What recent reviews say

Sophie Collins and Karen Sweeney earn repeated five-star praise for patient, pressure-free guidance through system selection and upgrades. Installation and service teams are mostly remembered as professional and friendly. However, a detailed account of installation failures (flare joint leaks, undersized systems, missing pressure test certificates) and separate reports of wall damage and surprise charges point to inconsistency in workmanship and site care that deserves serious weight despite the positive majority.

The company's 87% five-star rate reflects its strength in customer contact and system advising. Its weaknesses appear in execution: technicians sometimes damage walls, appointments shift without notice, and some installations have fallen short of industry standards. This gap between sales experience and job quality is worth asking about before committing.

  • knowledgeable advice without pressure
Watch-outs

Common questions

Do you work with new builders?
Yes. Sophie Collins and other account managers work with HomeGroup WA and other builders, helping customers select and schedule installations during construction.
Can you convert an evaporative system to reverse cycle?
The business's website lists evaporative-to-reverse-cycle conversion as a service, though no reviews speak to this specifically.
Will I face surprise charges after installation?
One review mentions unexpected electrician charges added after a $3600 quoted installation price. It is worth clarifying what is and is not covered before signing.

Five-star reviews consistently praise Brett, David, and Riley for professional ducted and split system installations, fair pricing, and clean site work. However, multiple one and two-star reviews over several years document missed appointments, no-shows, and ignored customer follow-ups, creating a pattern of unreliability that contradicts the quality of work when jobs are completed.
