Glen Waverley’s major development came between the 1950s and the 1970s, on large blocks, typically 800 square metres. Much of that housing is now ageing, and renewal frequently means subdividing the bigger blocks into townhouses, so the suburb is changing in two directions at once.
For air conditioning Glen Waverley homes, that creates two quite different jobs. An original house often suits ducted air conditioning that replaces ageing heating and adds cooling in one step, while a new townhouse is usually better served by a compact system sized to each dwelling. Cooling is no luxury here: the Bureau’s Scoresby Research Institute station recorded a long-term average of 31.0 days a year at 30°C or hotter (1965 to 2026). As a family-owned installer based in Pakenham with over 20 years in the trade, we quote both kinds of job for free.


The original homes. Where the roof space allows, ducted reverse cycle air conditioning with zoning can heat and cool a whole 1950s to 1970s house from one system, with the outdoor unit tucked down the side. If the existing heater still works, you can plan the change on your own timetable rather than after a winter breakdown.
The new townhouses. When a large block is subdivided, each new dwelling needs its own heating and cooling. A split system per living area, or a compact ducted system in a larger townhouse, keeps running costs tied to the rooms each household actually uses. Planning the system before plastering means neater pipe runs and better-placed outdoor units.
The apartment precincts. The Monash Planning Scheme’s Glen Waverley SRL East Structure Plan Area encourages low to mid-rise apartment buildings in neighbourhoods including Bogong and Waverley Road. Flats and apartments were 10.2% of occupied homes at the 2021 Census, against 79.1% separate houses and 10.6% semi-detached or townhouses. In an apartment, one compact split system in the living area is often enough.
Overlays. Several individual places are on the Heritage Overlay, such as the dwellings at 2-12 Glentower Drive. If your home is one of them, a street-visible air conditioner can need a planning permit, and we will look for a position out of street view. A small area on the eastern side of the suburb is mapped Bushfire Prone Area, with no Bushfire Management Overlay.
