Common heating and cooling jobs

Knut can help you find a tradie for air-conditioner installation, air-conditioner repair, heating repair or HVAC maintenance. When you describe the job, explain what equipment or system needs attention and what you want done. If you are unsure whether the problem needs repair or maintenance, describe what you have noticed rather than guessing at the cause. You can include photos if they help show the equipment or issue. Property managers, real-estate agencies and facilities teams can also use Knut to organise maintenance across many properties.

How to brief your heating and cooling job

Give a clear description of the work, where it is, and when you would like it done. Include the type of job—such as an installation, repair or maintenance—and explain any symptoms or relevant details you know. Photos can help a tradie understand the job, but are optional. If you are arranging work across several properties, say which property each job relates to and what work is needed at each one. Knut sends your request to suitable local tradies who cover the area and offer that service, so useful details help them prepare relevant quotes.

Costs and Knut’s booking fee

There is no charge to request quotes. Customers pay Knut one booking fee when they book: 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 when booking through Knut. Tradies keep 100% of their quoted price, and Knut does not charge them to quote. Knut compares the quotes it receives and recommends the one that best fits the job, on merit. Review the quote and booking details before confirming.

Choosing and checking a tradie

Heating and cooling involves licensed work, so Knut only matches this service to tradies whose licence has been verified. Knut compares the quotes it receives and recommends an option based on how well it fits your job, on merit. Read the quote carefully to understand the work being offered, then ask the tradie about anything you want clarified before booking. Once booked through Knut, you can message the tradie and follow progress in one place. If there is immediate danger to life or property, such as a gas leak, fire, electrical hazard or flooding, call 000 or the relevant emergency service first.
