We had Climate Master install an evaporative cooling system and they serviced this and the central heating every year. Happy with their service and pricing.

We used Scandia back in 2008 to install ducted gas, and were very happy with them – good price, showed up on time, and no problems with anything since.

We used actew’s energy shop. Very friendly, efficient and have good deals. Last year they offered $500 off your electricity or gas bill. This year it was $400 off the retail price of your system. They also had a payback plan, so you could pay in installments over 2 years. Very happy with everything.

We used Master Gasfitters in Fyshwick for both our ducted heating and evaporative cooling and they were great.

As an ex-employee of a wholesaler to the industry I can give some inside knowledge without having or having had any affiliations. Most company’s use subbies. When you get a quote ask them if the people who will be doing the work are employees or sub-contractors.

Climate Master and ActewAGL Energy Shop are basically owned by the same people from memory. I think they are #’s 1 & 2 in town.

Graham at Scandia and Lyndsay at MasterGasfitters are nice blokes and do good work.

John at Heating & Cooling Services is a good down to earth, no-nonesense bloke and does good work too.

Joe at Proactive also does good work and is a really nice chap. I think they are close to Thermal Active. Can’t remember the bloke’s name but also a nice guy.

Really depends on whether you want to give your money to a big company or a family run business.
