0450 963 633Air Conditioning in New Farm, Brisbane
The Brisbane River wraps around New Farm on three sides, and homes near the water catch a breeze, but the peninsula’s apartments, flats and closely packed cottages can still hold heat right through a humid summer. Cockatoo Plumbing Electrical is based in Toowong, Brisbane, and supplies and installs split system air conditioning in New Farm houses, units and townhouses. Call 0450 963 633.
Units and the body corporate
Most New Farm air conditioning enquiries come from unit owners. Before anything is installed, read your building’s by-laws: many bodies corporate set rules about where outdoor units may sit, how pipework is hidden and whether balcony or roof positions are allowed. We can give the committee what it needs to decide, including unit dimensions, the mounting method and the manufacturer’s noise figures, so the approval request is simple to assess.
Interwar flats with solid walls
Older brick and rendered flats often have thick masonry walls, small eaves and no ceiling access from inside the unit. The pipe route and the outdoor unit position have to be planned together. Sometimes a back-to-back install straight through one wall works; sometimes the outdoor unit belongs on a lower roof or a courtyard slab, with a longer run concealed in a painted cover.
Riverside properties
Some low-lying parts of New Farm fall within Brisbane River flood areas. On those sites we prefer wall brackets or raised stands to ground slabs for the outdoor unit, and we suggest looking up the address on Brisbane City Council’s Flood Awareness Map before settling on a position.

Queenslanders and cottages
In a New Farm Queenslander, a split system in the main bedroom and the living area is the usual starting point. Pipe runs go under the house wherever possible so nothing crosses the street frontage. If most rooms need cooling, a zoned system may suit better; see ducted air conditioning in New Farm.
