Step into your comfort zone with our tailored air conditioning solutions
Our Services
An all in-one-system that provides both heating and cooling through a network of ducts hidden within the roof space. It works based on the heat pump principle, transferring heat from one place to another.
In the summer it removes heat from inside the home by transferring it to the environment, while in winter it uses the same technique to extract heat energy from the outside air and transfer it inside. This way of heating is roughly 3 to 4 times more energy efficient than even the best electric and gas heaters.
Evaporative to reverse cycle upgrade
Perth summers are long and hot, and evaporative air conditioners often fall short on the warmest days, especially in high humidity which is when the high temperatures are the most uncomfortable.
At the same time, an evaporative system doesn’t heat the house during winter, and it also leads to heat loss through your ceiling.
Making the switch to reverse cycle is easy and hassle free with our evaporative to reverse cycle upgrade service. We will decommission and remove your evaporative cooler and all the old ducting components from your roof space, patch up your roof, fully install and commission your new reverse cycle system, and take all the rubbish with us, all within one working day*.
*Large multi storey houses might take two daysReverse cycle full replacement
If your existing ducted air conditioner is undersized, poorly installed, airflow restricted, or is more than 15 years old, it’s often more cost effective to replace it with a brand new system rather than keep spending money on repairs. Enjoy smart features, better performance, lower energy costs, and a 5 year comprehensive warranty when you choose our full changeover service.
Reverse cycle unit only replacement
If your aircon unit is underperforming or needs costly out of warranty repairs but the ducting components are in good condition, choosing our unit only replacement service is a great way to breathe new life into your existing system without breaking the bank.
Reverse cycle wall splits
For apartments, detached granny flats, or downstairs living areas of some multi storey houses, a wall split might be the best heating and cooling solution.
As they’re designed to heat and cool a single room or living space, this is what they’re the best at. You could heat your room within minutes, or get immediate relief from the heat with one of our compact, low profile, and efficient wall split air conditioners.
Ducted reverse cycle air conditioning
A clear winner in performance, cost effectiveness, and energy efficiency
Heating and cooling in one system
Ducted reverse cycle air conditioning offers a sophisticated climate control solution ideal for whole-home comfort. A discreet installation of ducts distributes both cooling and heating evenly across multiple rooms while integrated filters capture dust and other allergens, improving the air quality within your home.
A well designed ducted system can effectively replace both evaporative style coolers and portable electric or gas heaters, while offering better performance and energy efficiency. It’s your all-in-one solution for staying comfortable year-round.

For ducted air conditioner units we’ve selected 4 top brands to work with.
Daikin for their efficiency, excellent warranty, and commitment to manufacturing their indoor units in Australia
Panasonic for their class leading Nanoe X built in air purifier feature and extra wide operating temperature range
Mitsubishi for their innovation and reliability
Samsung for delivering the best value for money
For ducting and zoning components we work with Advantage Air as their features, ease of use, and after sales support is simply second to none.

This can vary depending on the complexity of the install, but our installers typically take between 5 and 10 hours on a single storey house, and we rarely need more than one working day to get everything completed.
If the job is an especially complicated one, we might need to arrange for the electrical work to be completed the following morning, but this usually only takes about two hours. -
For single storey homes with 3 or more bedrooms we generally recommend a ducted system as this is usually the most cost effective solution. With a single indoor and outdoor unit you’ll be spending less on service over the years compared to having to maintain multiple splits. It’s also a more low profile solution with most of the system being hidden in the roof space.
Apartments often don’t have the necessary ceiling clearance for a ducted system, and for some multi storey houses it might not be feasible to run ductwork down to the ground floor after the house has been built. In these cases the best solution might be one or more split systems, or a combination of an upstairs ducted system and a downstairs split.
Whatever the case may be, our goal is to understand your needs and come up with the best climate solution for your home.

We only supply and install hand picked air conditioner models that are specifically designed to withstand the harsh Australian climate. All of our systems come with a 5 year comprehensive warranty on parts and labour, and a 10 year warranty on mechanical ducting components.
With regular servicing, an air conditioner should last over 10 years before needing major repairs, and we regularly see units in the 15-20 year range still working without issues.
Evaporative to reverse cycle upgrade
Take the next step in home comfort
Quick turnaround, no mess
Ready to swap your evaporative system for a reverse cycle one that performs better, helps prevent mould, filters the air in your home, and also keeps you warm in the winter? It doesn’t have to be a drawn out and messy process!
We’ll decommission and dispose of your old evaporative air conditioner, patch up the roof, and have your brand new reverse cycle system ready to go by the end of the day*, leaving no mess behind.

Precise temperature control
While some evaporative air conditioners offer temperature controls, they are ultimately limited by the outside wet bulb temperature. For example, on a 42 degree day with 50% relative humidity, this type of system would be outputting 33 degree air at best. And as they don’t offer any type of heating, you’ll have to rely on inefficient gas or electric heaters, which often fail to heat the whole house while consuming a lot of power.
Our reverse cycle ducted systems come standard with modern inverter technology, which means they have fine control over compressor speed and air pressure. The Myair and eZone control systems by Advantage Air are able to regulate airflow to individual zones in 5% increments, ensuring the system as a whole is as precise as it gets.
Better performance, cleaner air
Unlike evaporative air conditioners which draw outside air into the house and cool it by increasing its humidity, refrigerated systems circulate the air inside while reducing its humidity. As a result, they can cool the house much more effectively on hot days, especially in high humidity where an evap would often fall short.
As the air circulates in the house, a multi layered return air filter captures dust and other particles, improving the air quality inside. This filter is easily accessible from inside the house, unlike an evaporative cooler which is on the roof and requires disassembly to be cleaned.
Frequently asked questions
-
Yes, there are two main reasons why reverse cycle and evaporative ducted systems don’t work together.
Not enough room in the roof space
The two systems would be “fighting” against each other as the evaporative cooler increases humidity and the reverse cycle air conditioner decreases it
-
Unfortunately not for a number of reasons.
Reverse cycle systems use smaller diameter ducting as they don’t need to move as much air volume. Reusing the larger diameter ducts from an evaporative system would reduce the air velocity and pressure, leading to poor performance.
The configuration of the ductwork is different, and reverse cycle systems will almost always have a greater number of zones, which require a different duct layout.
An evaporative system has no return air, as it’s drawing air into the home from the outside.
-
In most cases we recommend against this, especially in bedrooms. While the optimal placement for evaporative vents is closer to the centre of the house, for reverse cycle systems it’s the opposite. To ensure good circulation of air within the home, we want to place the supply vents farther away from the return air vent which is usually located in the central hallway. Simply replacing the existing evaporative vents which are almost always located right next to the doors would compromise the efficiency of your system.
-
You can choose to keep the old components after we’ve disassembled the system, but most people prefer to get rid of it. We offer full rubbish removal and we never leave rubbish in your roofspace.
-
Yes, we reinstate the roof battens that were cut out to make room for the evaporative dropper, and replace the tiles or roof sheets.
