Electrical and air conditioning across South Perth homes and tenancies

That depends on the building and where the proposed equipment and services need to go. Work within your apartment may be your responsibility, while common walls, risers, main switchboards, rooftops, external façades and other shared areas can fall under the control of the strata company or building management. Before we recommend an installation, we look at the proposed indoor and outdoor-unit positions, pipe route, drainage, electrical supply and access requirements. Where building approval is required, it can be useful to have the proposed equipment details and installation route available before work proceeds.

Usually not. In a detached house, the switchboard and parking area are often under the control of the same owner. In an apartment building, the cable may need to travel through common property, shared electrical infrastructure or a managed car park. We need to consider your parking bay, available electrical capacity, cable route, metering arrangement and the building’s approval requirements. We assess those conditions before recommending a charger or installation method.

Yes, in many cases, but the route needs to be planned properly. Shared driveways can affect where cables can be run, where excavation is practical and how the finished work needs to be protected. We consider vehicle movement, property boundaries, existing services and access to the switchboard before choosing a route. If your villa sits behind another property, photos showing the switchboard, driveway and proposed work area are particularly useful when you contact us.

Outdoor-unit position is always worth considering carefully. We look at neighbouring bedrooms, windows, boundaries, walls, access for servicing and the way sound may travel around the property. Traffic noise does not automatically make condenser location irrelevant. The equipment still needs to be positioned sensibly for your household and nearby occupants. We also consider practical issues such as airflow, drainage, pipe length and future maintenance access.

Not necessarily. Apartments with large windows, upper-level exposure or strong afternoon sun can have significant heat loads, but simply choosing a larger unit is not always the best solution. We consider room size, glazing, orientation, insulation, ceiling height, occupancy and how the space is used. Correct sizing matters because an oversized system can introduce its own comfort and operating issues. We assess the room and heat load before recommending equipment.
