Cooling and heating older Macleod homes
Even here in Melbourne, Aussie summers can be brutal. Post-war and mid-century homes often have little insulation and rely on an ageing heater, leaving rooms uncomfortable for much of the year.
A reverse cycle split system cools and heats individual rooms efficiently. Because split systems draw significant power, older homes may need a new circuit or switchboard work before a unit goes in.
For landlords, adding heating and cooling can make a rental more attractive to tenants.
Sustainability Victoria offers independent advice on efficient heating and cooling.
