Websites for Perth split-system installers, evaporative cooling specialists, ducted heating contractors and refrigeration mechanics. Your ARC licence, the name of whoever holds the electrical licence for your installs, and the suburbs you'll drive to are on every page, with a call button that stays on screen through a run of 40-degree days.
Picture three Perth enquiries in one February week. A family in Ellenbrook has an evaporative cooler blowing warm, damp air. An owner in the hills wants a new roof unit and has just learnt the block is on the bushfire map. A landlord in Victoria Park needs a split system for a narrow side setback without a complaint from next door. Each one reads your site for a different answer before picking up the phone.
A customer may not know that a WA technician with a refrigeration and air-conditioning restricted electrical licence isn't authorised to install or alter fixed wiring. Building and Energy tells customers to check that a licensed electrician, employed by a licensed electrical contractor, does the electrical installing work on a new unit. So say who that is: your own EC number in the header, or the electrical contractor you work with, named.
Show your refrigerant handling licence number, and say which one it is. A restricted split-system licence covers installing and decommissioning single-head splits under 18 kW; the full RAC licence goes further. If you hold the full one, list the multi-head, ducted and repair work that relies on it, because a customer can't tell the difference from a van.
Perth's dry summer air is the kind evaporative coolers work best in. Keep evaporative installs, pad replacements and pre-summer start-ups apart from refrigerated work, with photos of your own jobs, and say who connects the water and the drain, so the customer doesn't book the wrong trade.
If you fit roof-mounted evaporative coolers on homes in designated bushfire prone areas, a short section on non-combustible covers and butterfly closers, with a link to the state's bushfire map, answers the question owners in those suburbs ask first. It also shows them you'll ask for the site's bushfire attack level before you quote.
WA puts responsibility for a noisy installation on the installer as well as the owner. A few lines on how you choose a position, plus a quote form that asks how close the nearest neighbour's bedroom window is and takes a photo of the spot, starts the job well and shows you've thought about it.
Name the manufacturers that have appointed you as a dealer or installer, and explain what that changes for the customer's warranty claim. Use a brand's logo only where its dealer terms allow it, and keep brands you simply supply in the services text instead.
Autumn and spring, between the cooling and heating seasons, suit a clean, a filter change and a refrigerant check, or draining an evaporative unit for winter and bringing it back before summer. A page that lists what each service includes, how often you'd suggest it and whether you send reminders gives customers a reason to book before the first hot week.
An air conditioning job in Perth sits under two separate licensing systems. Handling refrigerant needs a national licence from the Australian Refrigeration Council: the full RAC licence covers refrigeration and air conditioning work outside the automotive industry, the restricted split system licence covers installing and decommissioning single-head splits and some small heat pumps under 18 kW, and a business that buys, stores or sells refrigerant also needs a Refrigerant Trading Authorisation. The electrical half belongs to Building and Energy, part of the Department of Local Government, Industry Regulation and Safety. Its fact sheet on the restricted licence says qualified refrigeration and air-conditioning mechanics must hold a restricted electrical licence for electrical work on that equipment, and lists the most that licence can cover: disconnecting and reconnecting equipment, fault-finding power and control circuits, modifying, replacing or repairing parts within the equipment package, changing its control circuits in switchboards, and fitting factory-supplied cable between split-system parts up to 4 kW. The same sheet says restricted licence holders aren't authorised to install or alter the installation's fixed wiring.
Building and Energy enforces that line. In May 2025 it reported that the owner of a Perth air-conditioning business, who had never held an electrical licence, pleaded guilty and was fined over two split systems installed at a Queens Park home in 2024; the job included adding a protective device in the switchboard and connecting fixed wiring, which needs an electrical contractor's licence. Its advice to customers is to check that a licensed electrician, employed by a licensed electrical contractor, does the electrical work for a new unit, using its online licence search or the ServiceWA app. Repairs have limits too: in a 2024 case over work in Northam, Building and Energy said installing an air-conditioner isolator switch and interconnect wiring went beyond the scope of a restricted licence. If your business holds an electrical contractor's licence, its EC number has to be conspicuous in your advertising, as our Perth electricians page explains. Gasfitting, such as connecting a ducted gas heater, needs a separate permit, covered on our Perth plumbers page.
