The Geebung question: ducted or splits?

Air conditioning a Geebung home usually comes down to one decision. About 94% of homes here are detached houses, most of them from the post-war expansion that began in 1947, and around 72% are owner-occupied. Most owners want more than one room cooled, so it’s whole-home ducted or a few splits, and every installer you ring seems to have a different opinion.

Choose on a hunch and you can end up paying for zones you never use, or living with three wall units when one ducted system would have been neater.

That’s what we’re here for. We send one vetted installer who looks at your roof space, layout and budget, then quotes the option that suits, upfront in writing.

Geebung is a working suburb too, with the Robinson Road East industrial area zoned for industry since 1949. That means aircon jobs in Geebung include workshops, offices and small factory spaces as well as family homes.

Common jobs around Geebung

Each lines up with how the suburb grew.

Ducted retrofits

Post-war homes with workable roof space can take a zoned system. See our ducted air conditioning page.

Multi-split systems

One outdoor unit and two to four indoor heads, handy if you’d rather not line the side of the house with condensers.

Old-unit upgrades

Long-term owners swapping tired units for efficient inverter models.

Workshops and offices

Robinson Road East businesses often need commercial air conditioning, from a single office split to larger units.

Ducted vs multi-split for a post-war house

Ducted gives you discreet ceiling vents, one outdoor unit and zoning, so you can cool bedrooms at night and the living area by day. It needs enough roof space for the indoor unit and ductwork, and for a 2–3 bedroom home it often lands around $8,000 to $14,000, indicative only.

A multi-split runs several wall-mounted indoor units off one outdoor unit. It’s often cheaper up front for two or three rooms and doesn’t need much roof space, but every room depends on that one condenser. Separate splits are another option if there’s room for more than one outdoor unit. A good installer will price the one that fits your house, not the one that’s easiest to sell.

Common questions

Geebung aircon questions

Which works better in a post-war Geebung house: ducted or multi-split?

It depends on the roof space and how many rooms you want cooled. If there’s decent space and you want most of the house done, ducted usually wins on comfort and looks. If you only need two or three rooms, or the roof is tight, a multi-split or separate splits often cost less. The installer will check during the visit.

Who handles the aircon Geebung businesses need on Robinson Road East?

Put the job in the form and choose commercial. We’ll look for an installer who does commercial air conditioning, not just home splits. Give them the rough floor area, what the space is used for, how many people work there and whether you have three-phase power, and they’ll come back with a written quote.

Our first split system is 15 years old. Replace it now or wait?

If it still cools well and isn’t noisy, there’s no rush. If it’s struggling, leaking or uses R22 refrigerant, replacing it before summer avoids an emergency job in the heat. Combining the replacement with a second room on the same visit can also save on call-out and electrical work.

Do I need a switchboard upgrade for ducted in Geebung?

Sometimes. Ducted systems draw more power than a single split, and some post-war homes still have older switchboards with limited space. A licensed electrician needs to confirm the board and supply can handle it. If an upgrade is needed, it should appear as a separate line in the written quote so nothing comes as a surprise.
