Air conditioning around Strathpine

Around Strathpine, a lot of aircon calls start the same way. An old unit that’s been going since who-knows-when finally quits, and the ring-around begins: voicemail, a quote visit that never happens, then a price that doesn’t mention the switchboard.

Sorted. We send one vetted installer who handles established homes and Brendale businesses, and who quotes upfront in writing, including any switchboard work.

Strathpine is a long-established suburb in the City of Moreton Bay, with the council offices, Westfield Strathpine and a train station on the Redcliffe and Caboolture lines. Housing is mostly established lowset homes from the 1960s to the 1980s, with a growing number of townhouses and units close to the station and shops.

Because so many homes here have been around for decades, a lot of local aircon work involves replacing older units, sometimes ones installed 15 or more years ago that use R22 refrigerant. Older homes may also need the switchboard checked before a new circuit can be added for an extra split system.

Right next door, Brendale is one of the northside’s larger industrial and trade areas. Warehouse offices, showrooms and workshops there often need wall splits, under-ceiling units or ceiling cassettes, plus regular maintenance on systems that run through long working days.

Townhouses and units near the station

Newer townhouse and unit complexes close to Strathpine station and the shopping centre usually have body corporate by-laws about outdoor units, pipe covers and wall penetrations. Courtyards and balconies can be small, which limits where condensers can go and how well they get airflow.

In these homes a multi-head system, with one outdoor unit serving two or three rooms, is sometimes the neatest answer. Get body corporate approval in writing before you book, and include it with your enquiry so the contractor knows what’s permitted.

Common questions

Strathpine air conditioning FAQs

My old aircon still works. Should I replace it anyway?

Not necessarily. If it cools well and runs reliably, keep servicing it. Consider replacing it if it’s over 12 to 15 years old and needing repairs, uses R22 refrigerant and has developed a leak, or your power bills suggest it’s become inefficient. A contractor can give you an honest assessment during a service visit.

Do contractors handle small commercial jobs in Brendale?

Yes. We work with licensed installers who handle offices, showrooms and warehouse spaces as well as homes. Tell us the type of premises, roughly how big the space is and your trading hours when you enquire, so we can send someone who does that kind of work.

What size split system suits a typical Strathpine living room?

Many living rooms in established lowset homes are around 25 to 40 square metres, which usually suits a 3.5 to 7 kW unit. West-facing rooms, open kitchens and rooms with high ceilings need the higher end of the range. The contractor should measure and recommend a size.

Which nearby suburbs are covered?

The installers we work with in Strathpine usually also cover Brendale, Bray Park, Lawnton, Petrie, Joyner, Warner, Cashmere and Albany Creek. Put your suburb in the form and we’ll line up someone local who suits the job. If nobody we work with covers your street, we’ll tell you straight, rather than leave you hanging.
