Melbourne’s eastern suburbs run from heritage streets in Camberwell and Malvern to bush blocks in Warrandyte and Park Orchards, and heating and cooling has to suit both. Start with summer. The Bureau of Meteorology’s Viewbank station, the nearest open station to suburbs such as Doncaster, Blackburn, Mitcham and Warrandyte, averages 40.8 days a year that reach 30°C or more and 14.0 that reach 35°C or more (1999 to 2026). Cooling capacity needs proper attention.
Heritage streets. Camberwell and Malvern have many Heritage Overlay precincts, from Prospect Hill Road and the Golf Links Estate to the Coonil Estate and Claremont Avenue. A condenser in view of the street on a Heritage Overlay property can trigger the need for a planning permit, so wherever the house allows, we find an outdoor unit spot hidden from the street.


Bushfire edges. Park Orchards and Warrandyte lie wholly within a designated Bushfire Prone Area, with the Bushfire Management Overlay over most of each suburb. An evaporative cooler on those roofs needs ember screens, which CFA guidance says should be corrosion-resistant steel, bronze or aluminium with gaps of no more than 2mm. These are big homes, too: 76.2% of occupied homes in Park Orchards had four or more bedrooms in 2021, the kind of house that suits zoned ducted reverse cycle air conditioning.
Apartments and rentals. Other parts of the east are denser. Doncaster had 27.3% of its occupied homes as flats or apartments in 2021, and compact split systems suit most of those. In Burwood, 37.2% of occupied homes were rented. If you let a property, keep this in mind: from 1 March 2027, when a gas or electric heater in the main living area of a Victorian rental home permanently fails, the replacement must be an energy efficient electric system, such as reverse cycle air conditioning.
