Split system installation in Menzies Creek
Menzies Creek is the passing point on the Puffing Billy line and the site of the Puffing Billy Museum - the two-track shed, the workshop, and the collection of old rolling stock. The suburb wraps around that rail corridor with steep gullies dropping away either side of Belgrave-Gembrook Road. What that means for install work: half the blocks up here are on a 1-in-6 or steeper slope, and the house is either cut into the hill (uphill side is a retaining wall) or perched on stumps out over the fall (downhill side is a two-storey drop). We work off scaffold or an EWP for anything above single-storey stump height and the outdoor unit almost never ends up on the ground - it goes on a cantilevered galvanised bracket bolted through the bearer, with a drip tray and a vibration isolator underneath so it doesn't broadcast compressor rumble through the timber floor upstairs. Menzies Creek homes are usually cedar-clad or hardwood weatherboard from the 1970s and 1980s - we drill through with a core cutter rather than a hole saw so the timber cladding doesn't split around the line-set penetration, and we finish with a colour-matched Colorbond flashing plate rather than a plastic wall grommet. The AusNet 22kV feed here runs along Belgrave-Gembrook Road and drops off to each property, so voltage at the socket in the far uphill houses can sag 8 to 10 volts under starting load. Inverter heads handle that fine - old fixed-speed splits do not.
Cool forested hills - cold winters, heating-first climate, bushfire-rated blocks
Why Menzies Creek homeowners choose Bellair
Menzies Creek is about forty-seven kilometres north-east of our Botanic Ridge base. The work here is heating-first sizing for a cool climate, long runs across bush and hobby-farm blocks, cooling the odd shed or studio, fire-rated placement to the block's BAL, and switchboard upgrades on the older homes. 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 climate and the property rather than push a brand. Fixed price agreed before we start.
What's included in your Menzies Creek install
A Menzies Creek 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 these bush blocks we allow time for the long runs, place plant to the bushfire rating, and site the outdoor unit up and clear of leaf litter. It's all in the fixed price agreed up front, with any switchboard 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.
