Installation costs vary widely depending on the system type, the complexity of the job, and your location. A basic back-to-back split system, where the indoor and outdoor units sit on opposite sides of the same wall, is the most affordable option, with labour typically ranging from $600 to $1,200.
Once you factor in the unit itself, most homeowners spend between $1,500 and $3,500 for a single split system fully installed. Ducted air conditioning is a much bigger outlay, often starting at $9,000 and going higher depending on the number of zones and the size of the home.
Metropolitan areas like Sydney tend to cost more than regional locations due to higher labour rates.
