0450 963 633Air Conditioning in Kelvin Grove, Brisbane
Kelvin Grove sits on a series of ridges just north-west of the city, and much of its housing went up long before air conditioning was usual: timber cottages under iron roofs, older brick unit blocks, and newer apartments with wide glass doors that take the afternoon sun. Each needs its own approach to cooling. Cockatoo Plumbing Electrical is based in Toowong, Brisbane, and supplies and installs split system air conditioning in Kelvin Grove. Call 0450 963 633.
Bedrooms in rental houses
Landlords upgrading a share house often put a small split system in each bedroom rather than one large unit in the lounge, so every tenant controls their own room. Several outdoor units on one wall can be grouped on a common bracket or slab, with their pipe runs combined in a single cover duct to keep the side of the house tidy. Where wall space is short, a multi-head system with one outdoor unit serving two to four rooms is another option.
Units and apartments
In a strata building the outdoor unit location usually decides everything else. Balconies need clearance for airflow and somewhere for condensate to drain, and some buildings restrict units on the facade or the roof. We check the by-laws and make sure the body corporate has approved the work before anything is fixed to the building, then match the indoor unit to the room size and orientation.

Getting the capacity right
An undersized unit runs flat out on a February afternoon and never quite gets the room comfortable; an oversized one switches on and off so often that the air stays clammy. We work out the capacity from floor area, ceiling height, insulation and the direction the windows face, then recommend a model to suit. Rooms in student houses that face west under a bare iron roof usually need more than the floor area alone suggests.
