Bundall

What should Bundall homeowners consider before installing ducted air?

Mainly the house's age, its roof space and how close it sits to the water. Bundall wraps around the Nerang River between Surfers Paradise and Benowa, with riverfront and canal homes, quieter residential streets, the Gold Coast Turf Club and an office district along Bundall Road. Each of those affects where equipment can go and how it is protected.

Many Bundall houses date from the 1970s and 1980s: low-set brick homes and larger waterfront houses, some since renovated or rebuilt. Older roofs can be low-pitched with limited room for ducts, and original wiring may need attention. Waterfront homes also face moist, salty air off the tidal river, which is hard on outdoor units.

Ducted air conditioning gives Bundall homes:

  • Room-by-room zoning, so living areas facing the water and bedrooms at the back can be set differently.
  • Silence indoors, with the fan coil concealed in the roof.
  • Efficient comfort through inverter compressors and zones you can switch off.
  • Uncluttered rooms, with no wall heads competing with river views.

Install, service, repair

Who installs and services ducted air conditioning in Bundall?

Frost Solutions. We are based in Burleigh Heads, about 13 km south, and our own installers, service technicians and licensed electricians handle Bundall jobs from start to finish: new installs, replacements, servicing, repairs and office air conditioning. We do not use subcontractors.

Homes

We install Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Daikin, Samsung, Hisense, Fujitsu, Mitsubishi Electric, Panasonic, with zone control from ZoneTouch or AirTouch 5. In older Bundall homes, our electricians check the switchboard and wiring as part of the same visit. For a house that already has ducted air, we assess whether a replacement can reuse any existing ductwork. See installation for more.

Offices and commercial

For Bundall's office buildings and small business tenancies, we install and maintain ducted, ceiling cassette and split systems. Read about commercial air conditioning.

Servicing, repairs and warranty

Book maintenance for a clean and check, or a repair if something has failed. New installs are covered by a 10-year workmanship guarantee (including the refrigerant charge and call-outs), 10 years on duct and pipework and 5 years parts and labour on units, once paid in full. See the warranty page.

Benefits

Why is ducted air conditioning worth it in a Bundall home?

It keeps the whole house comfortable through humid riverside summers, lets you cool only the rooms in use, runs quietly and leaves walls clear for windows and views. For larger waterfront homes, it is usually simpler and neater than a split system in every room.

  • Comfort throughout the house, including upstairs and rear rooms.
  • Quiet: no wall units in living or sleeping areas.
  • Efficient: zoning cuts the area you are cooling.
  • Discreet: slim ceiling outlets suit renovated interiors.
  • Zoning: independent control of each area.
  • Space: one outdoor unit, nothing on internal walls.
  • Value: ducted air is expected in quality waterfront homes.
  • Air quality: filtered air and an optional UV air filter for damp, mould-prone months.

Running costs

How do you keep ducted running costs low in Bundall?

Choose a correctly sized, efficient system, zone the house, keep the set point moderate and look after the outdoor unit. The Australian Government recommends 25 to 27°C for cooling and 18 to 20°C for heating. On humid days, the dry mode removes moisture with less energy than full cooling.

  • Efficient equipment: compare the Energy Rating Label.
  • Right size: calculated room by room, including large glass facing the river.
  • Zones: only cool the rooms you are in.
  • Thermostat: moderate, steady settings.
  • Servicing: clean coils and filters; rinse salt off the outdoor unit.
  • Ducts: sealed, insulated R1.5 ducting in older roofs.
  • Fans: ceiling fans let you raise the set point.
  • Shading: external blinds on west and north glass.

Riverfront homes

How do you protect an air conditioner on a Bundall riverfront property?

Put the outdoor unit in the most sheltered position the block allows, raise it off the ground, keep it clear of sprinklers and garden beds, and add a protective coating. Then keep it clean. Salt and moisture off the river slowly corrode the coil fins, fasteners and electrical terminals if nothing is done.

On a waterfront block, the obvious spot for the outdoor unit is not always the best one. The water side gets the most wind and spray, and units near pontoons or boat ramps can also collect salt from boat washing. A side setback, screened from the prevailing wind, usually lasts longer. Where a property is in a low-lying, flood-prone area, mounting the unit higher on a bracket or stand is worth considering.

Our corrosion protection service adds a protective treatment to the outdoor unit, and a yearly service catches early corrosion before it becomes an expensive repair.

Good questions

Frequently asked questions

Do you install air conditioning in Bundall offices as well as homes?

Yes. Alongside residential ducted work, we install and service air conditioning for offices and small commercial tenancies, including ducted, cassette and split systems. See commercial air conditioning.

Where should the outdoor unit go on a Bundall riverfront home?

Somewhere sheltered, ventilated and easy to service, and ideally not on the water side where it catches salt-laden wind and boat spray. A side setback or a screened spot near the garage often works. We agree the position with you at the inspection.

How long does it take you to get to Bundall?

Bundall is about 13 km north of our Burleigh Heads workshop, via the Gold Coast Highway or the M1 and Bundall Road. It is close enough that follow-up visits are easy to schedule.

Can you add ducted air to a renovated or rebuilt Bundall home?

Yes. In a renovation, the best time is while ceilings are open or before new ceilings go in, so ducts and pipes can be run neatly. See new builds and renovations.

    Couldn't recommend Frost Solutions highly enough. We recently had them install a 16kW Daikin ducted system with 8 outlets, 6 independent zones, AirTouch 5, multiple upgrades and a 5 year service plan. ... Another big positive is that Frost Solutions have their own electrical team as part of the installation. ... the entire experience was seamless.

    Frost Solutions installed ducted air conditioning in my home today and I couldn't be happier. The team were professional, friendly, punctual, and down to earth. ... left the house spotless ... I also really appreciated the follow-up call from the office later in the day to check I was completely satisfied ... They're a local business with local staff, and the value was extremely competitive for the quality of service and workmanship provided.

    Thanks guys For installing my Panasonic 18 kilowatt Ducted air conditioning today. The guys turned up on time and were very polite. They worked hard all day, did a great job and left the house neat and tidy. Also they were $2000 cheaper than the others. :)

    A massive thanks to Frost Solutions. We got a 16kw ducted system put in with 7 zones and 9 outlets. Tyrone and the team were super friendly and very professional doing an awesome job, even helping me to keep maximum space in our roof so I could do an attic room. They also decommissioned and removed 2 of our old split systems. Could not recommend them more highly.
