Keep Your Home Cool

Don't struggle with a hot home all summer.

Older properties often were not designed with modern cooling in mind. Adding a split system or ceiling fan can make a big difference to comfort without major building changes.

We handle the electrical side of cooling installations, making sure circuits, isolation switches and switchboards can safely support the new system.

  • Jesse GHome & Business Owner

    Most recently he installed a split system air conditioner and did a switchboard upgrade for me, both jobs were done to a really high standard. Neat cabling, everything tested and explained, and the worksite was left spotless when he was finished.

  • Greg PHome Owner

    Had Jessie from Class Above Electrical come out to install some new lights and a split system, and couldn’t recommend them enough. Turned up when they said they would, got stuck into it straight away, and left everything spotless after, no mess, no dramas.

Cooling and Ventilation Work We Do

Split System Air Conditioner Installation

Most homes have one room that never cools down, usually the west facing bedroom or the one at the end of the hall the ducted system never reaches. A split system solves it for that room without touching the rest of the house.

The part that catches people out is the switchboard. Air conditioning needs a dedicated circuit, and plenty of older boards through Knox and the Yarra Ranges have no spare ways left. We check that before you order the unit, not on installation day.

Ceiling Fan Installation

A ceiling fan makes a warm bedroom sleepable for a few cents a night, which is a much cheaper answer than running air conditioning until morning. Most fans also reverse in winter to push warm air back down off the ceiling.

The work involved depends on what's up there now. A straight replacement is quick. Adding a fan where there's only a light point means new wiring, speed control and fixing to structure rather than plasterboard.

Exhaust Fan Installation

If the mirror is still fogged twenty minutes after a shower, the exhaust isn't keeping up. That moisture ends up in the paint, the cornice and eventually the roof space, which is a much more expensive problem than the fan.

A common one we find is a fan discharging into the roof cavity rather than outside. Ducting it properly to an external vent is usually what stops mould coming back.

Switchboard Capacity for New Cooling

Every cooling job starts with the same question: can the board carry it? Older switchboards with ceramic fuses often have no spare capacity, and adding a split system circuit means upgrading the board first.

We check it as part of the quote so the cost is known upfront rather than appearing halfway through the job.
