What our customers say

“Essential Aircon sized our living room and bedrooms properly. Summer nights are finally sleepable and the outdoor unit is barely noticeable.”

FAQs
Questions, answered
How big a system does an average Victorian home need?
Most family homes land between 6.6kW and 10kW of panels, but the honest answer comes from your bills, roof orientation and daytime usage.
Is a battery worth adding straight away?
It depends on evening usage and open incentives. We can design solar battery-ready if storage should wait.
Who handles rebate paperwork?
We manage STC discounts, state incentives and distributor approvals as part of the install.
How soon after I request a quote will someone call?
A consultant typically calls within one business day to gather usage details and book the next design step.
Do you only work in Victoria?
We are Melton-based but coordinate installs across Australia with accredited local crews.

What Size Air Conditioner Do You Actually Need?
Too small and it struggles on hot days; too big and it costs more and controls humidity poorly. Correct sizing is where comfort really starts.
