Split system installation in Olinda
Olinda is the horticultural centre of the Dandenongs. The National Rhododendron Garden, the succession of specialist nurseries along Falls Road, and the tight village of Olinda itself give the suburb a curated, cultivated feel unlike anywhere else on the mountain. Behind the gardens sit stone cottages, guesthouses turned homes, and architect-designed places set on treed blocks that back onto Sherbrooke Forest. Because so many properties border cared-for garden estates, the outdoor unit placement often has to work around ornamental planting - clients don't want a condenser fouling a mature rhododendron border or a fern grotto. Every job here is heating-led: winters are wet, foggy and long, and clients pay more attention to how a system holds a lounge on an eight-degree evening than to summer performance. Almost every block sits on a bushfire-rated address, so wiring routes, ember protection and the outdoor unit's exposure work to the BAL. Access varies wildly - some properties open straight off Olinda-Monbulk Road, others sit at the end of gravel driveways that wind through fern and blackwood. The older cottages have small rooms and undersized wiring, so a switchboard review comes before the quote, while the architect homes glaze to the forest and need volume-based sizing. Tank water and long power outages after storms are part of the brief here.
Mountain gardens - cold, damp and shaded, heating-first climate, bushfire-rated treed blocks
Why Olinda homeowners choose Bellair
Olinda is about fifty-two kilometres north-east of our Botanic Ridge base, up in the mountain gardens. The work here is heating-first sizing for a cold, damp climate, fire-rated placement to the block's BAL, long runs across steep treed blocks, 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 and the home rather than push a brand. Fixed price agreed before we start.
What's included in your Olinda install
An Olinda 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 firmly for the cold, damp climate, place plant to the property's bushfire rating, and site the outdoor unit up and clear of fern and leaf litter so it breathes and drains. 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.
