Wimmera heat
Horsham runs among the hottest averages in Victoria, with long dry summer stretches. Systems get worked hard for months rather than days.
Evaporative is common
The dry heat suits evaporative cooling and plenty of local homes have it. Converting to refrigerated is a bigger job than a like-for-like swap.
Distance from Melbourne
Freight and travel are real costs out here. Local installers usually beat visiting crews on total price.
