Air conditioning installation in Coburg

Most Coburg installs are in renovated homes and townhouses. A renovated interwar or post-war home with an open-plan extension often suits a larger split in the living area and smaller units in the original bedrooms, or one ducted system if the roof space allows.

Townhouses usually take one split per level, and some have a ceiling space for a slim ducted unit. Apartments near Sydney Road and Coburg station need owners corporation approval for the outdoor unit.

Ducted reverse-cycle for Coburg homes

Ducted systems suit Coburg homes with a clear roof space: one indoor unit in the roof feeds a ceiling vent in each room, with zones so you heat or cool only the rooms in use. If you're renovating, the cheapest time to add ducts is before the new ceilings go up.

Servicing and repairs in Coburg

Coburg's summers are hot and its winters cold, so most systems here run for much of the year. A yearly service catches blocked filters, dirty coils and failing parts early. When something does go wrong, such as an error code, ice on the pipes, water dripping indoors or a noisy outdoor unit, our repair service finds the cause and quotes the fix first.

Reverse-cycle heating and cooling in Coburg

Plenty of Coburg homes still rely on old heaters in one or two rooms. Reverse-cycle heating replaces them with one system that also cools; a ducted system heats every room on a timer, and splits heat the rooms they're in. We install and service reverse-cycle systems only, not gas.

About the area

Coburg's homes and businesses

Coburg is a large, established suburb along Sydney Road and the Upfield line. Its streets are mostly interwar and post-war brick and weatherboard homes, many renovated or replaced by townhouses, with newer apartments near the shopping strip and the station.

Coburg North has more post-war family homes and some light industry. Across the postcode, the common jobs are adding air conditioning to renovated homes, fitting townhouses level by level and moving homes off old heaters.

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

Adding ducts during a renovation, before the ceilings are closed in, costs less than retrofitting them later.

Two-storey townhouses may need a unit on each level or a longer pipe run to the outdoor unit.

FAQ

Coburg questions

More answers on our FAQ page.

Which system suits a renovated Coburg home?

It depends on the layout. An open-plan extension usually needs a larger split or its own ducted outlets, and the original rooms smaller splits. If the roof space is clear, ducted reverse-cycle with zones covers the whole house from one indoor unit.

Can a townhouse have ducted reverse-cycle?

Sometimes. It needs a ceiling space or bulkhead for a slim ducted unit and a place for the outdoor unit. Many Coburg townhouses use one split system per level instead.

What affects the cost of a split system install?

The unit's size, where the indoor and outdoor units go, the pipe run between them, the wall type and access, and whether the switchboard has room for a new circuit. Your written quote lists each part.

How often should air conditioning be serviced?

Once a year suits most homes. Book before summer if you mainly cool, or before winter if you rely on the system for heating.

Can reverse-cycle heat my whole home in winter?

Yes, if it's sized for the home. A ducted system heats every room; split systems heat the rooms they're in, so most homes use one in the main living area and smaller units in the bedrooms.
