Air conditioning in Perth
Perth has a strong network of FixerCo installers from Joondalup to Mandurah, Fremantle to the Hills. Evaporative systems are still common in older homes, but new builds overwhelmingly choose reverse-cycle ducted.
Local climate considerations
Perth's Mediterranean climate delivers hot, dry summers (30–40°C) and cool, wet winters (8–18°C). Low humidity means evaporative cooling is also a viable option, but reverse-cycle split and ducted remain most popular for year-round comfort.
Typical installation prices
Typical Perth prices: back-to-back split system $1,700–$3,100. Multi-split $4,300–$7,800. Fully ducted for a 3–4 bedroom home $9,000–$15,500. Evaporative ducted systems run $4,500–$8,000 if mains water is already plumbed to the roof.
Best brands for this area
Daikin and Mitsubishi Electric lead. Brivis and Braemar are popular for evaporative cooling. Panasonic and Fujitsu offer strong inverter ranges suited to Perth's hot, dry summers.
What local installers consider
Perth's dry summers favour reverse-cycle with good filtration. Coastal suburbs (Cottesloe, Scarborough, Hillarys) need anti-corrosion outdoor units. Many Perth homes still have ducted gas heating — ask installers about reverse-cycle ducted retrofits onto existing ductwork.

How much does air conditioning installation cost in Perth?
In Perth, a back-to-back split system typically costs $1,800–$3,500 installed. Multi-split systems run $4,000–$8,000, and fully ducted systems for a 3–4 bedroom home are typically $9,000–$16,000. Exact price depends on system size (kW), brand, roof access and pipe-run length.
Which air conditioning brand is best for Perth homes?
Daikin and Mitsubishi Electric lead for reliability and warranty support in Perth. Fujitsu and Panasonic are strong mid-range picks. For Perth's climate, a 5–6 star energy rating is the sweet spot for long-term running cost.
How long does aircon installation take in Perth?
Most split systems in Perth are installed in a single 3–5 hour visit. A complex install with long pipe runs takes most of a day, and a ducted system in a 3–4 bedroom home typically takes 2–3 days.
Do I need council or strata approval in Perth?
Most strata schemes in Perth require written approval for outdoor units on shared walls or balconies. Council approval is rare for residential split systems but may apply in heritage zones — your installer will advise.
Are there rebates for aircon installation in Perth?
Depending on your state, energy-efficiency rebates and federal STC incentives can apply. Perth installers will factor any eligible rebates into their FixerCo quote.
