Air Conditioning South Bunbury
- Sized for high ceilings
- Ducted and multi-head options
- Two owners, one standard
South Bunbury is one of the biggest suburbs in town, home to more than 8,800 people and street after street of established character homes. Most of those houses went up long before reverse cycle was part of anyone's plan, so the suburb keeps us busy with everything from single-room splits to full ducted changeovers.
We run the business from Stuart Street, about 3 km away, and we look after homes across the South West from that one address. Lewin and Duncan do the quoting and the installing themselves, so the advice you get at the quote is the standard you get on install day.
Cooling Character Homes
Character homes are lovely to live in and harder to cool. High ceilings, generous rooms and older wall construction all change what a system is up against, and so does the way the rooms flow into each other. We plan around those features instead of treating every house like a new build.
For many South Bunbury homes the answer is a multi-head split: one outdoor unit, with indoor heads only in the rooms you live in. It keeps the outside of a period home tidy, lets each room run its own temperature, and avoids forcing ducting into a roof that was never framed for it.
Right-Sizing Your System
Right-sizing is where bigger established homes are most often let down. A unit picked off a floor-area chart ignores ceiling height, insulation and window orientation, and that goes double for whole-home ducted, where the wrong capacity never stops costing you. So we measure the rooms, look hard at the ceilings and size the system for the house you actually have.
A system sized for your rooms rather than the brochure is the cheapest comfort upgrade you can make.
After The Install
One base covers the whole inner ring, and that shapes how we schedule. The crew that works your street also handles Carey Park air conditioning next door, which keeps travel short, scheduling honest and arrival windows tight. When we're already around the corner, a quote can often happen sooner than you'd expect.
A system proves itself in year five, not week one. We handle servicing and repairs from the same workshop, so filter cleans, gas checks and the odd fault call go to the people who installed the unit and still have its details on file.
New owners of old houses often inherit a mystery system with no manual and no service history. Bring us in early and we'll tell you what it is, what shape it's in and when it will owe you a decision.
Frequently Asked Questions
Bigger than floor area alone suggests. Ceiling height adds air volume, so a unit that suits a modern room of the same footprint can fall short in an older one. We calculate from room volume, insulation and orientation before recommending a capacity.
Usually, yes. One outdoor unit keeps the exterior tidy, each room gets its own head and its own control, and there's no need to push ducting through a roof space that was never framed for it. You also heat and cool only the rooms in use.
Reverse cycle is among the cheapest electric heating going because it moves heat rather than generating it. Your exact cost depends on tariff, unit size and how well the room holds temperature, and we talk through realistic running numbers at the quote.
You call, one of the owners comes out, and we measure the rooms and check the switchboard, roof space and unit positions. You then get an itemised price covering the unit, the install and any extras, with no obligation attached.
In most cases the running-cost and noise difference alone justifies it. Older wall units work hard for modest output, while a modern split gives more capacity for less power. We'll give you an honest read on how much life yours has left.

South Bunbury sits only a few minutes from the workshop, so quotes are easy to schedule and installs don't drag out across weeks. Every job gets sized properly, priced clearly and backed afterwards by the two people whose names are on the business, which is exactly how we'd want it done at our own homes.
