Repairs on older systems and split installs for homes without ducted - both keep us busy in Hinchinbrook.

Hinchinbrook sits between Hoxton Park and Green Valley in the south-west. We're out this way on the same run as both neighbours. The suburb has a mix of older housing from the late 1970s through the 1990s - some with ducted that's now aging, many without any central cooling at all. That means we do a mix of repair calls, full ducted replacements, and first-time split installs.

30+ Years

Hinchinbrook has mainly 1970s to 1990s housing on blocks of 450-650sqm. Homes are typically 3-bedroom brick veneer, a mix of private and housing commission stock. A good portion of the suburb never had ducted air conditioning installed - smaller roof cavities and older construction make ducted retrofits more involved. Splits are common here as the practical solution for homes without existing ductwork.

Air Conditioning Advice for Hinchinbrook Homeowners

If you're buying a home in Hinchinbrook and it has existing air conditioning, it's worth getting the system checked before settlement. A service call tells you the refrigerant level, filter condition, and whether any components are showing signs of failure. A few hundred dollars now can avoid a surprise repair bill in the first summer.

For landlords with rental properties in Hinchinbrook: a single 5kW split in the main living area satisfies the residential tenancy minimum cooling requirements and is the most cost-effective option. We can usually get it quoted and installed within a week of your call.
