Parts of Mitcham sit in the Bushfire Management Overlay, under a Whitehorse schedule titled ‘Mitcham BAL-29 areas’, and parts are in a designated Bushfire Prone Area. If you live in or near those areas, any quote for air conditioning in Mitcham should start with a bushfire check.
Across the suburb, 62.8% of occupied homes are separate houses and 32.3% are semi-detached or townhouses. A split system suits many townhouses, and ducted heating and cooling suits the three bedroom house, which accounts for 46.3% of homes. I Heat and Cool is a family-owned business based in Pakenham, with over 20 years installing heating and cooling.


The BAL-29 areas. Whitehorse Planning Scheme Schedule 1 to Clause 44.06 requires a new dwelling in those areas to be constructed to BAL-29. Manningham’s Municipal Fire Management Plan also lists a 1965 fire that affected Mitcham among the bushfires that significantly impacted that municipality.
If you live there and want ducted evaporative cooling, CFA advice is to fit external ember protection screens: non-combustible mesh or perforated sheet in corrosion resistant steel, bronze or aluminium, with a maximum aperture of 2mm and no gaps greater than 2mm, fitted well before the fire season. Ducted reverse cycle is the other option, and it heats as well as cools.
Townhouses. With 32.3% of homes semi-detached or townhouses, a multi-head split system is often the tidy answer: one outdoor unit, and an indoor unit in each room that needs one.
Thomas Street. The Thomas Street Precinct (HO179) is a Heritage Overlay precinct of 49 places, per the Whitehorse Heritage Framework 2020. Inside it, an air conditioner visible from a street (other than a lane) or public park can need a permit, so where possible we tuck units behind the house or a side fence.
