How a job runs
Four steps. You only have to do the first one.
Step 1: Tell us the job
Call or use the form. The suburb and a rough idea of the problem is enough to start.
Step 2: Get the options
We explain what we found and give you a fixed price, often with more than one way to do it.
Step 3: We do the work
On time, to Australian Standards, and the site is left clean and tidy when we pack up.
Step 4: It stays done
Every job carries our lifetime workmanship guarantee. If our work lets you down, we come back.
One company for the power and the comfort
A lot of contractors only do one trade. We do both, so the new split system, the circuit it runs on and the switchboard that feeds it are all checked by the same people. That usually means fewer visits and a better result.

Choosing a system · 4 min read
How many split systems does my home need?
Build a room-by-room brief that accounts for closed doors, different routines and where equipment can actually fit.
Planning an installation · 4 min read
What should I prepare for an air-conditioner replacement quote?
A useful photo set, a short room brief and clear access information help turn a rough enquiry into a defined installation scope.
Questions people ask first
All domestic electrical work, heat pump repairs and installs, and heating and cooling repairs and installs. One company does both trades, so the aircon and the circuit it runs on are sorted by the same people.
We give honest advice, keep you in the loop and pay attention to the details, however small the job. We'd rather fix the cause properly than patch it and see you again next month.
Send a detailed enquiry with your job, property and preferred date. We will confirm availability and a clear price before work starts.
On the electrical side we like to work with Hager, Clipsal, SAL and Brilliant Lighting, along with AWM and other reputable brands. For heating and cooling we work with Mitsubishi Electric, Fujitsu and Rheem. If you already have a system, we can usually service or repair it whatever the brand.
