Efficient Split System Air Conditioning in Wollongong
As someone who lives in Wollongong, I know how important it is to have reliable comfort all year round. Our coastal summers can be sticky and humid, while winter evenings near the Illawarra Escarpment can get surprisingly cool. That’s why split system air conditioning is such a smart choice for smaller homes, units, single rooms, or even offices.
At Airdale Air Conditioning, we specialise in supplying, installing, and servicing split system air conditioners across Wollongong, Shellharbour, Kiama, Dapto, Thirroul, and the wider Illawarra. We’ll help you choose the right system for your space, making sure it’s efficient, reliable, and blends seamlessly with your home décor. A properly sized split system can comfortably heat or cool an area of up to 80m², making it a versatile solution for many Wollongong households and businesses.
What Does a Split System Consist Of?
A split system air conditioner is designed for convenience, comfort, and efficiency. Each system includes:
- Indoor unit – wall-mounted, compact (approx. 1m x 300mm), and quiet, delivering climate-controlled air directly into the room.
- Outdoor unit – installed outside and connected to the indoor unit via insulated copper piping and electrical wiring.
- Remote control – simple, user-friendly operation with temperature and mode settings.
- Advanced air filters – designed to improve air quality by destroying bacteria, reducing allergens, and helping minimise asthma triggers.
- Eco-friendly refrigerant – safe, modern refrigerants that reduce environmental impact.
There are two main types of split system technology available:
- Conventional single-speed compressor models – reliable and affordable entry-level systems.
- Inverter technology systems – variable-speed compressors offering whisper-quiet operation, improved energy efficiency, and up to 30% savings on running costs.


Benefits of Split System Air Conditioners in Wollongong
Choosing a split system for your Wollongong home or business comes with plenty of benefits:
- Zonal climate control – cool or heat individual rooms without wasting energy on unused spaces.
- Energy efficiency – inverter split systems are designed to keep your bills down while keeping your home comfortable.
- Quiet operation – perfect for bedrooms, home offices, or living rooms where peace and quiet matters.
- Affordable installation – lower upfront cost compared to ducted systems, with reliable long-term performance.
- Flexible use – ideal for apartments, smaller homes, rental properties, and commercial offices.
At Airdale Air Conditioning, we only install systems that give you the best balance of performance, energy savings, and comfort.
Maintenance Tips for Split System Air Conditioning
To make sure your system lasts for years and runs efficiently, here are some maintenance tips:
- Clean or replace filters regularly – clogged filters reduce efficiency and airflow.
- Check refrigerant levels – if cooling performance drops, a technician can test and top up refrigerant.
- Inspect the outdoor unit – keep it clear of dirt, leaves, and obstructions to maintain airflow.
- Book seasonal servicing – before summer and winter, have your unit serviced to ensure it’s performing at its best.
Regular maintenance not only extends the life of your unit but also keeps your energy bills lower and your indoor air fresher.
The cost of installing a split system varies depending on the size of the unit and the complexity of the installation. On average:
Supply and installation
$2,000 to $4,000 per unit.
Multi-head split systems
from $4,500 upwards, depending on how many rooms you want to cool.
Servicing
$120 to $180+ per unit.
Repairs
typically $150 to $400+, depending on parts required.
We provide clear, upfront quotes tailored to your property and budget, so you always know exactly what to expect.

Real Local Wollongong Customer Reviews
Airdale Air Conditioning in Wollongong were excellent. Dale’s expertise guided us to better A/C solution than we expected. Very competitively quoted, communication was regular, they turned up on time and completed the job, with clean up, quicker than expected without cutting corners…. Couldn’t recommend Airdale highly enough.
Airdale Air Conditioning in Wollongong have just finished installing a Mitsubishi wall mounted air conditioning unit in our home, the job was completed in a professional manner, the area was cleaned well after completion and the installers were very knowledgeable and polite. Highly recommend Airdale, very happy with the end result
These guys from Airdale Air Conditioning went above and beyond! They did a fully ducted air con unit in our house… it works amazing and the communication was spot on. No issue with it at all and would recommend these guys to everyone who needs any air conditioning work don’t around the Wollongong area.
Airdale Air Conditioning did a fantastic job for us. They were polite, friendly, professional, respectful, on time TIDY and efficient!! When they left there was nothing at all to suggest they’d been there except for the air conditioner functioning and attached to the wall. Very impressive. They also came up with a solution that meant our air con could be installed out of sight when other larger companies had not been able/willing to. Rates were also very reasonable. Highly recommend this local Wollongong company, would use again without question.
