Air conditioning, heating and cooling in Brunswick 3056

Brunswick's Victorian and Edwardian terraces and workers' cottages have narrow frontages, shared walls and little roof space, so most installs here are wall-mounted split systems. A multi-split runs two or three rooms from one outdoor unit, which matters when there's only a small courtyard or side path to put it in.

The outdoor unit usually goes on the rear wall, in the courtyard or on a balcony. We keep it away from neighbours' windows where we can, and a unit fixed to a shared wall needs anti-vibration mounts so its hum doesn't carry next door.

Ducted reverse-cycle still suits some Brunswick homes: larger houses with a usable roof space, and renovations or apartments with bulkheads that can hide a slim ducted unit.

Brunswick has many apartment buildings, from converted factories to new blocks along Sydney Road and the Upfield line. In most, the outdoor unit sits on the balcony or a plant deck, and the owners corporation has to approve the install first. Send us the building's rules and a photo of the balcony, and we'll tell you what's possible before quoting.

Split systems in small terraces work hard through summer, often in west-facing rooms with little shade. A yearly service with a full coil and drain clean keeps them cooling properly, and cleaning the filters yourself every month or so in summer helps in between.

If a unit won't start, leaks water inside or blows warm air, our repair service finds the cause and quotes the fix before any work starts.

Most of Brunswick's older homes were built with fireplaces, not central heating. A reverse-cycle split in the main living area heats it efficiently in winter and cools it in summer, and a multi-split adds the bedrooms. We work on reverse-cycle systems, not gas heating.

Sydney Road's cafes, bars and restaurants run coolrooms, under-bench and display fridges and kitchen exhaust hoods. We install and repair commercial kitchen rangehoods and exhaust fans, repair and maintain the refrigeration, and look after air conditioning in dining rooms and offices. Repairs are quoted before work starts, and maintenance is booked around service times.
