Air conditioning Frankston
What Frankston homes need.
Frankston has three kinds of home, and each one points to a different air conditioner. A lot of brick veneer houses from the 1960s to the 1980s, a growing number of units and townhouses, and the bigger homes of Frankston South on the hill and along the water.
01 / Brick veneer with ducted gas
Ducted gas heating already in the ceiling.
Most brick veneer homes across Frankston were built with gas ducted heating, and the ducts are still up there. If they are sound, add-on refrigerated cooling on the existing ductwork is the cheapest route to whole-home cooling, and one set of vents does summer and winter. Checking the ducts is the first thing we do at the assessment.
02 / Units and townhouses
Units, townhouses and apartments.
Frankston has more units and townhouses every year. The question there is rarely the indoor unit. It is where the outdoor unit can go, how far the line run is, and what the body corporate will approve. A single split or a multi-head system handles most of them, and we sort the outdoor position before we quote.
03 / Frankston South
Bigger homes on the hill and near the water.
Frankston South homes are larger, often split-level, and the ones near Olivers Hill and Long Island sit in salt air. Zoned ducted reverse cycle suits them, with the airflow to the far rooms designed rather than guessed, and a coastal-grade outdoor unit sited out of the spray where the property is close to the bay.
What a Frankston installation includes:
- A check of any existing ductwork before we recommend add-on cooling or a new ducted air system
- Sizing and airflow worked out for the actual house, not a catalogue table
- An energy-efficient reverse cycle unit from Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, Fujitsu or Panasonic
- Outdoor unit placement agreed with you, and with the body corporate for a unit or townhouse
- Work done under ARC refrigerant licence L062149 and VBA registration 50861
Choosing a system
Split, add-on or ducted for your Frankston home.
A/01
Add-on cooling to ducted heating
Already have gas ducted heating? We add refrigerated cooling to the existing ductwork from $4,900, so one set of vents does the whole year. The most common whole-home answer for a Frankston brick veneer, as long as the ducts pass inspection.
See starting prices →
A/02
Split system air conditioning
One room or zone, heating and cooling, from $1,600 installed. A three-room multi-head from $4,990. The right answer for units, townhouses, bedrooms and extensions, and the most energy-efficient way to condition one space.
Split systems →
A/03
Ducted refrigerated air conditioning
One concealed system for the whole house, zoned so you only run the rooms in use. From $6,990 for a small house, and most Frankston homes come in around $11,000. The system for larger family homes and new builds without existing ducts.

These are starting prices and the firm figure comes from the free quote. We do not sell the VEU rebate as a headline figure, but where you are replacing an old gas heater or an inefficient air conditioner with reverse cycle, the Victorian Energy Upgrades program can reduce the cost, and we will tell you at the assessment if your home qualifies.

How we work
Every job starts with an assessment.
We come to your home, look at the building properly, ask how you use each space, and recommend a system that suits it. Every installation is done under ARC refrigerant licence L062149 and VBA registration 50861.
i.
We visit
At your Frankston home, not over the phone. We check the roof cavity, any existing ducts, and where the outdoor unit can go.
ii.
We ask
How you use each room, so the system fits the way you live. A unit with one living area and a family home with four bedrooms need different things.
iii.
We quote
A clear, itemised written quote. Where there is a real choice, we lay out the options and what each one costs.
iv.
We install
A clean install on an honest timeline, by the same technicians from the first visit to handover, with our workmanship behind it.
Recent work

Splits, ducted systems and the ductwork behind them, installed by our own technicians on the Peninsula, in Frankston and across Melbourne. The quality is in the sheet metal and the line runs you do not usually see.
Reviews
What customers say.
Ten Google reviews so far, all five stars, most of them from Peninsula and bayside homes. Customers mention clear advice, technicians who turn up on time and a clean site afterwards. Our job is the comfort you were promised, not a sale and a quick exit.

Frankston FAQs
The honest answers, up front.
If your question is not here, call us on 1800 577 522, Monday to Friday 8am to 6pm, or email and we will answer it straight.
How much does air conditioning cost in Frankston?
Split systems start from $1,600 for one room and $4,990 for a three-room multi-head. Add-on cooling to existing ducted heating starts from $4,900. Whole-home ducted refrigerated air conditioning starts from $6,990 for a small house and around $11,000 for most houses. The firm figure comes from the free assessment. See all our prices.
My home has ducted gas heating. Add-on cooling or a new ducted system?
If the ducts are sound and sized well, add-on cooling is the better value: one new outdoor unit and coil on your existing ductwork, from $4,900. If the ducts are undersized, leaking or past their life, a new zoned ducted refrigerated system replaces heating and cooling in one go. We inspect the ductwork at the assessment and tell you which one your house needs.
Can you install air conditioning in a Frankston unit or apartment?
Yes. A split system or a multi-head is the usual answer. The parts to settle first are where the outdoor unit goes, how the pipework runs, and what the body corporate requires. We work that out before we quote so there are no surprises on install day.
Is there a rebate for replacing an old heater or air conditioner?
Often, yes. The Victorian Energy Upgrades program offers discounts when an old gas heater or inefficient air conditioner is replaced with an energy-efficient reverse cycle system. The amount depends on the home and the system, so we do not quote a figure here. We check your eligibility at the assessment and show it on the quote.
Do you do air conditioning repairs or servicing in Frankston?
No. We install and replace heating and cooling systems for homes, and we do not do repairs, maintenance or commercial work. If your system has a fault, a service company is the right call. If it is old enough that repair no longer makes sense, we will give you an honest replacement quote. Clean the filters each season and most systems look after themselves.
