Heating and Cooling in Canberra

Canberra asks a lot of a home. Frosty winter mornings call for real heating, while the dry summer heat calls for proper cooling, so you need a range. Getting both right, whether from one system or a combination, is what keeps a Canberra home comfortable year-round.

Climate Master has been doing exactly that for 30 years. We are a local Canberra team covering heating, cooling, air conditioning and hot water for homes and businesses across Canberra, Queanbeyan and the surrounding regions. We install systems, helping you handle Canberra’s winters and summers. That’s why we’ve been working with locals for three decades.

    The Climate Master team did a fantastic job installing our replacement gas heater. A stress-free experience from beginning to end with excellent communication along the way. Will definitely be using their services again.

    Electrified my gas hot water system to a heat pump with Marcus and his team of plumbers and electrician. Marcus was friendly professional and prompt with a competitive quote and on acceptance, organised installation within a quick time frame. On the day the plumbers and electrician got the job done within a few hours and were efficient and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend Marcus and the team if you want to electrify your hot water system to a more efficient heat pump system.

    Climate Master's installation of a new reverse cycle heater was excellent, the work carried out was efficient, and they did a great job removing our old ducted gas heater.

    The team at Climate Master were brilliant! We couldn’t have asked for better service and our reverse cycle ducted system is working perfectly, just in time for the cold weather.

    Heating and Cooling Across Canberra

    Because Canberra runs the full range of seasons, the systems that suit have to earn their keep in both directions. A setup that cools beautifully but cannot handle a Canberra July is only half a solution. We design and install for the whole year, so your home is warm when it is icy out and cool when it is not.

    We are a local team with 30 years behind us, and we cover Canberra, Queanbeyan and the surrounding regions across the ACT and nearby NSW. That local knowledge of the climate, the housing and the way people here live shapes what we recommend for your home.

    Air Conditioning Installation and Replacement

    Air conditioning is the core of what we do, whether you are fitting out a new home or replacing a system that has had its day.

    • Split, ducted and multi-head systems: a split system for a room or two, ducted for whole-home comfort, or a multi-head setup that runs several rooms from one outdoor unit with zoned control.
    • Replacing an old or failing system: if your current system is struggling, noisy or expensive to run, we assess it and handle the upgrade, removing the old unit and installing a more efficient replacement.
    • Servicing and repairs: regular servicing to keep systems running efficiently, plus repairs and fault-finding when something is not working as it should. Completed by our partnering company, Climate Plus.

    We work with quality brands including Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, Panasonic and Rinnai, and match the system to your home rather than pushing a one-size-fits-all box.

    Hot Water, Rebates and Finance

    Hot water systems are something most air conditioning companies do not offer. Climate Master supplies, installs and services hot water systems too, which means one local team can look after your heating, cooling and hot water together.

    • Gas, electric and heat pump hot water: we install and replace gas, electric, instantaneous and heat pump systems. A heat pump hot water system works like a reverse-cycle unit and uses far less electricity than a conventional electric tank, which is why it is a popular upgrade.
    • ACT rebates and incentives: the ACT Government offers rebates and incentives for energy-efficient upgrades like reverse cycle and heat pump hot water when upgrading from gas, and there is interest-free finance available, such as the Sustainable Household Scheme. Eligibility rules and amounts change, so we help you work out what you may qualify for.
    • Finance to spread the cost: where a rebate or interest-free loan applies, or through other finance options, we can help you spread the cost of an upgrade rather than paying it all up front. 

    Ducted Gas Heating and Reverse Cycle

    Canberra winters are where heating really matters, and there is no single right answer, so it comes down to your home and how you want to run it.

    • Ducted gas heating: a powerful, even whole-home heat that many Canberra homes rely on through winter. We install and replace ducted gas systems, and replacing an old, inefficient heater is one of the most common jobs we do.
    • Reverse cycle, ducted and split: a reverse-cycle system heats in winter and cools in summer from one unit, and modern inverter systems are highly energy efficient, which is why so many homeowners are moving to them.
    • Evaporative and add-on cooling
      • Evaporative cooling suits Canberra’s dry summers and uses less energy than refrigerated cooling. It runs as a completely separate system with its own dedicated ducting, using water and electricity to power a fan that pushes cooled air through your home.
      • Add-on cooling is different because it connects to your existing ducted gas system and runs through the same ducting, using refrigerant to cool your home. If you already have ducted gas, add-on cooling lets you add refrigerated cooling without installing a second set of ducts.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How much does ducted heating and cooling cost in Canberra?

    It depends on the size of your home, the type of system, the number of zones, and whether it is a new install or a replacement, so there is no flat rate. A single split system is a much smaller job than a whole-home ducted system. The best way to get an accurate figure is a quote, where we assess your home and give you a tailored price, and where relevant, factor in any rebate you may be eligible for.

    There is no single best system. Choosing a system usually depends on your home, whether you have gas connected, your budget and how you like to run things. Reverse cycle is popular because it is the most energy-efficient in one system that both heats and cools, while ducted gas gives a strong, even winter heat that many Canberra homes prefer. Evaporative cooling suits the dry summers. We talk through the trade-offs and recommend what fits your place.

    The ACT Government offers rebates and incentives to help households move to energy-efficient systems like reverse cycle air conditioning and heat pump hot water, and there is interest-free finance available, such as the Sustainable Household Scheme. Eligibility and amounts change over time, so the best step is a quick chat where we check what currently applies to your situation. This is general information, not a confirmation of eligibility.

    It is a question a lot of Canberra homeowners are weighing up, often for efficiency, running costs and electrification. A reverse-cycle system heats and cools from one unit and can be very efficient to run, and with rebates or financing may help with the switch. Whether it is right for you depends on your home, your existing ducting and gas system, and how you use heating, so it is worth getting advice on your specific setup before deciding.

    Yes. We are a local team covering Canberra, Queanbeyan and the surrounding regions across the ACT and nearby NSW, for installation, replacement, servicing and repairs. If you are not sure whether you are in our area, get in touch, and we will let you know.
