Connex Electrical supplies and installs split system and ducted air conditioning across Burpengary, Caboolture West, Narangba, and surrounding Moreton Bay growth estates. We assess your property, present equipment options suited to your home type and budget, and deliver the complete installation — unit supply, electrical circuit, pipework, commissioning, and handover — backed by our lifetime workmanship guarantee.
Burpengary’s mix of established homes and new estates creates different air conditioning challenges. Older blocks often need switchboard upgrades before installation. New estates usually have the electrical capacity ready to go but require careful planning around open-plan layouts and multi-storey designs. We handle both scenarios daily.
We’re based in North Lakes and service Burpengary, Narangba, Caboolture West, and Morayfield. Call 0474 207 609 for a free on-site air conditioning quote.

We install all major brands. The unit must be on-site and accessible before we start work.
Check Your Switchboard First — Burpengary Older Homes
Many established Burpengary homes — particularly those built before 2000 on larger acreage blocks — have undersized switchboards and limited electrical capacity. Adding air conditioning (especially multiple split systems or ducted) can exceed the available circuits.
Common electrical challenges in older Burpengary properties:
- **No spare circuit ways** in the switchboard for new air conditioning circuits
- **Inadequate main supply cable** from the street (cannot support additional load without upgrade)
- **Old ceramic fuses** instead of modern circuit breakers
- **No residual current device (RCD) protection** on power circuits
- **Sub-board configurations** in sheds or garages that complicate new circuit installation
We assess your switchboard during the free site visit and confirm whether upgrades are needed before air conditioning installation. Switchboard upgrades are quoted separately and must be completed before we install the air conditioning system.
Typical switchboard upgrade costs:
- Safety switch (RCD) add: $180–$500
- New circuit way installation: $200–$500
- Full switchboard replacement (single-phase): $1,500–$3,500
- Three-phase upgrade: $2,500–$5,000+
New Burpengary estates (Caboolture West, newer Narangba subdivisions) usually have modern switchboards with spare capacity — air conditioning installation proceeds without electrical upgrades in most cases.
New Burpengary Estates — Pre-Wired Homes and Cooling Planning
New estates in Caboolture West, Narangba, and Burpengary East have modern electrical infrastructure and pre-wired air conditioning points in most homes. Builders often install “air conditioning ready” outlets in living areas and bedrooms.
What “air conditioning ready” means:
- **Electrical circuit installed** from switchboard to wall outlet location
- **Outdoor unit position marked** (usually side or rear of home)
- **You still need:** the air conditioning unit, pipework installation, outdoor unit mounting, and commissioning
“Air conditioning ready” homes make installation faster and cheaper (we use the existing circuit instead of running new cable), but you still need professional refrigeration and electrical work to commission the system.
Open-plan new home challenges:
Modern Burpengary estates favor large open-plan living/kitchen/dining areas (40m²–60m²+). A single 5kW or 7kW split system often struggles to cool the entire space effectively, especially with north-facing windows and Queensland summer heat.
Better options for open-plan new homes:
1. **Two strategically placed split systems** (one living, one dining/kitchen end) — better coverage than one undersized unit
2. **High-capacity split system (7kW–9kW)** with proper placement for airflow across the space
3. **Multi-head system** (one outdoor unit, two indoor heads) — cleaner outdoor appearance, zone control
4. **Ducted system** with multiple zones — whole-home solution if budget allows
We assess open-plan layouts during the site visit and explain which approach delivers effective cooling without over-capitalizing.
Split System vs. Ducted Air Conditioning — Which Suits Burpengary Homes?
