.

At Hopkinson Electrical, we don't just bolt a unit to your wall and disappear. We assess your space, plan the positioning properly, and make sure your electrical system can handle the load without drama.

What Makes Split Systems Actually Good

Your Roof-Space Won't Look Like a "5G IS KILLING US" Convention 🥸 — Just a small hole through the wall for the connecting pipes and cables. The outdoor unit can sit up to 20 meters away, so we can find the perfect spot that works for your home and your neighbours if you like them.

Easy to Live With — Washable filters you can clean yourself, and outdoor units positioned where we can actually service them when needed.

It Won't Give You Power Bill Anxiety — Modern split systems are very efficient, especially when the right size unit is in the right size room. New Aircon's have Inverter technology, which means they adjust to maintain temperature on the fly, unlike the old aircons that will blast you with the best freezing cold air you've ever had, and as soon as the rooms cold, it stops cooling all together, won't reply to your texts, ignores your calls?? Apparently its finding itself in morocco now?

Actually Quiet — Both indoor and outdoor units run quietly. No more shouting over the air con and getting dirty looks from the neighbours, now you can shout at each other with much more passion, not just because the aircon's loud, but because you want to!

Heating AND Cooling — One system, two jobs. Brisbane winters might not be Melbourne-cold, but when it's 8°C at 6am, you'll appreciate having proper heating that doesn't involve huddling around a Kmart heater which will cost your a FORTUNE BTW!

Doesn't Ruin Your Room — Sleek, compact design that doesn't block windows or dominate your wall like some ugly minecraft characters head coming through the wall.

The Right Solution for Your Situation

When Split System air conditioning makes sense:

• You want to cool or heat specific rooms efficiently

• You're working with a smaller budget or a staged approach

• You want individual room control

• You're adding climate control to extensions or new areas

• Your budget just doesn't cover installing a ducted system

  
  

Need whole-home comfort? We also install ducted systems BTW, for comprehensive climate control. Every home is different, and we'll recommend what actually works best for your situation and budget.

Why We Install Mitsubishi units

After years of installing different brands, we've settled on Mitsubishi as our go-to recommendation. They're reliable, efficient, and when something does go wrong (rarely), parts are available and support is decent.

We could sell you cheaper units, but we'd rather install something that's going to work properly for years rather than something that'll have you calling us back in 18 months when it starts playing up.

Getting It Right the First Time

Here's what separates a proper installation from a bodge job:

• Electrical assessment - Making sure your switchboard can handle the additional load

• Proper positioning - Indoor and outdoor units placed for optimal performance and minimal noise

• Quality installation - No shortcuts on mounting, electrical connections, or refrigerant lines

• Testing and commissioning - We pull a vacuum down to under 100microns, which is unheard of in the industry, but we hate the idea of future leaks more than you!

• Above and beyond wall duct - We can match the paint colour of your downpipes, roof or gutters, by ordering Colorbond painted aircon duct coverings!

  
  

We're not the cheapest option out there, but you probably remember the last time you went for the cheapest option. What you get is honest service, quality installation, and people who actually answer the phone when you need support even after we've been paid!

The Bottom Line

Split system air conditioning is one of the best investments you can make in your comfort and your home's value. But like any electrical work, it needs to be done properly.

Ready to stop suffering through Brisbane's weather extremes? Give us a call for honest advice about what'll work best for your home and budget.

No high-pressure sales tactics, no hidden costs, no disappearing acts after installation. Just good air conditioning that works when you need it.

Because life's too short to be uncomfortable in your own home.
