Split system installation in Kallista
Kallista is the artists' village of the ranges - Grants Picnic Ground at the top, the small strip of shops in the middle with the Kallista Tearoom and the community-run gallery, and a residential fabric of owner-built and artist-designed homes tucked into the tall timber around them. That artistic history matters practically: a higher-than-usual proportion of Kallista homes have a studio, workshop, kiln shed or writing cabin separate from the main house, and clients want those conditioned as their actual workday space. Studios need different sizing than a residential room - a ceramic studio with a kiln has completely different heat load and ventilation requirements than a painter's studio next door. We spend more time on room-by-room load in Kallista than we do anywhere else on the mountain. The main village itself has the tightest residential blocks in the ranges, so pipework routing gets creative on the older cottages that were built before setback rules tightened. Fire ratings are universal, and the community-run Kallista CFA is unusually active in local advice on the topic. Tank water, generator interlocks and long winter storm-outage tolerance all shape spec choices.
Tall-timber ranges - cold and damp, heating-first climate, bushfire-rated forest blocks
Why Kallista homeowners choose Bellair
Kallista is about fifty-one kilometres north-east of our Botanic Ridge base, in the tall timber. The work here is heating-first sizing for a cold, damp climate, fire-rated placement to the block's BAL, long runs across steep forested blocks, cooling the odd studio alongside the house, and switchboard checks on the older cottages. Matt's ARCtick licensed, AU 55218, with 28 years on the tools, so the refrigerant work is by the book. Every install carries the full manufacturer warranty plus our 7-year workmanship warranty. We fit Mitsubishi Electric, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, Samsung, Haier and LG, and we'll size the system for the mountain climate rather than push a brand. Fixed price agreed before we start.
What's included in your Kallista install
A Kallista 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. Up here we size room by room for the cool damp climate, spending extra time on studio and workshop spaces where kilns, workshops or writing rooms have their own thermal profile. We place plant to the property's bushfire rating and site the outdoor unit up and clear of leaf litter so it breathes and drains, working around the tight setbacks common in the village core. It's all in the fixed price agreed up front, with any switchboard upgrade flagged and priced 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.
