Berwick has two sides when it comes to heating and cooling. More than 50 entries in the Casey Heritage Overlay schedule carry a Berwick address, many of them on High Street, Brisbane Street and Peel Street. Across the suburb as a whole, 89.0% of occupied homes are separate houses, and 52.8% have four or more bedrooms.
So planning air conditioning Berwick homes starts with two questions. Is the property heritage listed, and how many rooms need to be comfortable at once? A listed home needs careful placement of the outdoor unit. A bigger family home usually suits zoned ducted air conditioning, which can heat or cool the bedrooms at night and the living areas by day. I Heat and Cool is family-owned, based close by in Pakenham, and has over 20 years in the trade.


Berwick has no residential heritage precinct, but it has a long list of individually protected places, such as the Mechanics Institute and Free Library on High Street, the High Street Avenue of Honour and Mary Blackwood House on Brisbane Street. The Cardinia Creek Area overlay (HO28) also reaches into the suburb, although it covers a creek landscape rather than a street of houses.
On land inside a Heritage Overlay, Clause 43.01-1 means a planning permit is needed for an air conditioner, heating or cooling system or hot water service that is visible from a street (other than a lane) or a public park. Whether a permit applies comes down to whether the unit can be seen, so on a listed property we place outdoor units out of street view where possible.
Elsewhere, house size drives the choice. With an average of 3.5 bedrooms per dwelling, a single wall unit rarely reaches every room. Zoned ducted reverse cycle runs from one outdoor unit and lets you condition only the zones in use, which helps keep running costs in check on a large floor plan. If you are replacing an older system, Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) rebates may apply to eligible upgrades.
Parts of the suburb also sit in the Bushfire Management Overlay and the Bushfire Prone Area. On those blocks, reverse cycle avoids putting an evaporative cooler on the roof, along with the ember screens the CFA advises for one.

We install brands including Daikin, ActronAir, Mitsubishi Electric and Panasonic, and Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) rebates may apply to eligible upgrades.
A split system heats and cools one room with no ductwork, and a multi head system runs several indoor units from one outdoor unit. They are a good fit for apartments and smaller homes.
