Your Kew home deserves a climate system that works with its character, not against it. Whether you live in a classic Edwardian residence near Kew Junction or a contemporary home overlooking Studley Park, expert heating and cooling in Kew starts with understanding the property you live in.
McKinnon Heating & Cooling has spent more than 50 years helping Melbourne homeowners achieve year-round comfort. From ducted heating installation to air conditioning options built for complex floor plans, our team delivers systems that perform quietly, effectively and reliably across every room.
Tailored Heating and Cooling Options for Kew Homes
Kew’s residential landscape is wonderfully diverse. The suburb features everything from grand Victorian and Federation homes with double-brick walls and high ceilings through to modern architectural townhouses and apartments along High Street and Cotham Road. Each property type presents unique considerations when it comes to effective climate control.
Our approach begins with understanding how your family uses the home. We assess the layout, ceiling heights, insulation and room orientation before recommending a system. Whether you need a multi-zone ducted system, a series of wall split systems or a combination approach, we design every recommendation around your specific property and lifestyle.

Heating Services for Kew’s Cooler Months
Melbourne winters demand a heating system that delivers even warmth throughout your home without excessive running costs. Many Kew properties, particularly those with original construction features like solid brick walls and timber-framed windows, benefit enormously from a properly designed and modern heating system.
Ducted Heating and Electric Heat Pumps
We specialise in ducted heating systems built for balanced airflow across single and multi-storey homes. For homeowners looking to lower energy costs, our team are industry leaders in gas to electric conversions transitioning households from ageing gas ducted systems to modern electric heat pump technology. This shift not only lowers running costs but also provides both heating and cooling from a single system.
Hydronic Heating
For period residences that call for discreet, gentle warmth, hydronic heating delivers radiant comfort through panels or underfloor systems. It operates silently and pairs beautifully with the aesthetic of Kew’s established homes.
Air Conditioning That Complements Your Property
Effective cooling matters just as much as heating in Kew. We design our air conditioning installations with careful attention to both performance and visual impact. We understand that homeowners along the leafy streets near Studley Park Road value aesthetics alongside functionality, and our team works to position outdoor units and select indoor components that sit comfortably within your property’s design.
Our cooling options include wall split systems for individual rooms, multi-head split systems for multiple zones, evaporative cooling and add-on cooling for homes with existing ducted heating. We select and size each system to suit your specific requirements, whether you are cooling a single living area or an entire residence.
