Heating and cooling for Watsonia properties
Townhouse owners corporations may also have rules about where outdoor units can be mounted, so it is worth checking before you choose a position.
Even here in Melbourne, Aussie summers can be brutal. Older Watsonia homes often lack insulation and air conditioning, while upstairs bedrooms in townhouses can get very warm.
A reverse cycle split system can cool and heat individual rooms efficiently. Because split systems draw significant power, the wiring and switchboard capacity must be right – especially in older homes with original boards.
In units and townhouses we also consider where the outdoor unit can go and how the cabling will run neatly.
Sustainability Victoria offers independent advice on efficient heating and cooling.
