Split system and ceiling fan electrical
in Fitzroy.

High ceilings and thick masonry walls keep Fitzroy terraces cool in spring and stubbornly warm after a run of hot days. A split system in the main living room helps, and so can a ceiling fan in the bedroom. Both need electrical planning. A split system needs its own circuit, and the board has to have room for it, which older boards often don't. Running the cable between the indoor and outdoor units through masonry means choosing a route that doesn't mark the front of a heritage terrace, so outdoor units usually go to the rear or the side. We fit an isolator next to the outdoor unit and test everything on completion. The refrigerant pipework is handled by a licensed air-conditioning installer. For ceiling fan installation, we locate a solid fixing, because tall ornate ceilings can hide a surprising amount of plaster and little timber.

What the job involves, warning signs and what's included are on our main a/c & ceiling fans page. For everything else we do locally, see electrician Fitzroy.