Roof-mounted evaporative coolers carry a rule of their own. From 8 April 2016, new ones installed on homes in a designated bushfire prone area must be fitted with non-combustible covers, and Building and Energy's fact sheet sets out what that means at each bushfire attack level. Nothing extra applies at BAL-LOW. From BAL-12.5 to BAL-29 the unit needs non-combustible butterfly closers, or covers of mesh or perforated sheet with openings no wider than 2 mm in corrosion-resistant steel, bronze or aluminium, and it must be sealed to the roof so that no gap is wider than 3 mm. At BAL-40 and BAL-FZ, a building permit is needed. Existing coolers don't have to be upgraded, though the fact sheet suggests asking about a retrofit, and DFES warns that homes within 500 metres of bushland with a roof-mounted evaporative unit may face a higher risk of ember attack. Owners check their property on the state's Map of Bush Fire Prone Areas, whose latest version took effect on 13 December 2025, and metro councils such as Cockburn point residents to the same rules.
Noise is the other WA rule that reaches the installer, not only the owner. An installers' guide to air conditioner noise, hosted by councils including Kwinana and Nedlands, explains that section 80 of the Environmental Protection Act 1986 makes it an offence to install equipment that emits unreasonable noise when it runs, where the installer knew or should have known it would. The Act also lets an occupier convicted over that noise recover the cost of the installation, and the penalty, from the installer. The guide gives the strictest limit as 35 dB(A) from 10 pm in most suburban areas, notes that refrigerated air conditioners under 12 kW sold in WA must be labelled with their outdoor sound power level, and says the rear yard is generally a better spot than a side setback, where noise is trapped between the walls and eaves of two houses. An installer who picks the position with that in mind has something real to say on the site.
The weather sets the calendar. Perth's summer air is usually dry: the Bureau of Meteorology's Perth Metro station averages a 3 pm dew point of 12.7°C in February. The hot spells still test every system. The old Perth Regional Office site reached 46.2°C on 23 February 1991, and Perth Airport 46.7°C the same day. In summer 2021–22, the hottest on record across Greater Perth, the city had 13 days of 40°C or more, including six in a row ending on 23 January 2022, an all-time Perth record. Winter matters too, more in some suburbs than others: Jandakot Airport averages three days a year with a minimum at or below 0°C, against 0.1 at the Perth Metro station. List the suburbs you cover under plain headings, and say if bushfire-area installs or commercial refrigeration only go to some of them. We're an Adelaide team on Hutt St and work with Perth businesses by phone and email; Perth runs an hour and a half behind Adelaide, or two and a half while South Australia is on daylight saving. We haven't built for an air conditioning business or a WA client yet.
We haven't built for an HVAC business, or for anyone in WA, and we'd rather say so up front. These two South Australian sites show the parts a Perth air conditioning site leans on most: a large service area a customer can search, and a quote form that takes photos and files.
An Adelaide painting company working across South Australia. Its site has 12 service pages, region pages and a suburb and postcode search, the same setup that lets a customer type in their suburb and see at once whether an installer covers it.

Say what your team does and who does the rest. Building and Energy's fact sheet says that, at its widest, a refrigeration and air-conditioning restricted licence covers disconnecting and reconnecting equipment, fault-finding its power and control circuits, and fitting factory-supplied cable between split-system parts up to 4 kW, but not installing or altering fixed wiring. If a licensed electrical contractor runs new circuits or fits isolators for you, name them on the install page.
If you install roof-mounted evaporative coolers on homes in mapped bushfire prone areas, yes. Since 8 April 2016, new units on sites rated BAL-12.5 to BAL-29 need non-combustible butterfly closers or covers and a sealed roof joint, nothing extra applies at BAL-LOW, and BAL-40 and Flame Zone sites need a building permit. A short section with a link to the state's Map of Bush Fire Prone Areas saves a long phone call.
We think so, briefly. In WA, section 80 of the Environmental Protection Act 1986 makes installing equipment that emits unreasonable noise an offence, which puts the installer in the picture. A few lines on how you choose a position, and a quote form asking about the distance to the neighbour's windows, shows a landlord or owner you've thought about it.
One site with a clear section for each. Evaporative and refrigerated customers search differently and ask different questions, so each gets its own heading or page, linked from the home page. The 3-page site at $899 covers a home page plus one page each for evaporative and refrigerated work.
Where a manufacturer has appointed you as a dealer or installer and its terms allow the logo, yes, and we'll explain what the authorisation means for warranty claims. Brands you supply without an appointment can be named in the services text, without logos.
