Split system installation in Montrose
Montrose marks the point where the suburbs give way to the mountain - it sits at the foot of Mount Dandenong, part settled family suburb and part bush-block gateway to the ranges, with the tree line climbing steeply behind it. That transition shapes the work. Down in the more suburban streets it's post-war and newer brick homes on regular blocks, conventional replacement and upgrade jobs. But head up the slope and the blocks get bigger, bushier and steeper, and the bushfire rating comes into play - plant placement, wiring and ember protection working to the BAL, with long runs and leaf litter to plan around. Being at the foot of the mountain it's noticeably cooler and damper than the flatland suburbs, so heating is a real priority and we size reverse-cycle for a genuinely cold night, and we're mindful that persistent damp and shade are harder on an outdoor unit than a dry suburban spot. Tank water and older switchboards are common on the bush blocks. Montrose is inland with no coast, so it's about clean distribution, cool-climate heating and fire-safe placement on the bush blocks. It's a suburb with a foot in two worlds - suburban and mountain - so we plan each job to the block, the terrain and the fire rating.
Foot of the mountain - cooler and damper than the flatland, cold winters, bushfire-rated bush blocks
Why Montrose homeowners choose Bellair
Montrose is about forty-eight kilometres north-east of our Botanic Ridge base, at the foot of the mountain. The work here is conventional replacements and upgrades in the suburban streets, and fire-rated placement, long runs and cool-climate heating on the steeper bush blocks up the slope. 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 home, its exposure and the cooler climate rather than push a brand. Fixed price agreed before we start.
What's included in your Montrose install
A Montrose 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 bush blocks up the slope we place plant to the property's bushfire rating, allow time for long runs, and site the outdoor unit up and clear of leaf litter and persistent damp. 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.
