Split system installation in Somers
Somers is a small coastal village on the Western Port side of the Mornington Peninsula and it has an interesting install characteristic that no other Peninsula suburb has - Western Port is a tidal-flats bay with extensive intertidal mudflats and mangroves rather than sandy beaches, and the local air chemistry is different from the Port Phillip Bay side. The salt spray load is similar to Port Phillip beach exposure but with added organic humidity from the intertidal mudflats, and outdoor unit coils in Somers pick up a distinctive corrosion pattern that combines salt oxidation with biological biofilm growth on the fin surfaces. We spec coastal-treated Mitsubishi Electric or Fujitsu marine-grade condensers as standard and advise customers on the maintenance schedule - a quarterly rinse of the condenser fins with fresh water plus an annual mild-detergent wash to control the biofilm. The 1960s beach cottage and 1970s weatherboard holiday home stock along the foreshore streets - Camp Hill Road, Ocean Grove Drive - has simple pipe routing through single-skin timber walls and wall-bracket outdoor unit placement at 600mm minimum above ground.
Western Port bay coastal exposure, salt-laden south-easterlies year round, mild coastal moderation, occasional summer humidity from tidal flats
Why Somers homeowners choose Bellair
Somers has a strong holiday-home demographic and about 40% of our Somers quotes are on properties owned by families based elsewhere in Melbourne who use the house for weekends and school holidays. That changes the install brief - the customer typically isn't present for the install and jobs run on a nominated-key or lockbox basis with the local property manager coordinating access, and we send commissioning photos and controller-pairing walkthrough by email at end of day rather than doing a face-to-face handover. Somers Yacht Club and the boat ramp are the local social hubs and weekend traffic on Frankston-Flinders Road peaks during summer - we book Somers installs for weekday mornings. The drive from Botanic Ridge is 32 kilometres and 35 minutes on a normal day. Mornington Peninsula Shire planning has moderate turnaround - typically 4 to 5 weeks for permit-required installations but most standard external installs don't need one. Winter southerlies drive rain horizontally into south-facing walls and we install a rear drip shield on any south or south-east facing outdoor unit as standard.

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.
