What matters for heating & cooling in Cairns

  • The northern Australia wet season runs from about October to April, and that is when tropical flooding and the heaviest rain happen. External work such as roofing, painting and drainage is easier to schedule in the dry months.

  • Some Queensland work needs a licence at any value, including plumbing, drainage, gas fitting, chemical termite management, fire protection and mechanical services. Hydraulic services design needs a licence once it passes $1,100.

  • Most Queensland plumbing in an existing home is notifiable work, so the plumber registers it with the QBCC on a Form 4 within 10 business days of invoicing and must give you a copy. Replacing a water heater and moving a toilet, shower or basin are both on the notifiable list.

  • Queensland's Climate Smart Energy Savers appliance rebate and the Battery Booster battery rebate have both closed to new applications. Be careful with any quote that still discounts a heat pump, air conditioner or battery against a Queensland state rebate.
