We supply and install three split system brands in Brisbane and Logan: Haier, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Daikin. A 2.5 kW unit, supplied and installed back to back on a single storey home, costs $1,836.51 with Haier, $2,053.81 with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and $2,162.40 with Daikin, including GST. All three makers give a 5 year warranty on a home split system, and we add our own 5 year workmanship warranty.
The quick answer
- 2.5 kW supplied and installed, including GST: Haier $1,836.51, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries $2,053.81, Daikin $2,162.40.
- Haier, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Daikin each publish a 5 year warranty for split systems in Australian homes.
- Every split system we install carries our 5 year workmanship warranty.
- The size of the system moves the price more than the brand does.
Which split system brand should you choose?
Pick the brand by the room and the budget. Here’s the same job, a 2.5 kW split installed back to back on a single storey home, with only the unit changing.
| Brand | 2.5 kW supplied and installed | Maker’s warranty, home use | Where we often suggest it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Haier | $1,836.51 | 5 years | Bedrooms, rentals and several rooms at once |
| Mitsubishi Heavy Industries | $2,053.81 | 5 years, parts and labour | Main bedrooms and rooms where quiet matters |
| Daikin | $2,162.40 | 5 years, parts and labour | Buyers who want the Daikin name |
Whichever you choose, the installation is the same job, done by the same licensed team.
How we choose the brands we install
We’re installers, so we carry the ranges we’re happy to stand behind in our own service work. Three ranges we trust beat ten we can’t back, and it keeps this comparison honest.
Our view: correct sizing and a careful install matter more than the badge. A good unit that’s too small for the room runs flat out and sounds like it.
Haier: the lowest price of the three
Haier is the brand that makes cooling three or four rooms in one go easier on the budget. At $1,836.51 including GST for a 2.5 kW unit supplied and installed, it’s the lowest price of our three.
It doesn’t skimp on cover. Haier’s warranty page gives a five year manufacturer’s warranty on products under 25 kW of cooling capacity, which covers home split systems. Models and sizes are on our Haier air conditioner installation Brisbane page.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries: our pick for bedrooms
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is our premium line, and we often fit it in main bedrooms where noise matters most. At $2,053.81 including GST for a 2.5 kW unit supplied and installed, it sits between the other two on price.
The maker’s warranty FAQ gives a 5 year parts and labour warranty on units installed in homes. It also says the unit must be installed by a licensed ARCtick installer, or the warranty is void. Our ARCtick licence is L181564. See the range on our Mitsubishi Heavy Industries air conditioning Brisbane page.
Comparing quiet units?
- Ask for the indoor sound level of the exact model on its spec sheet.
- Compare models of the same size, on the lowest fan speed.
- Check the system is sized for the room, so it isn’t running flat out.
Daikin, if you want that name
Daikin is the dearest of our three at $2,162.40 including GST for a 2.5 kW unit supplied and installed. We suggest it when you want that name on the wall and you’re happy to pay a little more for it.
Daikin’s warranty FAQ gives a 5 year domestic warranty, as long as the unit is installed in line with the installation manual and the warranty card. Our Daikin air conditioning installation Brisbane page has the model line up.

Size moves the price more than the brand
Match the size to the room before you choose a badge. The sizing guide explains how to work it out.
| Size | Usually suits | Price including GST |
|---|---|---|
| 2.5 kW | Bedrooms and studies | from $1,836.51 (Haier) |
| 3.5 kW | Large bedrooms, small living rooms | from $2,036.50 |
| 5.0 kW | Living rooms (dedicated circuit included) | from $2,436.50 |
| 7.1 kW | Open plan areas | from $2,836.50 |
| 8 to 9.5 kW | Very large spaces | from $3,783.25 |
Some homes need extras. A wall bracket is $104.50, a double storey or highset install is $275, and a condensate pump is $484.65, all including GST. Our air conditioning installation Brisbane page explains what a standard install covers, and every job gets a fixed written quote.
Multi head systems and whole home cooling
A multi head system runs several indoor units from one outdoor unit. It can suit a home with little outdoor space, and we quote it after a site visit because the pipe runs decide the price.
We don’t install ducted air conditioning. For whole home cooling, we usually suggest two to four split systems in the rooms you use most. Each room runs on its own, and one fault doesn’t stop the whole house.
- Prices for every size and brand are on our air conditioning prices page.
- Logan homes are covered on the air conditioning installation Logan page.
- Once they’re on the wall, a yearly air conditioning service keeps any brand running well.
Common questions about split system brands
Is Mitsubishi Heavy Industries the same as Mitsubishi Electric?
No. They’re two separate companies that share part of a name. The brand we supply and install is Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.
Do you install a split system I bought somewhere else?
Yes. Install only starts from $1,239.81 including GST for a new unit you supply. Our 5 year workmanship warranty covers the installation, and the unit’s own warranty stays with the seller and the maker.
Can installing it myself affect the warranty?
Yes. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries says its warranty is void without a licensed ARCtick installer, and Daikin’s warranty depends on installation in line with its manual. Handling refrigerant also needs a licence.
Our advice
Choose the size first, then the brand. Haier gives you the lowest price with the same 5 year maker’s warranty, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is our pick for bedrooms where quiet matters, and Daikin suits you if you want that name. We’ll price all three for your room so you can compare.
