Split or ducted: older homes and new estates

Geelong's older homes, the weatherboard and period houses of Newtown, Geelong West, Belmont and the inner suburbs, mostly suit split systems: no ducts, and a unit in each room you use most. Homes in the newer estates of Armstrong Creek, Charlemont and Mount Duneed usually have the roof space for ducted reverse-cycle, which heats and cools every room from one system with zones.

Servicing and repairs in Geelong

Our page on air conditioning servicing in Geelong explains what a service includes and how often to book near the coast. For a system that won't start, leaks or blows the wrong temperature, our air conditioning repairs in Geelong start with finding the cause, and the repair is quoted before any work.

Salt air and outdoor units

Near Corio Bay and the coast, salt in the air settles on outdoor unit coils and fins and speeds up corrosion. Rinsing the outdoor unit with fresh water now and then, and a yearly service, both help. If you live near the water and are choosing a new system, ask about models with coastal protection on the coils.

Reverse-cycle heating and cooling in Geelong

Geelong's winters are cold enough that most homes want heating as much as cooling. Reverse-cycle systems do both from one unit, and a ducted system with zones heats the bedrooms at night without heating the whole house. We work on reverse-cycle systems only, not gas heating.

About the area

Geelong's homes

Greater Geelong runs from Corio and Norlane in the north, through central Geelong, Newtown and Geelong West, to Belmont, Highton, Grovedale and Waurn Ponds in the south, and the growth areas of Armstrong Creek, Charlemont and Mount Duneed.

The older suburbs around the centre have weatherboard and period homes, often with limited roof space; the southern growth areas are full of new homes built for ducted systems. Being on the bay, homes closest to the water also deal with salt air on their outdoor units.

Pricing

What affects the price

Every job starts with a written quote that lists the work included and anything it depends on.

  • The system type and its capacity for the space
  • How many rooms, zones or outlets it serves
  • Where the indoor and outdoor units can go, and the pipe run between them
  • Wall type, and access to the roof space or under the floor
  • Power supply: a dedicated circuit, or room on the switchboard
  • Removing an old system

Homes close to the water may want an outdoor unit with coastal protection, which costs more than a standard model.

Ducted installs in new estate homes are usually simpler when the roof space is clear and easy to reach.

FAQ

Geelong questions

More answers on our FAQ page.

Which Geelong suburbs do you cover?

Homes across Greater Geelong: central Geelong, Newtown and Geelong West; North Geelong, Corio, Norlane and Lara; East Geelong and Whittington; Belmont, Highton, Grovedale and Waurn Ponds; and Armstrong Creek, Charlemont and Mount Duneed. If you're nearby and not listed, ask.

Which system suits a new Armstrong Creek home?

If the home has the roof space, ducted reverse-cycle with zones heats and cools every room from one system. If it already has gas ducted heating, split systems in the living area and main bedroom are a cheaper way to add cooling.

Does salt air affect outdoor units?

Yes. Close to the bay or the coast, salt speeds up corrosion of the coils and fins. Rinse the outdoor unit with fresh water now and then, keep it clear of leaves and book a yearly service. For new installs near the water, ask about coastal-protected models.

How often should a split system be serviced?

Once a year for most Geelong homes, and more often near the coast or if the system runs most days.

Do you also look after Geelong businesses?

Yes. We install, repair and maintain commercial air conditioning, coolrooms and refrigeration for Geelong shops, offices and food businesses.
