Multi-Head Split System in Melbourne
Nothing quite prepares you for a proper Melbourne summer scorcher, with mercury climbing past 42 °C and the northerlies blow in straight off the desert. For families and offices looking to upgrade or install a new heating and cooling system, we offer our range of multi-head split systems as a standout solution.
A single, discreet outdoor unit quietly runs up to 14 independent indoor heads (cooling only) or up to 5 indoor units (reverse cycle), so every room gets its own perfect temperature and no energy is wasted on empty rooms. For the past 5 years at SmartElectric, we’ve been matching Melbourne homes and businesses with multi-head systems that outdo the wild weather swings. They cool blistering summers in minutes, heat freezing winters just as fast and a near silent run all year round. There are plenty of multi-head options to choose from depending on budget, indoor unit count and need (cooling only or reverse-cycle) and at SmartElectric, we help you choose better, faster and cheaper.
How a Multi-Head Split System Works
The beauty of a multi-head split system is its simplicity and flexibility. A single outdoor unit sits neatly beside the house and connects through slim piping to multiple indoor wall units. Each indoor head draws warm air across cold evaporator coils, absorbs the heat into refrigerant and sends it outside to be released. Cool, filtered air then flows gently back into the room.
Latest multi-head split systems use inverter technology, the compressor ramps up or down to match the total demand across all heads. The result? No wasteful on/off cycling, noticeably lower power bills and indoor noise levels that are barely audible, below 21 dB for most brands. Add app control, individual timers, voice compatibility and hospital-grade air filtration and you have zoned comfort that suits Melbourne’s unpredictable weather and highly demanding climate type perfectly.

Types of Multi-Head Split System for your Melbourne Home
If you’re past the “one room is fine” stage and the Melbourne summers have taught you that everyone in the house wants their own temperature without turning the balcony into a condenser farm, a multi-head split is your mate. One outdoor unit, multiple indoor heads, no arguments. Here’s the lineup most of our customers end up picking from once they realise how many rooms they actually can cool:
Twin Multi Split
Perfect for small apartments or when you just want the bedroom and living room sorted. One outdoor unit seamlessly runs two separate indoor heads, usually wall-mounted. It’s the first step up from a single split, and honestly, the one most young couples in Richmond and Footscray choose.
Tri Multi Split
Three rooms, one outdoor unit. Great for two-bedroom or office spaces where everyone wants their own temperature. At SmartElectric, we fit heaps of these in South Yarra and Prahran apartments, two bedrooms plus the open-plan living area, all running happily off the one condenser kept outside.
Quad Multi Split
Four indoor units from a single outdoor condenser, the goldilocks choice for most three-bedroom homes or bigger office spaces. Mix wall units in the bedrooms with a cassette in the living room if you like. Probably the system we sell most often in Hawthorn, Kew and Brighton renovations.
Penta Multi Split
Five rooms covered by one outdoor unit. Ideal for double-storey townhouses and offices or family homes where the kids fight over the thermostat. You can have bedrooms on wall units and living zones on cassettes, total peace at home and only one condenser outside.
Hexa–Octa Multi Split
Six to eight rooms from just one outdoor unit. The solution to when your strata only allows one condenser, or you’ve got a big house or a bigger workspace in Toorak or Canterbury. Wall units, cassettes, even slim ducted, whatever you need, it all runs together beautifully.
