Heating and cooling in Frankston and Peninsula North

Knut is preparing heating and cooling coverage in Frankston and Peninsula North. Requests and bookings open at launch.

Heating and cooling jobs you can request

Knut can connect you with tradies for air-conditioner installation, air-conditioner repair, heating repair and HVAC maintenance. If you’re arranging a new air conditioner, explain that installation is the work you need. For a unit or heating system that isn’t working as expected, describe the repair required and any symptoms you have noticed. Maintenance requests can outline the system or equipment you want checked. These details help make clear which service you’re requesting, so suitable tradies can consider the job and provide quotes. Knut sends requests to tradies who cover the area and offer the service.

How to brief your job

Describe what needs doing, where the work is, and when you’d like it done. For an installation, say that you need an air conditioner installed; for a fault, explain whether the issue is with air conditioning or heating and what you have observed. If you’re requesting HVAC maintenance, state that clearly. Add photos if they would help show the equipment or the issue. You only need to describe the job once through Knut. A clear description gives suitable tradies useful context when they consider your request and prepare quotes. You can message the tradie and follow progress in one place after booking.

Costs and Knut’s booking fee

There is no charge to request quotes. If you book through Knut, you pay Knut one booking fee: 5% on smaller jobs, tapering to 2.5% on large jobs, and never more than $150.00. You also pay the tradie’s quoted price for the work. The fee is paid to Knut at booking; the tradie keeps 100% of their quoted price, and Knut does not charge tradies to quote. Knut compares the quotes it receives and recommends the one that best fits the job, on merit. Consider the quote and the work described before you decide whether to book.

Choosing and checking a tradie

This trade involves licensed work, so Knut only matches you with tradies whose licence has been verified. When comparing quotes, check what work each quote covers and whether it addresses the job you described. Ask the tradie about anything that is unclear before booking, such as the proposed work or what is included in the quote. Knut recommends a quote that best fits the job, on merit, but you make the booking decision. Once booked through Knut, you can message the tradie and follow progress in one place. Property managers, real-estate agencies and facilities teams can also use Knut for maintenance across many properties.
