Covering Mittagong, Bowral and the northern Southern Highlands.
Up in the Highlands cold, reverse-cycle ducted is as much about heating as cooling.

We cover the northern Southern Highlands: Mittagong, Bowral, Braemar, Welby, Colo Vale and Aylmerton. It's a cooler climate up here, so for these big rural and acreage homes, reverse-cycle ducted is as much about winter heating as summer cooling. A lot of the homes are all-electric, so a ducted system does both off the one unit. We've worked the Wollondilly and up into the Highlands since 1991 with our own crew, and we make the drive plenty of city firms won't.

Southern Highlands

The northern Southern Highlands runs from town homes in Mittagong and Bowral to big rural and acreage properties through Braemar, Welby, Colo Vale and Aylmerton. Cooler climate, big floor plans, long duct runs, and almost all of it all-electric, so reverse-cycle ducted carries the heating and cooling year round.

Reverse-Cycle Ducted for the Highlands Cold

Up here it's the heating that matters most. The Highlands get genuinely cold, and most homes are all-electric, so a reverse-cycle ducted system that heats the whole house in winter and cools it in summer off the one unit is exactly what you want. We size for the cold mornings as much as the hot afternoons, and on the big acreage properties we zone hard so you're not heating a wing nobody's in. It's a different job to a city install, and we know it.

We run Panasonic, Daikin and Actron, Mick handles the bigger jobs since 2009.

Check our sizing calculator and pricing guide. We also cover the Wollondilly, Picton and Tahmoor on the way up. For repairs see our ducted repairs page.

Ducted Heating and Cooling for Highlands Homes

For the Southern Highlands, ducted is really about reverse-cycle heating that also cools in summer. The big rural and acreage homes through Mittagong, Bowral, Braemar and Colo Vale are nearly all all-electric, so one ducted system replacing a heater and a cooler is the cheapest way to run the house. We size for the genuine Highlands cold and zone hard for the floor space. Ducted air conditioning in the Southern Highlands done right keeps you warm in July and cool in January.

Ducted Advice for Southern Highlands Residents

On a big rural or acreage home, zone it hard so you're not heating a wing nobody's in. It's the biggest thing for your winter power bill.

Get a mob that does rural jobs and knows the cold. A city quote sized for cooling alone won't keep you warm up here.