**Split systems** suit:
- Established homes adding cooling to 1–3 rooms
- Budget-conscious installations (from $1,649 per room)
- Homes where you only cool occupied rooms (bedrooms at night, living during day)
- Properties with no roof space access or unsuitable roof structure for ductwork
**Ducted systems** suit:
- Whole-home cooling with consistent temperature across all rooms
- Open-plan new builds where split system placement is difficult
- Multi-storey homes (ducted upstairs, splits downstairs is a common hybrid)
- Homes where you want invisible indoor presence (no wall-mounted units)
Cost comparison for a typical 4-bedroom Burpengary home:
- **3–4 split systems** (bedrooms + living): $5,000–$8,000 total
- **Ducted system** (whole home, 4–5 zones): $11,000–$16,000
Split systems are cheaper upfront and let you stage the installation (add one room at a time). Ducted is a larger investment but delivers whole-home comfort and better resale appeal in new estates.
Dual-Licensed Electrical + Refrigeration Service
Air conditioning installation in Queensland legally requires two separate licences:
1. **QBCC Electrical Contractor Licence** — for mains power wiring, circuits, switchboard work, and isolation switches
2. **ARC Refrigeration Licence** — for handling refrigerant gases, pipework, and commissioning refrigeration systems
Many contractors hold only one licence and subcontract the other scope. This creates warranty confusion, coordination delays, and finger-pointing when problems arise.
We hold both licences in-house:
- **QLD Electrical Contractor Licence #92217** (Connex Electrical)
- **ARC Refrigeration Licence #AU42842** (refrigerant handling)
One company, one point of contact, one warranty. If anything goes wrong with the electrical or refrigeration work, you call us — not two different companies arguing about whose responsibility it is.
What’s Included in Every Connex Burpengary Air Conditioning Installation
Every installation includes:
- Free site assessment with switchboard capacity evaluation
- Room sizing confirmation and equipment selection advice
- Indoor unit mounting on appropriate wall structure with correct clearances
- Outdoor unit placement with secure mounting brackets
- Refrigerant pipework connection with UV-stable insulation
- Condensate drainage installation
- Dedicated electrical circuit from switchboard to outdoor unit (where required)

- Pipe cover or duct installation where required
- Vacuum, pressure test, and refrigerant charge verification
- System commissioning, mode testing, and remote/controller setup
- Clean-up and handover with operating instructions
- Manufacturer warranty on equipment + lifetime workmanship guarantee on our installation
Why Lifetime Workmanship Matters
Standard installation warranties run 12 months. After that, you’re paying for any workmanship defects that show up.
Common air conditioning installation failures:
- **Mounting brackets loosen** — outdoor unit vibrates, noise increases
- **Pipe insulation degrades** — exposed copper, condensation drips, efficiency loss
- **Electrical connections corrode** — intermittent faults, safety risks
- **Condensate drains block** — water leaks inside ceiling, mould, damage
- **Refrigerant leaks at joints** — system performance drops, expensive re-gas required
These problems are invisible on day one. They show up 2–5 years later — often after the installer’s 12-month workmanship period has expired.
Our lifetime workmanship guarantee means:
If any aspect of our installation work fails due to workmanship defects, we return and fix it at no cost. That includes remounting, re-running pipework, fixing drainage issues, or correcting electrical faults that trace back to our scope of work.
Covered by our guarantee:
- Mounting brackets and structural fixings
- Pipework joints, insulation, and weatherproofing
- Drainage and condensate removal
- Electrical circuit integrity and connections
- Refrigerant system integrity (excluding manufacturer defects)
Not covered (manufacturer warranty applies):
- Compressor or refrigerant system component failures due to manufacturing defects
- Indoor or outdoor unit electronic or mechanical faults
- Remote control or controller failures
- Normal wear and tear on unit components
We stand behind the work for life because we use proper materials and installation practices. Your manufacturer warranty covers the equipment. Our lifetime workmanship guarantee covers everything we install.
Pair Air Conditioning with Ceiling Fans — 20-30% Running Cost Reduction
Air conditioning and ceiling fans work together to reduce your electricity costs. Running a ceiling fan alongside your air conditioner lets you set the thermostat 2–3°C higher while maintaining the same comfort level.
