What is a
multi-head split system?
A multi-head split connects two to five indoor units to a single outdoor unit.
- Each room has its own controller, so a bedroom can be cool at night while the living room is off.
- With no ducts in the roof, nothing is lost to the roof space.
It is a good fit for double-storey homes, townhouses, units and homes without usable roof space, and for replacing several gas space heaters at once.
Installed prices depend on the number of rooms and pipe run lengths; your written quote lists each room.

How does a
multi-head split work?
The outdoor unit circulates refrigerant to each indoor unit through insulated pipe runs.
Each indoor unit heats or cools its room independently, and the outdoor unit adjusts its output to match the rooms that are running.
The design work is in the placement: where each indoor unit sits for airflow and appearance, and how the pipes travel between rooms.
What we check at your home
Sizing guide
A starting point only. We size your system from measured rooms, insulation and window orientation.
A common starting point for units and smaller homes.
Our most popular multi-head configuration.
Close to whole-home comfort without ducting.
Running costs
and how to lower them
A correctly sized inverter system adjusts its speed instead of switching on and off, which keeps running costs down. The rest comes down to how it is used.
At the assessment we estimate running costs for your home so you can compare options properly.
How we work
Frequently asked questions
about multi-head split systems
Usually two to five indoor units. We check the total capacity against the outdoor unit so every room still performs on a 40 degree day.
Several single splits need several outdoor units. A multi-head keeps one outdoor unit, but every room depends on it. We weigh both for your house and the quote explains the choice.
Bulkhead units sit inside a ceiling bulkhead with only a grille visible. They need the ceiling space and cost more to install, so we recommend them where appearance matters.
It can be, when it replaces an eligible gas heater. We confirm eligibility at the assessment and apply it on your quote.
