Air conditioning installation in Footscray and Seddon

Installation is what most people in Footscray and Seddon need, and most installs here are split systems. The suburbs' Victorian and Edwardian cottages have little or no roof space, so the usual setup is a larger split in the living area and smaller units, or a multi-split, for the bedrooms.

Seddon's narrow blocks leave little room beside the house, so the outdoor unit often goes in the backyard or on the rear wall, with the pipe run planned along the outside of the house.

Apartments near the station and the river

Footscray's newer apartment buildings cluster around the station and along the Maribyrnong River. An apartment install usually means a balcony-mounted outdoor unit and a short pipe run, but the owners corporation decides what's allowed, from the unit's position to how the pipes are covered. Send us its rules and we'll check them before quoting.

Reverse-cycle heating and cooling in Footscray

A reverse-cycle split heats a cottage's living area in winter as well as cooling it in summer, and costs less to run than plug-in heaters. We work on reverse-cycle systems only, not gas.

About the area

Footscray and Seddon's homes and businesses

Footscray and Seddon are among the oldest suburbs in Melbourne's west, with streets of Victorian and Edwardian cottages, many renovated, beside a growing number of apartment buildings near the station and the river.

Footscray's centre is one of Melbourne's busiest food areas, with the market and restaurants from many cuisines, which is why refrigeration and kitchen exhaust work sits beside home air conditioning on this page.

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

A cottage with no side access can need a longer pipe run to an outdoor unit in the backyard.

Apartment installs depend on the balcony space and the pipe routes the owners corporation approves.

FAQ

Footscray questions

More answers on our FAQ page.

Can you air-condition a Seddon cottage with no roof space?

Yes. Split systems need no roof space: each indoor unit mounts high on a wall and connects through the wall to an outdoor unit. A multi-split runs several rooms from one outdoor unit.

Where can an apartment's outdoor unit go?

Usually on the balcony or a plant deck, wherever the owners corporation allows. Check the building's rules first; we'll plan the install around them.

How long does a split system installation take?

A single split system is usually done within a day. A multi-split, or a longer pipe run around a cottage, takes longer; your quote includes a time estimate.

Do you service restaurant coolrooms and kitchen exhaust?

Yes. We repair and maintain coolrooms, display fridges and kitchen exhaust systems for restaurants and food businesses.

How often should a split system be cleaned?

Clean the filters about once a month while the system is in daily use, and book a full service once a year.
