Heat pumps for Burnside family homes and extensions
Burnside is an older north-west suburb of family homes. Many are brick and tile or weatherboard, on decent sized sections. There are plenty of bigger homes too. Lots have been added to over the years. The old heating often only covers part of the house.
- A new family room. Often open plan with lots of glass. Size the unit for the glass, not just the floor area.
- A master suite. Newer and better insulated than the rest of the house. A small wall unit of its own will heat it quietly overnight.
- A converted garage. Often a concrete floor, and walls never built to live in. Unless they were insulated in the conversion, it loses heat fast. It needs more heat than a bedroom the same size.
- The original rooms. In a brick and tile or weatherboard house, they lose more heat than the add-ons. We check the ceiling insulation there first.
Heat pump installation in an extended Burnside home
With an extended home, we treat it as a set of zones, not one space. Usually that’s the old living area, the newer family room and the bedrooms. Each zone has its own size, windows and insulation. Then you choose whether each zone gets its own unit or they share one system.
- A unit for each zone. Each one sized for its room. Each one with its own control.
- A multi-room system. Several indoor units on one outdoor unit. You only need room outside for one.
- Ducted with zones. One system, a vent in each room, and you choose which areas get heat. This is heat pump zoning.

Heat pump service for busy Burnside households
Busy Burnside households work their heat pumps hard. That’s why a regular service matters. More people and pets clog the filters faster. A dirty filter makes the unit work harder for less heat. Rinse the filters every few weeks in winter. Book a proper clean once a year. See maintenance and servicing.
Matching old and new parts of a Burnside house
On a winter evening, the old lounge and the new family room can feel very different. The older room loses heat through its walls and windows faster. So it often needs a slightly bigger unit than its floor area suggests. Size each zone on its own. Then you won’t have one room too warm and the other never quite there. We size each zone the same way we size a single room. See heat pump sizing.

Questions about heat pumps in Burnside
My Burnside home has an extension the heat pump doesn't reach. What can I do?
A new extension usually needs its own unit. Or use a multi-room system and add an indoor unit there. If the old heat pump is getting on, replace it with one system for both areas. That can be tidier.
Can I heat only the rooms I'm using?
Yes. Use separate units, or a ducted system with zones. Then you heat the living area by day and the bedrooms at night. Heat pump zoning explains how.
Do you do yearly servicing in Burnside?
Yes, for all major brands. We clean the filters, indoor coil and drain. We check the outdoor unit and test how it's running.
