Heating and cooling in West

Knut is preparing heating and cooling coverage in West. Requests and bookings open at launch.

Heating and cooling jobs

Knut can connect you with tradies for air-conditioner installation, air-conditioner repair, heating repair and HVAC maintenance. When requesting help, explain whether you need a new unit installed, an existing air-conditioner checked, a heating problem looked at or maintenance carried out. If you are responsible for several properties, property managers, real-estate agencies and facilities teams can also use Knut to organise maintenance across them. Heating and cooling work involves licensed work, so Knut only matches these jobs to tradies whose licence has been verified.

How to brief your job

Give a clear description of what needs doing and where the work is required. Include when you need the work done, and add photos if they would help explain the issue or the installation. For a repair request, describe what is happening with the air-conditioner or heating; for maintenance, say that maintenance is the work you are seeking. A useful brief gives tradies context to assess the job and prepare quotes. You only need to describe the job once through Knut, which sends it to suitable local tradies who cover the area and offer that service.

Costs and Knut's booking fee

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

Choosing and checking a tradie

Compare the quotes you receive against the work you described, and consider which one best fits the job. Heating and cooling involves licensed work; Knut only matches it to tradies whose licence has been verified. If a quote or the proposed work is unclear, message the tradie through Knut before booking. Once booked, you can message the tradie and follow progress in one place. For immediate danger to life or property, such as a gas leak, fire, electrical hazard or flooding, call 000 or the relevant emergency service first.

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.
