Living in an apartment shouldn’t mean you’re at the mercy of unpredictable weather. Whether you’re sweltering in a west-facing Southbank high-rise during a 40-degree heatwave or shivering through a damp winter morning in a St Kilda brick walk-up, you can still have complete control over your indoor comfort with the right system.
At HR Heating and Cooling, we specialise in apartment air conditioning systems that Melbourne residents can rely on to deliver whisper-quiet, energy-efficient climate control. With nearly 300,000 apartments across Greater Melbourne (ABS Census 2021), getting year-round comfort in high-density living has become increasingly common as a challenge. Our knowledge in apartment cooling systems means we understand how to safely and effectively install and repair HVAC systems in these properties in ways that last.

Melbourne’s famous (or infamous) four seasons in a day weather creates many tricky demands for apartment dwellers. The Urban Heat Island effect intensifies temperatures in dense areas like the CBD and Docklands, turning modern glass apartments into greenhouses during summer. Meanwhile, older brick apartments in suburbs like Richmond and South Yarra struggle with poor insulation and damp, penetrating cold during winter.
Your apartment’s orientation matters significantly. West-facing units bear the brunt of afternoon sun, while south-facing apartments may barely see natural warmth even in summer. Without proper climate control, you’re trapped between unbearable heat and bone-chilling cold, with no escape in your own home.
Perhaps the biggest hurdle for apartment owners isn’t choosing the right system. Many residents feel paralysed by fear of fines or removal orders, unsure how to proceed with installation. The approval process requires detailed technical specifications, acoustic reports, and aesthetic plans that align with your building’s requirements.
As a family-owned business, we understand that your apartment is your sanctuary. Our approach combines technical knowledge with genuine care:

Not all apartment air conditioning systems work the same way. Your 15th-floor CBD apartment has vastly different needs than a ground-floor unit in a 1960s red-brick walk-up. We specialise in:
Modern apartment cooling systems in Melbourne can have unique thermal loads. We install only high-efficiency reverse-cycle systems that handle both scorching summers and damp winters while keeping your energy bills manageable.
With proper documentation and compliance, most Owners Corporations approve installations. We provide all required acoustic reports, technical specifications, and aesthetic plans that achieve smooth approval.
Today’s systems operate at whisper-quiet levels, typically under 50dB. That’s quieter than normal conversation. We only install units that meet EPA Victoria’s noise regulations and your Owners Corporation’s requirements.
System sizing depends on your apartment’s size, orientation, insulation, and glass exposure. Our specialists calculate the exact capacity needed for efficient operation without oversizing, which wastes energy and money.
