Murwillumbah
Do you install ducted air conditioning in Murwillumbah?
Yes. Murwillumbah is the main town of the Tweed Valley in NSW, on the Tweed River beneath Wollumbin (Mount Warning), about 50 km from our Burleigh Heads workshop via the M1 and Tweed Valley Way. We install, replace, service and repair ducted systems in Murwillumbah and the surrounding valley.
Murwillumbah has a different character to the Tweed Coast. The town centre and older streets have timber homes on stumps, some dating back many decades, alongside brick homes on the hillsides and newer houses on the town's edges. Tweed Shire Council is based here. See the Tweed and Northern Rivers page for the rest of the region we cover.
Valley climate
How is Murwillumbah's climate different from the coast?
It swings further both ways. Being inland in a valley, Murwillumbah misses most of the sea breeze, so summer days get hotter and more humid than at Kingscliff or Tweed Heads. In winter, cold air settles in the valley overnight, bringing cooler mornings and fog. A system here has to heat well, not just cool.
That shapes the choice of unit and the design. We look at heating capacity alongside cooling capacity, and we zone the house so you can heat the living area in the morning and the bedrooms at night without running the whole system. Ceiling insulation matters as much as the unit: in older homes with little insulation, we will point out where an upgrade would help the system work less hard.
Older homes
Can an older timber Murwillumbah home take ducted air?
Many can. The main question is the roof space. Older homes with steeply pitched roofs often have plenty of room for the indoor unit and duct; homes with low-pitched iron roofs or many additions may not. We check the roof, the ceiling framing and the switchboard at the inspection before recommending anything.
Character homes also have features worth protecting, such as decorative ceilings and timber detailing. We position outlets and the return air grille to suit the room, and talk through the visual impact before cutting anything. Older switchboards are common in these homes; our electricians assess the board and include any upgrade needed in the quote, working under our NSW electrical licence 357593C.
Flood-aware
Where should the outdoor unit go in flood-prone parts of Murwillumbah?
Above the likely flood level wherever practical. Parts of Murwillumbah, including low-lying areas near the river, have flooded in major events, including 2017 and 2022. An outdoor unit sitting on a slab in floodwater will usually need replacing, so height is worth planning in.
On these blocks, we can mount the outdoor unit on a wall bracket or a raised platform, and keep the electrical isolator above the expected water level. Tweed Shire Council's flood information will show your property's level; let us know when you book. For homes on the hills, flooding is not an issue, and we concentrate on shade, airflow and noise instead.
NSW licensing and warranty
What licences and warranties apply in Murwillumbah?
Electrical work is done under our NSW electrical licence 357593C, and refrigerant handling under our ARCtick authorisation AU064493, which is national. Your install carries our 10-year workmanship guarantee, including the refrigerant charge and call-outs, and 10 years on duct and pipework.
Units have five years parts and labour (Hisense five plus two), and ZoneTouch controllers five years. Warranties apply once the job is paid in full. If you already have a system that is struggling through the valley's hot summers, see our repairs page or book a free quote.

Good questions
Murwillumbah ducted air conditioning questions
Can ducted air conditioning go under the floor of a Murwillumbah house on stumps?
We design most systems with ceiling outlets fed from the roof space. In raised timber homes with a low roof, we look at every option at the inspection and, where ducted will not work well, quote a multi-head system or split systems instead.
What happens to my outdoor unit in a flood?
Floodwater usually destroys an outdoor unit's electrics and compressor. On flood-prone blocks we mount the unit as high as practical, on a wall bracket or raised platform, so check your property's flood level with Tweed Shire Council before we install.
Is reverse-cycle heating worth it in Murwillumbah?
Yes, for most homes. The valley gets cooler winter nights and foggy mornings than the coast, and a reverse-cycle ducted system heats chosen zones from the same unit that cools in summer.

Absolutely fantastic experience with Frost Solutions! I recently had a ducted air-conditioning system installed and honestly, from the very first conversation through to the finished installation, the whole process was seamless. ... The installation itself was done to a really high standard, the team worked efficiently and left everything clean and tidy. ... Great people, great communication, great workmanship and a great result.

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.
