Air conditioning in Nambour.

Inland means hotter and more humid.

Sitting back from the coast, Nambour misses the cooling sea breeze the beachside suburbs enjoy — so summer days run hotter and more humid here, and the cooling load on a home is genuinely higher. That makes correct sizing even more important: an undersized unit that copes at Mooloolaba will struggle in Nambour. We do a proper heat-load calculation that accounts for the inland conditions so the system you get actually keeps up on the worst days.

Old Queenslanders retrofitting split systems.

Nambour is full of classic timber Queenslanders — high ceilings, big rooms, lots of windows and, traditionally, no air conditioning. Retrofitting split systems into these homes is bread-and-butter work for us, and it takes a bit of care: high ceilings and large rooms need more capacity than the floor area alone suggests, and the pipework and condenser have to be routed and sited sympathetically on an older home. For whole-home cooling in a larger Queenslander, a ducted system works well where the roof space allows.

Servicing for the humidity.

Nambour’s higher humidity is hard on systems — it feeds mould and slime on the coil and in the condensate drain faster than on the breezier coast. A yearly service with a proper coil clean and drain flush keeps efficiency up, the air clean and the warranty valid. And when an older retrofitted unit faults, our repair team covers all brands across the hinterland.

Typical Nambour jobs.

• Split-system retrofit into a high-ceilinged timber Queenslander, sized for the room
• Multi-room split or ducted install for a larger inland home
• Capacity upgrade where an old undersized unit can’t cope with the inland heat
• Annual service with coil clean and drain flush for the humidity
• All-brand repairs for hinterland homes
