In Ringwood, the person deciding on heating and cooling is often a landlord. At the 2021 Census, 39.3% of occupied homes were rented and 13.0% were flats or apartments, which also shapes what kind of system will fit.
Air conditioning Ringwood apartments usually means a compact split system, with the outdoor unit placed where the building allows. For landlords, one date matters: 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. Separate houses are still the majority, at 76.0% of occupied dwellings, and for them ducted air conditioning is often the better fit. Our family-owned business works out of Pakenham and has over 20 years in heating and cooling.


Ringwood had 8,696 private dwellings at the 2021 Census. Among occupied homes, 13.0% were flats or apartments and 10.8% were semi-detached or townhouses. Ringwood was also one of the 10 activity centres reviewed in the pilot of the State Government’s Activity Centres Program, which aims to plan for 60,000 new homes across the 10 centres by 2051.
For apartment owners. In an apartment, a high wall split system is usually the practical choice. Check with your owners corporation about where the outdoor unit may go before you book the work.
For landlords. Replacing a rental heater with a reverse cycle split before it fails means the work happens between tenancies, not in the middle of winter, and you choose the system rather than taking whatever is available on the day.
On the heritage streets. Seven named Heritage Overlay precincts sit in the suburb: Haig Street, Kendall Street, Ellison Street, Wilana Street, Pitt Street, and Wantirna Road North and South. On that land, a permit can be required for domestic services visible from a street or public park, and an outdoor unit can count, so we keep units out of street view where possible.
Parts of Ringwood are in a designated Bushfire Prone Area, and a pocket of Maroondah’s Bushfire Management Overlay sits on the suburb’s northern edge.
The Bureau’s Viewbank station, with records from 1999 to 2026, has a January mean maximum of 28.3°C, with an average of 40.8 days a year at 30°C or hotter and 14.0 at 35°C or more, so cooling capacity matters here.
