Split system installation in Cheltenham
Southland dominates one edge of Cheltenham, but the housing that matters for our work sits back from it — streets of post-war brick and California bungalows, plenty on the larger, deeper blocks that the sandbelt part of Melbourne is known for. The generous blocks are a help. Outdoor units aren't jammed against a fence line, so we've got room to site the condenser where it runs well and stays out of the way, and there's usually space to route a tidy line. The post-war homes are single-level with compartmentalised rooms, so we plan how to distribute cooling properly — often a couple of well-placed heads or a multi-head rather than one big unit fighting the floorplan. Many of these homes sit on sandy soil, which is good news for drainage but means we still make sure the condensate run has proper fall and goes somewhere sensible. Ceilings are moderate, so sizing is straightforward once west-facing glass is accounted for. Cheltenham's far enough back from the bay that salt isn't the concern it is in the beachside suburbs, so the focus shifts to clean distribution and getting the older switchboards up to carrying a reverse-cycle load, which a lot of them need. Rebuilds and townhouses are appearing on subdivided blocks, and those are conventional open-plan jobs.

Why Cheltenham homeowners choose Bellair
Cheltenham is about thirty-two kilometres north-west of our Botanic Ridge base. Typical jobs here are multi-heads and zoned fits across post-war homes on generous blocks, switchboard upgrades on the older places, and straightforward open-plan installs in the newer townhouses. Replacements come up as older units reach the end of their run. Matt's ARCtick licensed, AU 55218, with 28 years on the tools, so the refrigerant work is done by the book. Every install carries the full manufacturer warranty plus our 7-year workmanship warranty. We install Mitsubishi Electric, Fujitsu, Toshiba, Panasonic, Samsung, Haier and LG, and we'll spec the system to suit the home rather than push a brand. Fixed price, agreed up front.
What's included in your Cheltenham install
A Cheltenham install includes supply of your chosen unit, fitting to AS/NZS 3000, neat back-to-back or routed pipework, condensate drainage, electrical connection, old unit removal and recycling, commissioning and clean-up. On the post-war homes on bigger blocks here we make the most of the space to site the outdoor unit sensibly and plan a tidy run, and we check the older switchboards carry the load before we quote. It's all in the fixed price agreed up front, with any upgrade flagged before you commit.

Arelys BarryMatt and his team are exceptional. I sent a message Saturday morning, I received a text message and a phone call, and a site visit by 11am. I am not use to such high customer service. Matt tried to have my install done asap as we had no heating. Install was also exceptional, as his pricing and quality of install and removal of old unit is beyond expectations. Was not an easy job but his quote was so honest and fair. I can hardly notice the outside cabling (first photo). He was also so polite, professional and caring. Thank you Matt and team. Will contact shortly for further split systems install. I will only contact your company in the future. Also, your system recommendation has been amazing. Many, many thanks for everything.

Milon PangCommunication with Matt was seamless and transparent. He came to inspect my place prior for a quick chat and to issue an estimated quote not long after. We eventually had a date fixed for two units to be installed. One required replacement of the previous old unit (included removal from property), and the second required a new hole to be drilled for installation. Matt and his team took roughly 3.5-4h. They were immaculate with their work! They left my place decently clean. I would have to say that this was the best customer service that I have had. Everything was discussed clearly, and my questions were addressed appropriately by Matt. I would highly recommended them if you are still considering! Thank you very much, Matt and your boys!

Alexander MoloksherWe recently had Samsung multi-head, multi-room split reverse cycle air conditioners installed throughout our home by Bellair, and we could not be happier with the outcome. Matt and his team completed the installation to the highest workmanship standards, with exceptional attention to detail and immaculate quality throughout the entire project. The finished result looks incredibly neat, professional, and well thought out. What truly stood out was Matt’s professionalism and communication at every stage of the installation. He kept us informed throughout the process, demonstrated outstanding competence and technical expertise, and delivered a flawless end result. It is clear that Matt and his team genuinely take pride in their work and customer satisfaction. I would highly recommend Bellair to anyone looking for high-quality air conditioning installation services.

Michelle BellHighly recommend Bellair! Matt and the team installed a ducted heating and cooling system at my clinic in Frankston and the whole experience was fantastic from start to finish. Professional, reliable, great communication, and the quality of work was excellent. Matt was an absolute pleasure to deal with and made the whole process so easy. Could not be happier with the result!

Onyeka RobinsonMatt did an excellent job installing our new Mitsubishi Electric heating and cooling system. He was professional, punctual, and took the time to explain everything clearly. The installation was completed to a high standard, and the work area was left clean and tidy. We're very happy with the result and appreciate the added peace of mind from the 5-year Mitsubishi Electric manufacturer warranty and 7-year Bellair workmanship warranty. Highly recommend Matt and the Bellair team.
