Services
Ducted Heating
Our ducted gas heating systems provide rapid, whole-home warmth through strategically placed vents. Using Braemar and Brivis systems, we install energy-efficient solutions that maintain consistent temperatures across multiple zones. Professional setup includes ductwork design tailored to property layouts for optimal heat distribution.
Hydronic Heating
Hydronic systems circulate hot water through underfloor pipes or wall-mounted panels for even, comfortable warmth. We supply and install premium components that integrate with existing plumbing, offering zoned control and compatibility with solar thermal systems for reduced running costs.
Evaporative Cooling
Braemar and Brivis evaporative cooling systems deliver fresh, cool air by drawing warm air through water-soaked pads. Ideal for Ballarat's dry climate, these energy-efficient units use minimal electricity while maintaining indoor air quality through continuous ventilation.
Hot Water Systems
We provide complete hot water solutions including Apricus solar systems, Rheem gas storage units, and Rinnai continuous flow models. Installations include government rebate processing and our six-year workmanship guarantee, ensuring reliable, cost-effective hot water supply.
Heat Recovery Ventilation
STIEBEL ELTRON heat recovery ventilation systems improve indoor air quality by removing stale air while retaining heat energy. Our installations feature pollen filtration and humidity control, creating healthier living environments with reduced energy consumption for asthma and allergy sufferers.

We were very impressed with the initial install of a full ducted air con early last year. Then with the recent January storms when the power surges blew out the controller board there was no hesitancy to have it repaired. Tech was even still on holidays, but was cheerful about helping. The initial email response on Sunday morning of the new year break was a surprise too.

We used Waldrons on our new build to install an Actron ESP Platinum Que system. Service was second to none, the way the boys were working on freshly poured concrete to minimise marking to install the system was amazing. We had issues with our zone controllers not functioning due to a bad batch. The issue wasnt Waldrons to rectify yet had the parts expressed out by Actron to them and installed in their own time. Cannot recommend this company enough for their workmanship and customer service!!

Waldron installed Hydronic heating in our house, they spent as much time with us as we needed when we were designing the system to maximise how efficient it was as we are off grid and run from LPG tanks. Even though their price was the best by a good ten percent, we chose them because of their knowledge and confidence that they could build what we needed. The team who came to do the install were friendly, respectful and I have never had such clean tradespeople, they cleaned as they went and left the house cleaner than it was when they came! The system has been in for a few weeks now and it is brilliant

Waldron installed a ducted heating system in my house. Excellent service and good value for money. The job was a lot more involved than I anticipated (almost 2 full days for a 4 man crew) but the crew was professional and efficient and friendly. I would definitely use them again and recommend them to others. Thanks guys - top notch.

I had a really positive experience with Waldron from the first measure & quote right through to the handover of our new heating and cooling system. Steve and Matt handled different parts of the process, but seem to make a great team. Thanks again
