Air Conditioning in Ashgrove, Brisbane

Ashgrove houses sit in sheltered, tree-lined valleys below Mt Coot-tha, which helps on some summer afternoons but not on humid nights when the air goes still. Bedrooms in older Queenslanders, upstairs rooms under an iron roof and newly built-in ground floors are the usual places owners want cooling. Cockatoo Plumbing Electrical is based in Toowong, Brisbane, and installs and services split system air conditioners in Ashgrove homes. Call 0450 963 633.

Fitting splits to timber houses

Indoor heads on VJ timber walls need solid fixing and a tidy route for the pipe, cable and drain. On a highset house, the outdoor unit can sit on a pad underneath or on a wall bracket, kept clear of laundry windows and neighbours’ bedrooms. Condensate needs to run somewhere sensible, not across a deck or onto the side path, so we plan the drain with the install.

Built-in lower levels

A ground floor built in under a raised house often has a lower ceiling, a concrete slab and fewer windows, so it can feel stuffy even when upstairs is pleasant. A correctly sized split for that room, with the head positioned to spread air along the length of the space, is usually enough. Ask about the room’s size, sun and use so the system is not oversized or undersized.

Splits or ducted?

Split systems suit one to three rooms and can be added in stages. If you want the whole house cooled from one system with zones, read our ducted air conditioning in Ashgrove page.
