Air conditioning Bentleigh

Five Heritage Overlay precincts sit within Bentleigh, among them the Bentleigh Residential Precinct, the Rose Hill Estate Precinct and the Field Street Precinct. In those streets, how an outdoor unit looks from the footpath matters as much as how well the system heats and cools.

Air conditioning Bentleigh homes well means planning the whole layout: ducted air conditioning through the roof space with the outdoor unit kept out of sight, or a split system with tidy, concealed piping. Across the suburb, the 2021 Census counted 59.7% of occupied dwellings as separate houses and 19.6% as flats or apartments, so we size systems for everything from interwar houses to units.

Heating and cooling Bentleigh's interwar homes

The Bentleigh Residential Precinct (HO69) is almost exclusively interwar and early post-WWII housing, built from the early 1920s to the early 1950s, with intact hipped and gabled roofs that are predominantly terracotta tiled. The Bentleigh Heights Estate (HO169), Field Street (HO188) and Rose Hill Estate (HO168) precincts, and the retail precinct on Centre Road (HO160), are heritage precincts too.

Two layers of rules apply. Under the statewide Clause 43.01-1, a planning permit can be needed on a Heritage Overlay property for domestic services normal to a dwelling if they are visible from a street (other than a lane) or public park. Glen Eira’s local heritage policy adds to that, saying to conceal air conditioning units and other mechanical equipment or, where that is not possible, to place them where they will not detract from the significance of the heritage place.

For an interwar house under a tiled hip roof, a ducted reverse cycle system is often the neatest answer. Ducts run through the roof space, outlets sit in the ceilings, and the outdoor unit can go down the side or at the rear, out of street view where possible.

Excellent service. Was told it would take up to 2 weeks for new heater to be installed. Got a call the next morning that they had a cancellation and was done that day. Both men that was sent out were very helpful and polite.
