Air Conditioning
Comfort that keeps up with a Melbourne summer
When the 40-degree days hit, your air con isn’t a luxury. It’s what keeps the house liveable. At TruEast, we design and install cooling systems that work when you need them most, and keep working for years after.

Not sure what to pick? Here’s what to think about
Picking the right system is a bigger decision than most people realise. Get it wrong and it runs harder, costs more, and wears out faster. Here’s what to weigh up before you buy.
How much space are you cooling?
A single bedroom needs a different system to an open-plan living zone. Too small and it can’t keep up. Too big and it wastes power.
Do you need heating too?
A reverse cycle system heats as well as cools. One unit, two jobs. Often the smartest long-term choice.
How’s your insulation?
Old windows and poor insulation make any system work harder. We’ll flag anything worth fixing before the install.
Gas Heater Replacements
Modern, efficient models that meet today’s energy standards
What about running costs?
Cheap units cost more to run. Premium systems cost more upfront but save you money every summer.
How many rooms or zones?
Multi-head, ducted with zoning, or VRV/VRF each has a sweet spot. We’ll match the system to your layout.
Not sure where to start? We’ll come out, take a look, and walk you through the options in plain English.
Warning signs your air con needs a look
Air con problems don’t usually appear overnight. They creep up. If any of these sound familiar, don’t wait for a breakdown on the hottest day of the year.
Catch it early and it’s usually a cheap fix. Leave it and you’re looking at a full replacement.

Frequently asked questions
How much does air conditioning installation cost?
It depends on the system and the property. A single split system for a bedroom is very different to a ducted install across a whole home. We come out, take proper measurements, and send a clear written quote before any work begins. No obligation.
What size air conditioner do I need?
Sizing depends on room area, ceiling height, insulation, orientation, and window size. Wrong sizing is the number one cause of underperforming systems. Our technicians size every job properly so your system runs efficiently and lasts longer.
Can one air conditioner heat my house too?
Yes. Reverse cycle systems both heat and cool. A ducted reverse cycle unit can replace gas heating entirely and often runs cheaper over the year. Worth considering if you’re upgrading anyway.
How often should I service my air conditioner?
At least once a year, ideally before summer. Regular servicing keeps efficiency up, running costs down, and catches small issues before they become expensive ones. Commercial systems usually need more frequent checks.
Am I eligible for the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) rebate?
Most Victorian households and small businesses qualify for something under the VEU program. The exact rebate depends on your existing system and what you’re upgrading to. We check your eligibility, handle the paperwork, and apply the discount directly to your quote.
How long does an installation take?
A standard split system usually takes half a day. A full ducted install can take one to three days depending on complexity. We give you a clear timeline in the quote so you can plan around it.
Ready for air conditioning that just works?
At TruEast, we don’t do one-size-fits-all. Every home and business has its own quirks, so every job starts with a proper conversation about what you actually need.
What you get is straightforward: quality installs, honest advice, and a team that stands behind the work.
