Air conditioning Belmont

Belmont is about half an hour south of our Mayfield workshop, on the narrow stretch of land between Lake Macquarie and the Tasman Sea. We fit, service and repair split and ducted air conditioning here, and we price new systems at no charge.

Between the lake and the beach our outdoor unit was crusted with salt. They washed it down properly, showed me the corrosion starting, and booked the next clean for six months, not twelve.

Air conditioning in Belmont 2280

A Belmont outdoor unit gets salt from the bay on a westerly and salt off Nine Mile Beach on a nor'easter, so on this side of the lake there's no wall that stays clean.

Belmont sits on a sandy peninsula with the Tasman Sea to the east and Lake Macquarie to the west, about 20 km south-west of the Newcastle CBD. The Awabakal name for the area, Bahtahbah, is usually translated as hill on a lake. Thomas Williamson took up land here in 1865, and Ada, Maude, Walter and Ernest streets carry his family's names. The 2021 census counted 7,289 people. On the lake side, Belmont Bay is home water for the Belmont 16ft Sailing Club, which raced its first skiffs there in October 1922. On the ocean side, Belmont Wetlands State Park was reserved in 2006 as the tenth state park in NSW, and has more than 4 km of frontage on Nine Mile Beach, with dunes between the houses and the surf.

23What we do here

Air conditioning work around Belmont

  • Houses on the slopes above Belmont Bay

    Units that look straight down at the water and catch the spray on a westerly. We set the outdoor unit on the side of the house that faces away from the bay where the pipe run allows, and fit stainless or coated fixings from the start.

  • Streets near the wetlands and Nine Mile Beach

    Wind off the ocean carries salt and fine sand over the dunes. On a service we wash both out of the outdoor coil with fresh water and check the fan blades, because sand chips them over time and an unbalanced fan gets noisy.

    Servicing and Cleaning
  • Medical rooms and shops along the highway

    Consulting rooms, chemists and cafes that need steady cooling all day. We service before opening and keep units quiet enough for a waiting room.

23Questions

Belmont: common questions

Do you cover Belmont, Belmont North and Jewells?

Yes, along with Belmont South, Floraville, Croudace Bay and Marks Point. Belmont is around 30 minutes from Mayfield, and Swansea is a little further down the same road. Installs, services and quote visits get a booked time, and we pass on the call-out fee for a breakdown before you agree to anything.

We're between the lake and the beach. Which side of the house should the unit go on?

There's rarely a perfect side here, so we pick the most sheltered one: often a wall the eaves protect, or the lee of a garage, away from whichever wind hits the house hardest. We ask which way the weather usually comes from at your place, because the neighbours on the next street can get it differently.

The base of our outdoor unit near the yacht club has rusted through. Repair or replace?

It depends on how far it has gone. If the rust is only on the casing and the fixings, we can clean it back and replace parts. If the coil fins are crumbling or the base tray is holed, the unit is near the end and we'll price a replacement beside the repair so you can compare.

Sand keeps building up in our outdoor unit. Is that a problem?

Yes, if it's left. Sand and salt pack into the coil and stop air getting through, so the unit runs harder and longer for the same cooling. A fresh water rinse with the power off at the isolator, never a pressure washer, keeps it down between our yearly services. Check the base of the unit too, where sand collects first.

Our holiday house in Belmont sits empty for months. How do we keep the air con working?

Run it for half an hour once a month if someone can get there, which keeps the seals and moving parts working. Book a service in late spring, before the house fills up over summer. Salt keeps working on an idle unit, so a quiet year doesn't mean it needs less care.

Our air con stopped on a hot Saturday. Can you come out to Belmont?

Ring us. We answer breakdown calls seven days a week, so on a Saturday you'll still talk to one of us. We'll ask what the unit is doing, tell you the call-out fee, and give you an honest time for when a technician can get to Belmont. If it's something you can check yourself, such as the isolator, we'll talk you through it.
