0450 963 633Air Conditioning in Red Hill, Brisbane
Red Hill homes catch the breeze, but many also catch the full western sun on the high side of the ridge, and a timber house with an uninsulated iron roof can hold that heat well into the evening. A split system in the bedrooms or the main living area is often the simplest fix. Cockatoo Plumbing Electrical is based in Toowong, Brisbane, and supplies and installs split system air conditioning across Red Hill. Call 0450 963 633.
Sizing for the room, not the brochure
We size each unit from the room itself: its floor area, ceiling height, window direction, insulation and whether it opens to a hallway or stairwell. A west-facing bedroom with tall ceilings can need more capacity than its floor area suggests, while a shaded room downstairs may need less. Getting this right is what stops a unit running flat out every afternoon.
Where the outdoor unit goes on a steep block
On sloping Red Hill sites the outdoor unit may end up on a wall bracket high above the ground, on a slab cut into the bank, or under the house. Each option affects noise for you and your neighbours, service access and how far the refrigerant pipes run. We also plan where the condensate drain discharges so it does not stain a wall or spill onto a stairway.

Keeping it neat in a character home
In a Queenslander, the pipe run usually goes through the floor or an external wall into a cover duct. We work out the route before drilling, keeping covers straight and painted where possible, and avoiding visible runs across the front of the house.
Ceiling fans and air conditioning together
Many Red Hill homes already have ceiling fans in the bedrooms. Running a fan on low with the split system set a couple of degrees warmer usually feels just as cool and uses less power. If a room has no fan, we can install one at the same time, since the work shares the same ceiling access.
