From split systems to ducted comfort

Heating and Cooling

Split systems, ducted heating and cooling, and ventilation — sized for the space, serviced on schedule, and repaired by the right trade.

Overview

An air conditioner fault might be electrical, mechanical or refrigerant-related, which is why HVAC work so often stalls between trades. One enquiry brings in the electrician, refrigeration mechanic or gasfitter the job calls for — new install, repair or scheduled servicing — with the repair-versus-replace question answered honestly before you spend money.

Who it’s for

  • Homeowners replacing or adding heating and cooling
  • Landlords meeting Victorian rental heating minimum standards
  • Property managers with failed heaters in tenanted properties
  • Commercial operators keeping premises comfortable for staff and customers

Problems it solves

  • Heating or cooling that fails at the worst time of year
  • Rental properties needing compliant fixed heating
  • Aged systems costing more to run than to replace
  • Condensation and stale air from poor ventilation

When it’s urgent

A burning smell from any appliance or a suspected gas fault is an emergency — stop using the system and start with the urgent damage page. Total heating failure for vulnerable occupants in winter is also worth flagging as urgent.

  • Split-system supply and installation
  • Split-system repair and diagnosis

The process

How this work usually runs

  1. Describe the rooms and the problem

    Room sizes, what the current system is or isn't doing, and any deadline — a compliance date, or a tenant without heating. A photo of the unit's model plate speeds things up.

  2. Get a straight recommendation

    Repair or replace, ducted or splits: we compare purchase price against running cost and say which option we'd pick and why.

  3. Licensed installation

    Refrigerant, gas and electrical work each carry their own licence class, so the right tradesperson does each part, with compliance certificates where the work requires them.

  4. Servicing that keeps up

    Filters, gas safety checks and pre-season servicing can go on a schedule, so the system is ready before the weather turns.

FAQs

Heating and Cooling questions

Can you replace a failed heater in a rental?

Tell us the situation in your quote request and mark it urgent. Fixed heating is a rental minimum standard in Victoria, so these jobs are treated as a priority, and like-for-like replacement can usually be quoted from photos of the existing unit.

My split system runs but doesn't cool. Is it worth repairing?

It depends on age and fault. Blocked filters and failed capacitors are cheap fixes; a refrigerant leak in a ten-year-old unit usually isn't. We diagnose before quoting, so you're choosing between real numbers rather than guesses.

Do I need separate trades for the electrical, gas and refrigerant work?

No — coordinating them is the point. Each of those tasks is carried out by a trade holding the licence it legally requires, booked as part of the one job, and the compliance paperwork, where the work calls for it, reaches you with the invoice.

Do you service gas heaters?

Yes, through licensed gasfitters. Regular servicing of gas heaters is recommended for safety, and rental providers have specific gas safety check obligations in Victoria — tell us if the property is a rental so the documentation matches.
