Air Conditioning Installation in Somerville from Impulse Electrical Contractors, based nearby in Dromana and servicing the wider Mornington Peninsula. Around the village shops, local schools and the surrounding hobby farm belt, suburban family homes, older established houses, hobby farms and larger rural blocks need electrical work that is safe, tidy and suited to local conditions.
Call 0418 383 232Air conditioning in Somerville, on our side of the job, is the dedicated circuit, the isolator and the switchboard check. Older family homes often have no spare way for a split system, so the electrical work includes the board. On a hobby farm the outdoor unit may sit a long way from the house board, and that run has to be planned. Impulse Electrical does that electrical work from our Dromana base, alongside your refrigeration installer.
Reverse-cycle air conditioning needs a safe, correctly sized electrical supply before it can cool and heat reliably. Impulse Electrical completes the electrical side of split-system and air conditioning installations, including dedicated circuits, isolators, switchboard checks and neat cabling. We work with refrigeration installers or your chosen technician to make sure the unit is powered safely and compliantly. In Somerville, peninsula homes face hot northerlies, cool winter mornings and strong afternoon sun, so correct electrical sizing matters for comfort and reliability. Impulse Electrical is fully licensed — A Grade A53308 and REC 25266 — with $25M public liability and a Certificate of Electrical Safety supplied on every job.
We do not guess the circuit from the brochure. We look at the board, the route to the outdoor unit and the isolator position, then we install the supply the unit needs. You leave with a labelled circuit, a tested isolator and a COES. Call 0418 383 232.
A split system needs its own circuit, sized for the unit the refrigeration installer is fitting, with an isolator at the outdoor unit and a cable run that is fixed and protected. On an older township board that circuit often does not fit until the enclosure is upgraded. On a larger block we check whether the unit is fed from the house board or from a shed sub-board, because a long undersized run will not do. We do not connect a new unit to a power point.
The cooling load is the installer's calculation. Our part is whether the Somerville board can feed it. In the older family homes it often cannot, and saying so before the unit is on the wall avoids a second visit. A unit for a living room in the township and a unit at a shed on a hobby farm are both dedicated circuits. They are not the same cable route, and we do not pretend they are.

The electrical supply. We run the dedicated circuit, fit the isolator and check the switchboard. The refrigeration installer or your chosen technician hangs and commissions the unit. We coordinate so the circuit is ready when they need it.
Often, after the board is upgraded or a spare way is confirmed. Many older township boards have no room for another circuit. We look before the unit is on the wall, and we say when the board is part of the job.
The route is part of the job. On a hobby farm that can be a long run to a shed or to the far side of the house. We check the board that will feed it, and we do not use a cable that is too small for the distance.
Yes, if that building's board has capacity for a dedicated circuit. We do not piggyback the unit on a general power circuit or on the bore pump circuit. If the sub-board is full, the enclosure is part of the conversation before any cable is run.
