Kimberley wet and dry
Broome's build-up and wet season bring serious humidity. Size for the moisture load, the dry season is easy, the wet is the test.
Cyclone and salt spec
Cyclone-rated mounting and corrosion-resistant units are standard Broome spec, ocean air and wet-season humidity both punish shortcuts.
Freight from Perth
Everything lands in Broome with serious freight, and the trade pool is small. Prices sit well above Perth and lead times run longer.
Quote in the Dry
May to September is when Broome installers have space. The build-up rush starts the moment the humidity returns.
