Your Kew residence deserves air conditioning that complements its character, not one that compromises it. Whether you own a Federation home near Studley Park, an Edwardian villa in the Sackville Ward or a contemporary property along Cotham Road, McKinnon Heating & Cooling provides air conditioning Kew homeowners trust for quality, discretion and long-term performance.
With more than 50 years of industry experience and an ownership team with over 100 years of combined knowledge, we understand that homes in this part of Melbourne demand more than a generic installation. You want a system that performs quietly, runs effectively and sits comfortably within your property’s existing aesthetic.
Air Conditioning Installation Designed for Kew Properties
Our team assesses your property’s construction type, room orientation, insulation levels and ceiling heights before recommending the right system. For period homes, we specialise in discreet reverse cycle ducted systems/ducted-heating-melbourne/ with linear slot grilles that blend smoothly into existing interiors, preserving the look and feel of your living spaces without bulky wall-mounted units or visible pipework.
For newer builds and renovations, we work closely with homeowners and builders to integrate cooling systems during the design phase, achieving clean lines and balanced airflow from the start. Whether you need ducted air conditioning, a wall split system, multi-head split system or add-on cooling, we carefully tailor every air conditioning installation to your property and how your family uses each space.
Our experience with Kew’s double-brick construction and complex roof cavities means we can install systems with minimal disruption to your home and its surroundings. This matters when your property represents a significant investment.

Cooling Services for Every Kew Household
Every household has different cooling requirements. A family managing multiple living zones needs a different approach to a couple cooling a single open-plan space or a homeowner upgrading an outdated gas system.
Our air conditioning services include:
- Reverse cycle ducted systems for whole-home climate control
- Wall split systems for targeted single-room cooling
- Multi-head split systems for multiple zones on a single outdoor unit
- Evaporative cooling for energy-conscious households
- Add-on cooling integrated with existing ducted heating
We also provide gas to electric conversions for homeowners looking to move away from rising gas costs. Modern electric heat pump technology delivers both heating and cooling from one system, improving year-round effectiveness and lowering ongoing running costs significantly.
Air Conditioning Service and Ongoing Maintenance
A well-maintained system runs more effectively, lasts longer and delivers better air quality for your family. In leafy suburbs like Kew, seasonal pollen and debris from mature European trees can affect outdoor units over time, making regular servicing particularly worthwhile.
McKinnon Heating & Cooling provides extensive air conditioning service and repair across all major brands and system types. Our technicians carry out scheduled maintenance, filter replacements, refrigerant checks and performance assessments to keep your system operating at peak effectiveness year after year.
Whether your system needs a seasonal tune-up or an urgent repair, our team is here to help. We are available Monday to Friday, 9am to 4:30pm. Call us on 1300 30 42 52 or email sales@mckinnonheating.com.au to book your next air conditioning service appointment.
