Heater Repair & Air Con Boronia - Your Local Heating & Cooling Specialist

Boronia's quiet, tree-lined residential streets around the train station and Boronia Mall are home to a lot of long-established properties, many built in the 1960s, 70s and 80s with original ducted gas heating still doing the job decades later. That older housing stock is precisely where we see the most common heater faults — ageing controllers, worn ignitors, ductwork that's shifted over time as the house has settled. The Heater Repairman has spent 35+ years getting to know exactly how these systems age and fail, and we're on hand nearby to fix them properly rather than push an unnecessary replacement.

A long established suburb we all know

Boronia hasn't seen the rapid redevelopment some neighbouring suburbs have, and that's a good thing for homeowners — it means original systems, floor plans and ductwork are well understood territory for us. We've repaired heating systems in Boronia homes for well over three decades, so when we arrive, we're rarely seeing a layout or setup we haven't dealt with before, whether that's a home near the shops on Boronia Road or one of the quieter streets further from the station.

Common heater problems in Boronia

Original 1970s-80s ducted system struggling to reach a comfortable temperature
Thermostat or wall controller no longer responding accurately
Ignitor clicking repeatedly without the burner lighting
Ductwork noise as ageing metal expands and contracts during heating cycles
Pilot light going out repeatedly in older standing-pilot systems
Musty or burning smell on first use each season

Heater repairs for Boronia's original systems

Many Boronia homes are still running the ducted gas heater that came with the house — often a Brivis, Braemar or Vulcan unit that's now 20, 30 or more years old. We repair Brivis, Braemar, Bonaire, Vulcan, Lennox, Omega and Kaden systems, and with older units the priority is always an honest assessment: repair where it makes sense, and straight advice when a system is genuinely at the end of its life. We also service gas log fires and space heaters, both common supplementary heating choices in Boronia's established homes.

Air con installation in Boronia

A lot of Boronia homes are adding air conditioning for the first time rather than replacing an old system, since many properties were built in an era when ducted gas was the only consideration. We supply and install split system, ducted and multi-head air conditioning and can advise on what fits an established home without major structural changes to the roof or ceiling space.

Our straightforward repair process

Give us a call on 0433 547 007 and let us know what your heater's doing. We'll arrange a suitable time. When our technician arrives, the priority is an accurate diagnosis — not guesswork — followed by a clear quote before anything is touched. Most jobs are finished in the one visit, and we always test the repaired system through a proper cycle before we consider the job done.

Do you install air conditioning in homes that only currently have gas heating?

My heater smells musty when I first turn it on for the season — is that normal?

A brief dusty smell on first use is common, but a persistent or burning smell is not and should be checked. We can assess whether it's simply dust burning off the elements or a sign of a more serious fault.

My Boronia home still has its original heater from when it was built — is it worth repairing?

Often, yes. Many older systems are mechanically sound and just need worn components replaced. We'll always give you an honest assessment rather than push a replacement you don't need.
