Putting in an LG split or multi-split system? The unit installer looks after the refrigeration; the circuit, isolator and switchboard work need a licensed electrician. We do that across the Inner West and Sydney.
Ring 0421 772 661 and tell us the LG model, how many indoor heads you're planning, and where the switchboard is.
LG makes split system air conditioners alongside its appliances and TVs, and its systems turn up in plenty of Sydney homes. The work splits cleanly between two trades: an ARC-licensed refrigeration technician installs the units and pipework and handles the refrigerant, and an electrician wires and isolates the system.
Our part starts at your switchboard. We add a suitably protected circuit, run the cable to the outdoor unit, fit an isolating switch there, connect the supply and test the lot. We can work to your installer's timetable so the system can be commissioned without delay.
Blue Link Electrical is a licensed electrician based in Hurlstone Park (NSW Contractor Licence 332956C), wiring air conditioners in older cottages and terraces as well as newer homes and apartments.
LG offers wall-mounted splits, multi-split systems where one outdoor unit drives several indoor heads, and ducted systems. Multi-splits are worth a mention: electrically they usually need one supply to the outdoor unit rather than a circuit per room, but that single circuit has to suit the combined capacity. The installation manual confirms how your particular setup should be fed.
LG's ThinQ app gives Wi-Fi control of compatible units. That's a network matter, not an electrical one. From our side, the key questions are the supply the manual specifies, the protection it recommends, the cable size for your run, and whether your switchboard and main supply have room for it.
Sized to the outdoor unit's documented supply. Our dedicated circuit guide explains why it shouldn't share.
Rated for outdoor use and fitted near the condenser so the system can be isolated for servicing.
Safety switch protection on the circuit, usually by an RCBO sized to the manual's recommendation.
A spare position on the board and enough capacity in the supply. An older board may need an upgrade.
Planned with your installer so the power and the refrigerant pipework reach the outdoor unit neatly.
1. Confirm the setup. LG model, number of indoor heads, outdoor unit location and supply point from the manual. We also check the switchboard.
2. Rough-in. We install the cable and the new protective device at the board.
3. Fit-off. Isolator fitted and sealed, supply connected once the units are in place. The refrigeration technician then completes and commissions the system.
4. Certify. Testing to AS/NZS 3000 and a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work.
We check the protective device, the terminations and the insulation of the circuit. If they pass, the issue is inside the unit and goes to LG's service network.
Faded, brittle isolators let water in and cause trips after storms. See power tripping when it rains.
A larger combined load can push an older board or supply too far. We check before adding it.
Adding indoor units changes the system's load. The circuit should be rechecked against the manual.
Usually not on a multi-split; power typically goes to the outdoor unit. Your model's installation manual confirms the arrangement.
No. The units, pipework and refrigerant are handled by an ARC-licensed refrigeration technician. We do the electrical work.
App setup is done through LG's app on your home Wi-Fi. We provide the power; pairing is separate.
Only if it has no room or can't safely take the extra load. We'll check and tell you before quoting.
