Split system installation in Rivervale

Rivervale sits just south-east of the Perth CBD on the river side of Belmont, where original post-war cottages share the streets with a fast-growing wave of villas and double-storey infill - and each calls for a different approach to cooling.

Split system air conditioning for Rivervale homes

Rivervale is one of those inland Belmont suburbs that has changed a lot in a short time. You still find plenty of original brick-and-tile homes from the post-war decades, and on those jobs the limiting factor is rarely the wall - it is the switchboard. A lot of these houses still run older boards with little spare capacity, so a new air conditioner needs its own dedicated circuit before it can be safely energised. Because Otter Air is dual-licensed in both refrigeration and electrical, we handle the switchboard work and the split system installation Rivervale homeowners need under the one booking, rather than leaving you to chase a separate sparky.

The other half of the suburb tells a different story. Rivervale has absorbed a heavy load of redevelopment - subdivided blocks, grouped villas and double-storey townhouses sitting close together. Upstairs bedrooms in these newer builds heat up in the afternoon, so a common request is a multi-head system: one outdoor unit feeding the downstairs living zone and one or two upstairs rooms, with the pipework run neatly through the roof space or an external chase. We plan condenser placement carefully here, because the tighter the block and the closer the neighbour, the more outdoor-unit noise and access matter.

Being a short hop from the CBD, the airport and the Great Eastern Highway, Rivervale runs warm through summer like the rest of Perth's inland belt, and afternoons can sit still and hot. Whether you are after air conditioning Rivervale that cools a master and open-plan living area, or simply replacing a tired old unit that has stopped keeping up, we size the system to the room rather than overselling it, and leave the wiring tidy and compliant.

“Phenomenal service provided by Matt! The works was done on schedule and to a professional standard. The price was also very reasonable for the works done. I highly recommend for anyone looking to get aircon work done, and I wish Otter Air Conditioning the best for their future endeavours.”
