Ducted Air Conditioning in Holland Park, Brisbane

Holland Park and Holland Park West stretch along Logan Road toward Mount Gravatt, with a busy shopping strip on the main road and quiet streets of interwar and post-war homes behind it. Many of those houses have been renovated, lifted or rebuilt, and owners often want one system to cool the whole home rather than a unit on every wall. Cockatoo Plumbing Electrical is based in Toowong, Brisbane, and installs ducted air conditioning in Holland Park. Phone 0450 963 633.

Post-war homes

A lot of Holland Park houses date from the 1940s to the 1960s: timber or brick, single storey, with modest roof spaces. Before quoting, we get into the roof to check clearance for the indoor unit, the framing it will hang from and a safe path for future servicing. Where the roof is too tight, a ducted unit under the house or a bulkhead can work.

Renovated and raised homes

When a house is raised and the lower floor enclosed, the new rooms need cooling too. Running ducts from the upper roof to downstairs is hard, so a second smaller ducted unit in the lower ceiling or a split system for one room is often the cleaner answer. In a full rebuild, planning outlets and the return air grille before ceilings go in gives the quietest result.

Shopping strip units and townhouses

Near the Logan Road shops there are townhouses and small unit blocks as well as houses. Ducted air conditioning can suit a townhouse with its own roof space, but body corporate approval is needed for the outdoor unit and any penetrations. In a unit with a concrete ceiling, wall splits are usually the practical choice.

Controls and zones

A wall controller or phone app can run each zone on its own timer: bedrooms overnight, the kitchen and lounge in the evening, the study during working hours. Three or four zones suit most Holland Park houses.

Bedrooms that never cool

A frequent complaint with older systems is that the furthest bedroom stays warm. Long, undersized or kinked duct runs are often to blame. When we replace a system we fix the layout as well as the unit, keeping duct that is still sound.

Supply and wiring

We can supply and install Mitsubishi Electric, Actron Air and Daikin ducted units. Our licensed electricians handle the dedicated circuit and switchboard capacity.
