Split system installation in Drouin
Drouin is our first West Gippsland install destination heading east from Melbourne, and it functions as a regional town rather than a metropolitan suburb - the local commercial centre is genuinely independent rather than an extension of Melbourne's outer south-east retail. The residential grid has three distinct install profiles depending on where in Drouin the property sits - the older town core around the station and Princes Highway is dominated by 1970s weatherboard housing on quarter-acre blocks, the 1990s and 2000s estate development on the town outskirts runs on 500 to 700 square metre blocks with modern brick veneer construction, and the acreage properties along the outer Buln Buln Road and Rossiter Road corridors are on 4000 square metre to 5 hectare rural-residential blocks. The install brief varies accordingly - single-head or three-head splits in the town core, multi-head systems in the estate housing, and larger multi-head systems with 15 to 25 metre pipe runs on the acreage. Winter cold is 2 to 3 degrees below Botanic Ridge with regular frost from May through September and overnight minimums touching -2 to -4 degrees on the coldest nights.

Why Drouin homeowners choose Bellair
We spec cold-climate rated Mitsubishi Electric or Fujitsu compressors with base-tray heaters on outdoor units as standard for Drouin installs rather than as an upgrade. The drive from Botanic Ridge is 60 kilometres and 55 minutes via the Princes Highway - Drouin is at the outer edge of our regular install territory but the freeway access makes the round trip economical if we book two installs back-to-back. Baw Baw Shire planning has longer turnaround than the metropolitan councils - typically 5 to 6 weeks for permit-required installations. Drouin railway station is on the V/Line Traralgon line and about 20% of our Drouin customers are CBD commuters on weekday-lockbox install schedules with SMS commissioning at day end. The renovation activity is heavy on the 1970s weatherboard stock along Buln Buln Road, Sinclair Road and the streets around the station, with owners typically upgrading from a wood-stove-plus-single-air-conditioner setup to a whole-house multi-head reverse-cycle system. Typical Drouin multi-split spec is a 14 to 16kW outdoor unit feeding four indoor heads.

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.