How it works:
- Air conditioning cools the air
- Ceiling fan circulates the cooled air throughout the room
- Air movement across skin creates wind-chill effect (feels cooler without lower temperature)
- You use less compressor run-time to achieve comfortable conditions
**Typical savings:** 20-30% reduction in air conditioning running costs during Queensland summer.
We install ceiling fans across Burpengary and can quote both ceiling fan and air conditioning installation together if you’re planning both upgrades. Existing ceiling fan in the same room as your new air conditioner? We’ll show you how to use them together for maximum efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions — Air Conditioning Installation Burpengary
Complete supply and installation packages start from $1,649 inc GST for a TCL 2.5kW bedroom split system with standard back-to-back installation. Premium brands like Mitsubishi Electric start from $2,156 inc GST for the same capacity. Larger systems (5kW–7kW+ for living areas), multi-head installations, and open-plan new home layouts are quoted after a free site assessment. Ducted air conditioning for whole-home cooling starts from $11,000 inc GST depending on home size, number of zones, and ductwork complexity. Installation-only service (if you’ve already purchased a unit) is $1,120 inc GST for standard back-to-back installations.
Many established Burpengary homes built before 2000 have undersized switchboards with no spare circuit capacity for air conditioning. We assess your switchboard during the free site visit and confirm whether upgrades are needed. Typical switchboard upgrade costs range from $180–$500 for a safety switch addition up to $1,500–$3,500 for a full single-phase switchboard replacement. New Burpengary estates (Caboolture West, newer Narangba subdivisions) usually have modern switchboards with spare capacity and air conditioning installation proceeds without electrical upgrades in most cases.
It depends on your budget and cooling priorities. Split systems are cheaper upfront (from $1,649 per room) and let you stage the installation over time. Three to four split systems covering bedrooms and living areas cost $5,000–$8,000 total. Ducted air conditioning delivers whole-home cooling with consistent temperature across all rooms and costs $11,000–$16,000 for a typical 4-bedroom Burpengary home with 4–5 zones. Ducted suits open-plan new builds where split system placement is difficult and delivers better resale appeal. Split systems suit budget-conscious installations or homes where you only cool occupied rooms.
Yes. “Air conditioning ready” means the builder installed an electrical circuit and marked the outdoor unit position, but you still need the air conditioning unit, pipework installation, outdoor unit mounting, refrigerant connection, and commissioning. The pre-installed circuit makes installation faster and cheaper (we use the existing cable instead of running new circuits), but professional refrigeration and electrical work is still required to get the system operational. We handle “air conditioning ready” installations across new Burpengary estates daily.
We do both. Our primary service is complete supply and installation packages where we assess your Burpengary property, present equipment options suited to your home type (established, new build, renovation), and deliver the full package. We also provide installation-only service ($1,120 inc GST) if you’ve already purchased a unit. Most Burpengary customers prefer the supply + install package because we handle equipment selection, warranty, and installation as a single point of contact.
Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Daikin, Fujitsu, and Actron Air (for ducted systems) all perform well in Queensland’s climate when installed properly. The brand matters less than correct system sizing and installation quality. We supply all major brands and explain which models suit your specific Burpengary property type during the quote. For ducted installations, Actron Air is Australian-designed and well-suited to Queensland conditions.
A standard back-to-back split system installation takes 3–4 hours from start to handover. Up and over installations (longer pipe runs through ceiling spaces), multi-head systems, or installations requiring new electrical circuits take 5–7 hours. Ducted air conditioning installations take 2–3 days depending on home size, ductwork complexity, and whether roof space modifications are required. We confirm the timeline during your quote. Most Burpengary split system installations are completed in a single day.
Yes — it’s a legal requirement. Air conditioning installation requires a QBCC Electrical Contractor Licence (for mains wiring, circuits, and switchboard work) and an ARC Refrigeration Licence (for handling refrigerant gases and pipework). We hold both in-house: Electrical Contractor #92217 + ARC Refrigeration #AU42842. Many contractors only hold one licence and subcontract the other scope, which creates warranty confusion when problems arise. With us, it’s one company, one warranty covering both electrical and refrigeration work.
