Heating and cooling in North

Knut is preparing heating and cooling coverage in 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 in North. If you know what is wrong, explain the problem in everyday terms; if you are unsure, describe what the system is doing and ask for it to be checked. For an installation, say what equipment you want installed and where the work is needed. For maintenance, outline which system or equipment needs attention. A clear description helps tradies understand the request and prepare a relevant quote. You can request quotes without charge.

How to brief your heating or cooling job

Include the address or postcode, what work you want done and when you would like it done. For a repair, describe the symptoms, when you noticed them and whether they come and go. For installation or maintenance, identify the equipment if you can, and explain what outcome you are looking for. Photos can help show the equipment or the area where work is needed, but add them only if useful. If you manage several properties, make clear which property the request is for. Knut sends your description to suitable local tradies who cover the area and offer that service.

Quotes, costs and Knut's booking fee

There is no charge to request quotes. Knut compares the quotes received and recommends the one that best fits the job, on merit; you can review the tradie's quoted price for the work before booking. When 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. The tradie keeps 100% of their quoted price, and Knut does not charge tradies to quote. The booking fee is paid to Knut at booking, separately from the tradie's quoted price.

Choosing and checking a tradie

Compare the quotes you receive against the work you described, and check that each quote addresses the job you need done. Heating and cooling involves licensed work, so Knut only matches it to tradies whose licence has been verified. Before booking, clarify any details you still need to understand about the quoted work directly with the tradie. Once you book 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 to arrange maintenance across many properties.

Knut's booking fee

Requesting quotes is free. When you book, Knut adds one booking fee, shown before you pay, and never more than $150. The provider keeps 100% of their quote.
