Thinking about upgrading your heating or cooling system but not sure where to start? Cheltenham is a well-established suburb with a good mix of post-war homes, renovated properties, and newer builds and each one has its own set of requirements when it comes to climate control.
Getting the right system means looking at your floor plan, how the home is insulated, and how you use the space day to day, not just picking a unit off a brochure. McKinnon Heating & Cooling has been working across Cheltenham and the broader Bayside area for over 50 years. We install and service ducted heating and cooling, reverse cycle split systems, hydronic heating, and electric heat pumps, and we carry trusted brands including Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, Fujitsu, and Panasonic.

Heating and Cooling Systems Designed for Cheltenham Homes
Ducted Heating Installation
A properly designed ducted heating system transforms how your home feels during Melbourne’s colder months. We work with homeowners, builders and renovators to carefully engineer each system for balanced airflow, reliable performance and lasting energy efficiency. Our team also specialises in gas to electric conversions helping Cheltenham households move away from rising gas costs and toward modern electric heat pump technology that significantly lowers running expenses.
We carefully plan every installation. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all approaches. We factor your home’s layout, ceiling heights and heating demands into the system design from the beginning.
Air Conditioning Installation
Melbourne weather rarely sits still, which is why choosing a durable, well-matched cooling system matters. We install wall split systems, multi-head split systems, evaporative cooling and add-on cooling options, recommending the right choice for your space without overselling features you don’t need. From cooling a single room to managing multiple living zones or an entire home, we plan every installation with precision.
Our team also provides ongoing servicing and repairs to keep your system operating at peak performance long after installation. From expert advice through to extensive after-sales support, we focus on getting things right the first time.
