Air Conditioning Installation in Sorrento from Impulse Electrical Contractors, based nearby in Dromana and servicing the wider Mornington Peninsula. Around the back beaches, the ocean side and the heritage streets of the village, heritage homes, architect-designed new builds, luxury renovations and back beach properties need electrical work that is safe, tidy and suited to local conditions.
Call 0418 383 232Sorrento’s larger homes run ducted reverse-cycle systems and the heritage cottages are being fitted with split systems as they are renovated — often two or three at once for a holiday house. Ducted and multi-head systems draw serious current, and on a supply already carrying pools, spas and heat pumps, the electrical side needs to be designed before the unit is chosen. On the ocean side, where the outdoor unit goes is as important as what it is.
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 Sorrento, 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.
Being on the southern Peninsula every week, we work alongside your chosen refrigeration installer or supply the electrical side for units you have already bought, and can do it in a changeover window. The circuits, isolators and switchboard work are tested and covered by a COES, so the installer can commission the units on a safe, compliant supply.
Every air conditioning system needs a dedicated circuit from the switchboard sized for the outdoor unit, an isolator switch beside the unit so it can be safely disconnected for service, and RCD protection. Ducted and multi-head systems in Sorrento’s bigger homes draw far more than a single split, so we check the mains and the board first and advise whether the supply can carry the system alongside everything else — sometimes the answer is a board upgrade, occasionally three-phase. In heritage cottages the board usually needs upgrading before the first split goes in.
Salt air on the back beach is hard on outdoor units and on the electrical fittings around them; isolators and conduit should be marine-grade, mounted clear of spray, and the unit positioned on the sheltered side of the house wherever possible — it lasts years longer. On heritage homes the aim is to keep the unit and conduit off the street frontage, and in renovations we run the circuits and fit the isolators before the plaster goes on.

Yes. The refrigeration installer mounts and commissions the unit; the electrical circuit, isolator and switchboard work must be done by a licensed electrician and covered by a COES.
Often, but not always on a single-phase supply. We check the mains and board before the system is chosen and advise whether a board upgrade or three-phase is needed.
On the sheltered side of the house, clear of spray, with marine-grade isolator and conduit. It is worth agreeing the position with both the refrigeration installer and the electrician before the bracket goes on.
Yes. We can run the circuits and fit the isolators in a changeover window ahead of the installer, which keeps the installation day short.
