It required body corp approval and also the use of a scissor lift to access the roof where the outdoor unit will be located. The electrical supply required internal ducting to be ran from the switchboard. We kept it down low so furniture would help obscure it.

The client in this installation located in St Kilda, Melbourne was adamant that they did not want to lose space on thier balcony. As you can probably understand when living in a small apartment the balcony space can be a nice place to sit and relax, maybe BBQ or have some nice plants to appreciate. We offered the solution of mounting the outdoor unit off the balcony on a wall bracket. We were able to do this safely due to the size of the unit which was a 3.5kw Mitsubishi. After using our online quoting system we were able to assess and suggest the alternative to losing balcony space.

It is also very important to buy a quiet unit so your neighbours don’t complain. All the wall mounted split systems units listed on currentforce.com.au are in the very quiet range. When loosing space on the balcony it is impotrant to be aware that you should not place anything on top such as plants or BBQ’s (yes, we have seen it before) as this can damage the unit and void your warranty. Also, nothing should be place in front of the unit that can restrict the flow of air out of the unit. We can help you figure out which model is right for your situation in regards to the dimensions of the outdoor unit. The main points that you need to be aware of are:
- Most will not let any pipes exit onto the balcony ABOVE the height of the balcony railing. This means pipes need to be ran inside the walls (cutting plaster) or internally.
- No drains are to allow water to drip of the balcony. Remember, water drains from the indoor unit when cooling and it also drips from the outdoor unit when it is in heating mode. If you have a down pipe on the balcony you should be ok. If not, you will need to install an evaporation tray, which usually sits under the outdoor unit.This is essentially a heating element that evaporates the water. These are an extra cost. You can download a copy of a standard body corporate requirement list for air conditioner installation here. You should be able to gain a copy of your own buildings requirements from your building manager’s office.
- The installation involves a bit more planning also.
- You will need to make sure we have a parking space made available INSIDE the building as close to the elevator as possible.
- We will also need access to a security pass for access up and down the elevator.
If this sounds like a lot of this to arrange, don’t worry. We are experts in dealing with all the requirements and do our best to make it a seamless experience. If you use our online quoting system, you’ll find body corporate approval will be much easier to gain.

Understanding cost
Understanding the cost of installing a split system air conditioner
- At the front of the house – You can put it there of course but it is worth considering the aesthetics as well. Will it be exposed and stand out? Would it be better around the side of the house? Often the outdoor unit can be hidden behind bushes, shrubs or trees.
- In narrow pathways – You don’t want to limit or even lose access for things like bins, wheel barrows, bikes. One option for this is to mount the outdoor unit on a wall bracket.
- Deckings or entertaining areas – If you don’t want to be staring at it, its worth paying the extra to move it to a better location. The outdoor unit will blow either cold or warm air out from the front when running and could possibly make sitting outside uncomfortable and annoying. Once it is installed and working, you will be glad you did.
- Drive ways or garages – Drive ways are not a good location for air conditioners. Not only is it costly to repair or replace a unit that has been backed into or sideswiped, it is extremely dangerous.
