What's Included in Multi-Head System Installation

Single Outdoor Unit with Multiple Indoor Heads

One outdoor unit connected to 2 to 5 indoor heads across different rooms. The outdoor unit is sized to the combined load of all indoor heads and mounted at the correct clearance.

All Lines Concealed in the Ceiling Cavity

Refrigerant lines for every indoor head run through the ceiling cavity to the outdoor unit. No surface-mounted pipe runs visible inside the home in most properties.

Independent Zone Control

Each indoor head operates independently. Different temperatures, modes and schedules for different rooms via individual controllers or a central app.

Dedicated Electrical Circuit

A dedicated circuit from the switchboard to the outdoor unit, correctly sized for the total system load.

Frequently Asked Questions About Multi-Head Installation

How many indoor heads can one outdoor unit support?

Most residential multi-head systems support 2 to 5 indoor heads from a single outdoor unit. The maximum depends on the outdoor unit model and the combined capacity of the indoor heads. Kenny sizes the system correctly during the site visit.

Can each zone be set to a different temperature?

Yes. Each indoor head operates completely independently. You can run heating in one room and cooling in another simultaneously, or set different rooms to different temperatures.

Is a multi-head system more expensive than multiple single units?

The upfront equipment cost is typically higher but you have only one outdoor unit to maintain and the overall installation is cleaner. Running costs are often lower due to more efficient system operation.

Can additional zones be added to the system later?

In some cases, yes, if the outdoor unit has remaining capacity and the refrigerant lines were roughed in during the original installation. Kenny can confirm at the time of the initial install whether future expansion is possible.
